• PIN CODES

The PIN (Personal Identity Number) and PIN2 codes are 4- to 8-digit
numbers that usually come from your service provider along with the SIM
card. Use the PIN code to protect your phone and SIM card against
unauthorized use. The PIN2 code activates some of your phone’s functions,
such as Call cost limit. See “Manage call costs” on page 51.

When the phone requires the PIN or PIN2 code, it displays Enter PIN code:
or Enter PIN2 code:.

Enter the code then press OK.

Note: When the phone is locked, calls may be possible to the
emergency number programmed into your phone (for example, 911
or other official emergency number).
