To disable the SIM PIN

1.On the Home screen, select Start > Settings > Security > Disable SIM PIN.

2.Enter the PIN, and select Done.

To change the SIM PIN

Be sure to make a note of your personal identification number (PIN). When the SIM PIN is enabled, you must provide this PIN to unlock the phone.

1.Select Start > Settings > Security > Change SIM PIN.

2.In Old PIN, enter the current PIN.

3.Enter and confirm the new PIN, and select Done.

To lock the phone

Locking the phone turns off its functionality. This is a helpful feature if, for example, the phone is turned on and in your pocket, and you want to prevent accidental keypresses. Once the phone is locked, the left SOFT KEY label changes to Unlock.

You can lock the phone by:

Press and hold for about 2 seconds.

Close the keyboard, then select Yes.

Note The Manual lock option must be enabled. See "To set keyboard lock options" for details.

Press and hold the HOME key to open the Quick list, then select Lock.
