Security Settings; Changing Pins; Changing Pin Code; Changing Pin 2 Code - NEC A232 Manual

Security Settings

The Security Settings allows the user to lock the handset to protect your phone from improper use and prevent unauthorized users from accessing phone functions. The PIN
codes, security codes, and password codes are 4 to 8 digit numbers. While the handset is locked, you cannot access any tools or information stored in the phone until a 4-8
digit security code is correctly entered.

Changing PINS

PIN and PIN 2 codes are provided by your network service provider. The security code is user defined and may be changed at any time. The default security code is '0000'
until you change it. Once the security code is changed, the default code is no longer valid.

Changing PIN Code

Your phone can be set up so it needs your PIN code entered when powering On, before the phone can be used at all. If the PIN code is not entered, received calls can not be
answered. If you input your PIN code incorrectly more than three times (not necessarily in the same session) not even the correct PIN code works and you will have to
contact your service provider for a code to unblock your SIM card.
To change the PIN, the SIM PIN lock on page 49 must be set to On for PIN change to be enabled.

Changing PIN 2 Code

If the PIN 2 code is entered incorrectly 3 times, you will need to contact your service provider for assistance.
