Two levels of locking
There are two levels of locking the phone:
●Full Lock
●Autolock
When the Full Lock is activated, the message Phone locked is displayed briefly, followed by the prompt Enter lock code, each time the phone is turned on. The user then has to enter the security code, followed by #, to be able to use the phone.
When the Autolock is activated, the message Phone locked and the prompt Enter lock code will not appear until a different SIM card is inserted in the phone. After the security code has been entered correctly, the phone can be used with new SIM card. Not until the original or a different SIM card is inserted in the phone, will the user again be asked to enter the security code.
How to lock the phone is described in chapter 11. The ACCESS Menu.
Phone Lock
The phone lock protects the phone against unauthorised use of the phone in the event of a theft.
The phone lock is not activated when you purchase the phone. You should, however, activate it as soon as possible.

You can lock the keypad so that unintentional key action has no effect if the phone is turned on when you are carrying it in a pocket or a handbag. This function is useful if you have a phone without keypad protect flip.
How to lock and unlock the keypad is described in chapter 15. The KEYLOCK Menu.
