Access codes

You can use the access codes
described in this section to avoid
unauthorised use of your phone and
SIM card.
The access codes (except PUK and
PUK2 codes) can be changed by
using Menu 4-8-6. See the following
section.

Security code (5 digits)

The security code can be used to
avoid unauthorised use of your
phone. The security code 12345 is
usually supplied with the phone.
Change the security code before you
start using your phone. Keep the
new code secret and in a safe place,
which is separate from the phone.
If you key in an incorrect security
code five times in succession, the
phone will not accept the correct
code for the next five minutes.

PIN code (4 to 8 digits)

The PIN (Personal Identification
Number) code protects your SIM
card against unauthorised use. The
PIN code is usually supplied with the
SIM card. When the PIN code
request is enabled (Menu 4-8-1), the
code is asked each time the phone is
switched on.

PUK code and press OK. Key in a new
PIN code and press OK. Key in the
new code again and press OK.

PIN2 code (4 to 8 digits)

The PIN2 code, supplied with some
SIM cards, is required to access some
functions, such as charging unit
counters. These functions are only
available if supported by your SIM
card.

three times in succession, key in the
PUK2 code and press OK. Key in a
new PIN2 code and press OK. Key in
the new code again and press OK.

PUK code (8 digits)

The PUK (Personal Unblocking Key)
code is required to change a blocked
PIN code. The PUK code may be
supplied with the SIM card. If not,
contact your local service provider
for the code.
If you key in an incorrect PUK code
ten times in succession, the SIM card
cannot be used anymore. Contact
your service provider for a new card.
You cannot change the PUK code. If
you lose the code, contact your
service provider.
