SIM PIN Programming

The mini-SIM may require entry of a Personal Identification Number (PIN). The PIN is a four- to eight-digit number provided with the SIM card. If the service provider has set the SIM to require PIN entry, the Phonecell will request the PIN each time it is powered ON or the SIM is removed and replaced. The PIN can be stored within the Phonecell for automatic entry when required. To use the auto- matic PIN entry feature, the PIN must be correctly programmed and automatic PIN entry must be enabled.

If PIN entry is requested while automatic PIN entry is disabled, the Phonecell SX4D emits a non-registered service tone. The SIM PIN can be manually entered at that time:

Press: <4-digit SIM number> #

If entry is successful, the non-registered service tone will be replaced by service dial tone.

IMPORTANT!

You must enter the PIN correctly. After three attempts to load an incorrect PIN, the SIM will be blocked and the SIM card will have to be unblocked. If you do not have the unblocking key, the SIM will have to be returned to the service provider for reactivation. See How to Unblock a SIM PIN to unblock a SIM card.

How to Set a New PIN in the SIM

REMINDER: Automatic PIN entry must be disabled - before and while the SIM PIN is changed - until programming of the new PIN and Auto PIN Entry (see previous page) is completed.

1)Lift up the handset (take off-hook).

2)Press: * * 04 * < old_PIN> * <new PIN> * <new PIN> #

NOTE: You must know the old PIN to change it and the new PIN must be 4 to 8 digits (0 − 9) in length.

3)Incorrect entry of the old PIN will be indicated by a short, three tone sequence of rising frequencies. Hang up the handset and start over at step 1 with the cor- rect old PIN.

Incorrect length (less than 4 or more than 8 digits) of the new PIN or not enter- ing the same value in both new PIN entries will result in silence. Hang up the telephone handset and start over at step1.

Correct entry will be confirmed by a short beep. Hang up the handset.

For Example: To set up a new SIM with PIN "5678", where the old PIN is

“1234,” dial: * * 04 * 1 2 3 4 * 5 6 7 8 * 5 6 7 8 #

NOTE: In case of PIN2, substitute the following step 2:

SX4D GSM 900 • SX4D GSM 1800
