Turning your handset on

Ensure that your SIM card is in your handset and the

battery is charged. Press and hold the key until power is on. Enter the SIM PIN code that was supplied with your SIM card if PIN code setting is on. After a few seconds you will be registered on the network.

Turning your handset off

Press and hold the key until power is off. There may be a few seconds delay while the handset powers down.

Do not re-power the handset during this time.

Access codes

You can use the access codes described in this section to avoid unauthorized use of your phone. The access codes (except PUK and PUK2 codes) can be changed by using the Change codes feature [Menu 7.7.5].

PIN code (4 to 8 digits)

The PIN (Personal Identification Number) code protects your SIM card against unauthorized use. The PIN code is usually supplied with the SIM card. When the PIN Code Request is set to Enable, your phone will request the PIN code every time it is switched on. When the PIN Code Request is set to Disable, your phone connects to the network directly without the PIN code.

PIN2 code (4 to 8 digits)

The PIN2 code, supplied with some SIM cards, is required to access functions such as Fixed Dial Number. These functions are only available if supported by your SIM card.

PUK code (4 to 8 digits)

The PUK (PIN Unblocking Key) code is required to unlock a blocked PIN code. The PUK code may be supplied with the SIM card. If not, contact your network operator’s customer service for the code. If you lose the code, contact your network operator’s customer service.
