20. Phone Lock
The Phone Lock function allows you to prevent
unauthorized use of your phone in the event of a theft.
Emergency calls (112) can, however, be made
when the phone is locked.
There are two levels of locking the phone: Full lock and
Autolock.
Full lock:
If the full lock is enabled, the message ‘‘PHONE LOCK’’ is
displayed briefly, followed by the question ‘‘CODE?’’, each
time the phone is turned ON. The user then has to enter a
security code to be able to use the phone.
Auto lock:
If the autolock is enabled, the message ‘‘PHONE LOCK’’
and the question ‘‘CODE?’’, will not appear in the display
unless a different SIM has been inserted in the phone.
After the security code has been entered correctly, the phone
can be used with new SIM. Not until the original SIM or a
different SIM is inserted in the phone, will the user be
asked to enter the security code again.
Observe the following:
Your phone is factory-programmed with a 4-digit
security code of 0000. To improve security, you
should change this to any 3- to 8-digit personalized
code.
Should you forget your security code, contact an
authorized dealer. Be aware of that it, for security
reasons, might take same time to solve the
problem. You are, therefore, advised to select your
security code carefully. You can, for example, use
the same code as your PIN, or another code that you
will remember easily.
Changing your security code:
1.
Press M and then enter 20. ‘‘PHONE LOCK’’ is
displayed.
2.
Press any numeric key repeatedly until
‘‘CHG CODE’’ (Change Code) is displayed.
3.
Press S. ‘‘OLD?’’ is displayed.
4.
Enter the present security code and press S.
‘‘NEW?’’ is displayed.
5.
Enter the new 3- to 8-digit security code and press
S. ‘‘AGAIN?’’ is displayed.
6.
Enter the new security code again and press S.
If you entered the old code and the new code
correctly ‘‘NEW CODE’’ appears briefly. The
display then returns to normal.
If you entered any of the codes
incorrectly, a beep is heard and ‘‘ERROR’’ is
displayed briefly. The display then returns to normal.
