02 SECURITY
The security features on your Vertu phone help
prevent unauthorised use of your phone and SIM
card.
S E C U R I T Y F E A T U R E S
You can activate and change some security
features yourself – these are "User codes". A user
code is a pre-defined number you have to key in at
specified times, for example after switching on your
Vertu phone.
Other security features require the assistance of
your service provider to be activated – these are
"Network services". Network service security
features allow you to restrict certain actions that
you have specified, for example international calls.
We recommend you activate both the security
code and PIN code to help prevent the
following:
Unauthorised use of your Vertu phone
>
when your SIM card is inserted.
Unauthorised use of your Vertu phone if a
>
different SIM card is inserted.
Unauthorised use of your SIM card in
>
another phone.
P I N C O D E R E Q U E S T
The PIN (Personal Identification Number) code is a
user code that helps protect your SIM card against
unauthorised use. When the PIN code function is
active, you need to key in the PIN code each time
you switch on your Vertu phone. The PIN code is
supplied with your SIM card or is available from
your service provider. If you used your SIM card in
another phone previously, the code will be the
same.
The default setting for the PIN code function is
defined by your service provider. Some service
providers do not allow you to disable the PIN code
request.
The SIM card becomes blocked if you key in
an incorrect PIN code three times in
succession.
Key in the PUK code if you have blocked your
SIM card.
PUK codes cannot be changed. If you key in
an incorrect PUK code 10 times in succession
your SIM card becomes permanently blocked.
To obtain a PUK code contact your service
provider.
