The Card Lock

your SIM card, you obtain a PIN (Personal Identity
Number).
Every time you turn the phone on, you have to enter
your PIN and then press
feature off (see below).
If you enter your PIN incorrectly three times in a row,
the SIM card will be blocked. This is indicated by the
message 'Card blocked Unblock?'. If this happens, see
'If Your SIM Card Is Blocked' below.
Note!
If your PIN starts with the same digits as the inter-

PIN.
