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.

Unlock the modem (page 36).

When the modem is locked, you cannot:

Make data connections (the Connect button is unavailable).
