Unlocking the communicator

After the communicator has been locked, it can- not be used until the correct lock code is given. Incoming voice calls can, however, be answered via the phone interface.

Note: When the communicator is locked, it may be possible to make a call via the phone interface to the emergency number pro- grammed into your phone (e.g., 911 or other official emergency number).

Press Settings in the Security main view to see the security settings list (Figure 10-2):

The value of the current setting is shown next to the item (except that the codes are shown as asterisks, *). These items can be adjusted by pressing Change (see the following sections).

Pressing Close will close the security settings view and return to the Security main view.

To change the security settings:

•Select the setting and press Change.

‚If you are prompted for a code, enter it and press OK.

ƒChoose a new value.

If you are changing a code, you will be prompted for the current code and then the new code twice. The code cannot be changed if the respec- tive security feature is not in use.

Note: Avoid using codes that are similar to emergency numbers to prevent acciden- tal dialing of the emergency number.

PIN code request — On (default) / Off

If you set the PIN (Personal Identity Number) code request on, the system requests the code every time the phone interface is turned on (by pressing ). You can also turn the PIN code request on or off in the phone inter- face Security options menu (Menu 5 1). This setting cannot be changed if the phone inter- face is switched off.

Note: Some SIM cards do not allow you to turn the PIN code request off.

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).
