4.5 Protecting your Phone
There are several levels of security on your phone. You can protect
your phone from unauthorized use by requiring a type of password
called a PIN (personal identification number) in order to make calls.
Your first PIN will be given to you by your wireless service provider.
Additionally, you can lock the keypad or the entire phone to prevent
unauthorized access.
