The following section describes various security codes used on your phone.

PIN code (4 to 8 digits)

The PIN (Personal Identification Number) code protects your SIM card against unauthorized use. The PIN code is usually supplied with the SIM card. If you input the incorrect PIN code entry three times in a row, the PIN code will be blocked. If the PIN1 code is blocked, you need the PUK 1 code to unblock before you can use the SIM card again. See information on the PUK code.

PIN2 code (4 to 8 digits)

The PIN2 code, supplied with some SIM cards, is required to access some functions, such as call cost counters.

Lock code

The lock code can be used to lock the phone and keypad to avoid unauthorized use.

NOTE: The factory setting for the lock code is 1234. To avoid unauthorized use of your phone, change the lock code. Keep

the new code secret and in a safe place separate from your phone.

Access codes

PUK and PUK2 codes (8 digits)

The PUK1 (Personal Unblocking Key) code is required to unblock a blocked PIN1 code. The PUK2 code is required to unblock a blocked PIN2 code. If the codes are not supplied with the SIM card, contact the operator whose SIM card is in your phone for the codes. You can change the following codes: lock code, PIN code, and PIN2 code. These codes can include the numbers from 0 to 9 only.

NOTE: Avoid using access codes similar to the emergency numbers, such as 112, to prevent accidental dialling of the emergency number.

Call Barring Password (4 digits)

The call barring password is required when you use the Call Barring function. You obtain the password from your service provider when you subscribe to this function. You can change this password using the Call barring menu option. (For further details, see Security Settings on page 78.)
