IMPORTANT! If you enter the PIN code incor- rectly three times in a row, you will need a PUK (PIN Unblocking Key) code to unblock the SIM card. When the SIM card is blocked, you can- not make or receive any calls (including faxes, short messages, e-mail, etc.), except emergen- cy calls. Otherwise, the communicator can be used normally. If you misplace or forget your PIN code, contact your network operator.
Autolock period — Autolock off (default) / 1 / 2 / 5 / 10 / 15 minutes
This setting determines the security time-out period, after which the system will lock. The timer is reset by any input, calls or data transfer/printing activity.
SIM change security – On / Off (default) When active, this security option checks whether the SIM card in the communicator has been changed. The check is made every time the phone interface is switched on. The SIM change security option can also be acti- vated in the phone interface Security options menu (Menu 5 2).
If the SIM card has been changed and the new SIM card has not previously been used with your communicator, the communicator locks itself until the lock code, supplied with the communicator sales package, is correctly entered. The communi-cator recognizes five different SIM cards as the owner’s cards.
