SECURITY LEVELS

The security level determines your access to features when a nonowner SIM card is used. A nonowner SIM card is one (other than the original) that is inserted after you power off the phone. There are three security levels:

Off—Owner and Nonowner cards are treated the same.

Memory—Nonowner cards can access SIM memory. Any changes to the memory setting requires the security code. The owner card has access to all features, but the security code is required to change a memory setting.

Phone—The security code is required upon power-up.

Use this procedure to set your security level.

1Select Menu > Settings > Security settings > Security level.

After a brief pause, you are prompted to enter the security code. The default code is 12345.

2Enter the security code, select OK, then select either Off, Memory, or Phone.
