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.

To enable the SIM personal identification number (PIN)

1.On the Home screen, click Start > Settings > Security.

2.Click Enable SIM PIN.

3.Enter your PIN and click Done.

Note To cancel without enabling the SIM PIN, click Cancel.

To disable the SIM PIN

1.On the Home screen, click Start > Settings > Security.

2.Click Disable SIM PIN.

3.Enter your PIN and click 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.Click Start > Settings > Security.

2.Click Change PIN2.

3.In Old PIN, enter the current PIN.

4.Enter and confirm the new PIN and click Done.

Lock the keypad

Locking the keypad turns off keypad functionality. This is a helpful feature to prevent, for example, the phone turning itself on in your pocket and making accidental key presses.
