Locking your phone

Locking your phone prevents access to personal data.
When you enable this feature, your phone will automati-
cally lock after a specified time of inactivity. A screen will be
displayed requiring your phone lock password before access
is granted. You can still receive calls and make emergency
calls when the phone is locked.

NOTE: If you forget your password, there is a way to re-
gain access to your phone, but you will lose all programs
you installed. First, turn off your phone. Then press and
hold down the Left Softkey ("Softkey 1"), the Right Softkey
("Softkey 2"), and the Power button, all at the same time.
Continue to hold them down until a message appears and
asks you if want to clear the memory. If you select Yes,
all programs you installed yourself will be lost, but you will
regain control of your phone. (If you had previously syn-
chronized with a PC, you can then get the lost programs
back easily by synchronizing with it again.)
