Access Codes

There are several access codes that are used by your
phone and its SIM card. These codes help you protect
the phone against unauthorised use.
When requested for any of the codes explained below,
key in the appropriate code (displayed as asterisks) and
press the OK soft key. If you make a mistake, press the
C key one or more times until the incorrect digit is
cleared and then continue entering the correct code.
The access codes (except for the PUK and PUK2 codes)
can be changed using Security menu options. See
page 92 for further details.
Important! Avoid using access codes resembling
emergency numbers, such as 112, so that
you do not dial an emergency number
accidentally.
Phone Password
The Phone Lock feature uses the phone password to
protect your phone against unauthorised use. The phone
password is supplied with the phone and is factory set

PUK
The 8-digit PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) is required to

the SIM card. If not, or you have lost it, contact your
service provider.
To re-enable your PIN, proceed as follows.
1. Key in the PUK and press the OK soft key.
2. Enter a new PIN of your choice and press the OK soft
key.
3. When the Confirm New PIN message is displayed,
key in the same code again and press the OK soft key.
If you enter an incorrect PUK ten times in succession,
the SIM card becomes invalid. Contact your service
provider for a new card.
