4.5 Protecting Your Phone

You can protect your phone from unauthorized use by requiring a PIN (personal identification number) to make calls. Your default PIN is 1234. Additionally, you can also lock the entire phone.

To enable the SIM PIN

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

2.Enter the PIN and then select Done.

Note To cancel without enabling the SIM PIN, press HOME.

To disable the SIM PIN

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

2.Enter the PIN and then select Done.

To change the SIM PIN

Be sure to write down your 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 then 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:

Pressing and holding for about 2 seconds (must not be in a text box).

Pressing and holding the HOME key to open the Quick list and then selecting Lock.

If the Manual Lock option is enabled in Settings, you will be prompted to lock the phone when you close the keyboard.
