12 Manage phone security

Your phone has a versatile security system that is intended to prevent unauthorized use of the phone.

You cannot activate or use certain phone features without having first successfully entered your phone’s security code.

•The default (preset) security code is 12345.

•Nokia highly recommends that you immediately change this code. Then, write down and store the new code in a safe place, away from your phone.

TIPS

•When you enter the security code, a * appears on the screen each time you press a key. The * prevents others from seeing your code.

•If you enter the wrong security code five times in a row, your phone won’t accept any entries for the next five minutes. However, if you realize that you’ve entered the code incorrectly before pressing OK, use Clear to erase the code, digit by digit.

• CHANGE YOUR SECURITY CODE

It’s a good idea to change your security code so that others who know the default code cannot enter the correct code.

1Press Menu 4-5-2-1 (Menu > Settings > Security settings > Access codes > Change security code). The Security code box appears.

2Enter the default security code and press OK.

3At the message Enter new security code, enter your new security code and press OK.

4At the message Verify new security code, enter your new security code again and press OK. The message Security code changed appears.

If you have changed your security code and don’t remember the new code, contact your service provider. Once you have changed your security code, the default setting is no longer valid.
