Nokia 8270 warranty Change Your Security Code, Protect Your Phone with Phone Lock

Security

13) Security

A security code, a phone lock feature, and a call restriction feature prevent unauthorized use of your phone. A keypad lock prevents unintended key presses, such as when your phone is in your purse or pocket.

• CHANGE YOUR SECURITY CODE

Important: The default security code is 12345. Nokia highly recommends that you immediately change this code, write down the new code, and store it in a safe place, away from your phone. You cannot activate or use certain phone features until you successfully enter your security code.

When you enter your security code, an asterisk (*) appears on the screen each time you press a number key, preventing others from seeing your code. If you enter the wrong code five times in a row, your phone won’t accept any entries for the next 5 minutes.

1Press Menu 4 - 3 - 2 - 4 (Settings > Security settings > Access codes > Change security code).

2Enter the security code. (The default code is 12345.) Press OK.

3Enter a new code (minimum of five numbers). To prevent accidental emergency calls, don’t pick a code that is similar to an emergency number. Press OK.

4To verify your new security code, enter it again. Press OK. The message Security code changed appears. Store your new code in a safe place, away from your phone.

•PROTECT YOUR PHONE WITH PHONE LOCK

You can lock your phone to prevent others from using it. When someone tries to use it, they will be required to enter a lock code.

Tip: If you save an unlocked phone number, you can make calls to that number without entering the lock code.
