Device security

You can modify the security settings for the PIN code, automatic locking of the device, and changing of the SIM card. You can

also change the PIN code, PIN2 code, lock code, and restriction password.
Avoid using codes that are similar to emergency numbers, such as 112, to prevent accidental dialling of the emergency number.
Codes are shown as asterisks. When changing a code, enter the current code, and then the new code twice.
Defining device lock settings

Important: In offline profile you cannot make (or receive) any calls, or use other features that require GSM network

coverage. To make any calls, you must first activate the phone function by changing the profile. You may, however, be

able to make an emergency call in offline profile by pressing the power key on the cover of the device and then entering

the official emergency number. This can be done using the cover phone interface only, not the communicator interface.

If the device has been locked, enter the lock code to activate the phone function. When the device is locked, calls may

still be possible to the official emergency number.
Making an emergency call in offline profile or when the device is locked requires that the device recognizes the number

to be an official emergency number. It may be advisable to change the profile or unlock the device by entering the

lock code before you make the emergency call.

Lock code

your device.

Lock if SIM card is changed

device. The device maintains a list of SIM cards that are recognized as the owner's cards.
