Code Memo - Ericsson R320s User Manual

Code Memo

Today there is an ever-increasing number of security codes connected to our
credit cards, our home, our work etc. Usually, they all have different security
codes. The more cards you have, the harder it is to remember all the codes.
This problem has been eliminated thanks to the code memo function in your
phone.
The big advantage with the code memo is that, instead of remembering all
your different codes, you only have to remember the password that you use to
open the code memo. When you have entered the correct password, all your
codes are then displayed in your phone.
Checkword and Security
Using the Check Word Function
In order for you to know you have entered the correct password in the code
memo, you can also store a checkword. This checkword serves as a
confirmation that the password is correct. When you open the code memo and
enter your password, the checkword is displayed for a short time.
If the password is correct, then the displayed codes are correct. If not, the
wrong checkword is displayed followed by the wrong codes. This is to
prevent unauthorized people from accessing your codes.
We recommend that you use a checkword that is only meaningful to you.
Note! Be sure to remember the entered password and checkword. Ericsson
cannot read your encrypted codes, so if you forget your password you need to
type any password at all (which will not display the right codes), open the
code memo and delete all the existing codes. Then you have to enter your
codes again.
Factors Strengthening Code Memo Security
• You get no feedback telling you whether the password is right or wrong,
except for the checkword - but only you know what that word is.
• All codes are encrypted in the mobile phone.
• When you have accessed your codes, they are displayed for only a limited
time. This way another person can not see your codes if you leave the
phone behind or if someone steals your phone.
