Lock Phone

Locking the phone limits all outgoing calls except calls to 911 emergency and the three user-programmable emergency numbers. You can lock the phone manually during use, or set the phone to lock automatically when it is turned on. With the phone in lock mode, you can answer incoming calls, but you must unlock the phone to place outgoing calls (except to emergency and secret numbers).

1.At the Security sub-menu, select Lock Phone. The following Device Lock Mode options appear in the display:

Lock — Locks the phone immediately. (The phone stays locked until you enter the lock code.)

Unlock — Unlocks the phone.

On Power up — The phone locks automatically the next time your phone is powered on. (The phone stays locked until you enter the lock code.)

2.Select the Device Lock Mode option of your choice.

Change Lock

The default lock code for your phone is generally the last four digits of your phone number. It is advisable to change the default lock code to a secret code for security purposes.

1.At the Security sub-menu, select Change Lock. You’re prompted to enter the new lock code.

2.Enter the new lock code. You’re prompted to re-enter the new lock code for verification.

3.Enter the new lock code again. Your changes are stored.

Note: Your phone does not allow you to view the lock code for obvious security reasons. If you change the lock code, be sure to write down or memorize the new code.

Emergency #

Your phone provides the option of storing three emergency numbers. Each number can be up to 32 digits in length. All emergency numbers can be manually called at any time, even when your phone is locked or restricted. This can be a useful feature for controlling outgoing calls from your phone.

Note: Emergency number 911 is hard-coded into your phone. You can dial this number any time, even when the phone is locked or restricted. If you call 911 an audible tone is heard and an Emergency prompt appears in the display for the duration of the call.

Important!: Because of various transmission methods, network parameters, and user settings necessary to complete a call from your wireless phone, a connection cannot always be guaranteed. Therefore, emergency calling may not be available on all wireless networks at all times.
