Security
When it is disconnected, you can lock your modem so that
others cannot use the modem and your account. A four‐digit
lock code is needed to unlock the modem.
Initial lock code
The initial lock code value is determined by your service
provider.
For service provider configurations that do not require account
activation, a default lock code is set at the factory to a value
determined by the service provider. For assistance, contact
your service provider.
Configurations that use the Activation Assistant or automated
activation set the initial lock code to the last four digits of your
account phone number whenever a new phone number is
activated.
Note: The security lock code is reset to the last four digits of the
phone number whenever an account is activated.
Warning regarding the lock code
If you lock the modem and forget the lock code, you will not
be able to use the modem until you receive assistance from
your service provider.
When the modem is locked
When the modem is locked, you can:
• Unlock the modem ( page 36 ).
When the modem is locked, you cannot:
• Make data connections (the Connect button is unavailable).
• Power off the modem.
• Use GPS or SMS.
