Device security

You can modify the security settings for the PIN code, automatic locking of the device, and changing of the SIM card. You can
also change the PIN code, PIN2 code, lock code, and barring password.
Avoid using codes that are similar to emergency numbers, such as 112, to prevent accidental dialling of the emergency
number.
Codes are shown as asterisks. When changing a code, enter the current code, and then the new code twice.

Defining device lock settings

Important: In offline profile you cannot make (or receive) any calls, or use other features that require GSM
network coverage. To make any calls, you must first activate the phone function by changing the profile. You may,
however, be able to make an emergency call in offline profile by pressing the power key on the cover of the device
and then entering the official emergency number. This can be done using the cover phone interface only, not the
communicator interface. If the device has been locked, enter the lock code to activate the phone function. When the
device is locked, calls may still be possible to the official emergency number.
Making an emergency call in offline profile or when the device is locked requires that the device recognizes the
number to be an official emergency number. It may be advisable to change the profile or unlock the device by
entering the lock code before you make the emergency call.
To define device lock settings, select
Define the following:
• Autolock period — You can set a time-out after which the device is automatically locked and can be used only if the correct
lock code is entered. When the device is locked, calls may still be possible to the official emergency number programmed
into your device. You can also answer incoming calls.
• Lock code — Press Change
avoid unauthorized use of your device, change the lock code. Keep the new code secret and in a safe place separate from
your device.
• Lock if SIM card is changed — You can set the device to ask for the lock code when an unknown SIM card is inserted into
your device. The device maintains a list of SIM cards that are recognized as the owner's cards.
• Allow remote locking — If you set this option to Yes, you can lock the device by sending a predefined text message from
another phone.
To create a remote locking message, select
lock code, and enter text for the remote locking message in the
remote locking message is case-sensitive and can be 5 to 20 characters or digits long. Press
for the changes to take effect.
Tip: If you use a memory card with no password, the memory card will be locked when you lock your device with
the remote locking message. To remove the memory card password, select
Menu, and select
password, and press Remove. If the remote locking message is longer than 8 characters, the first 8 characters of the
message are used as the memory card password.

Defining PIN code settings

To define PIN code settings, select
Define the following:
• PIN code request — If you set this option to On, the PIN code is requested each time the phone is switched on. Note that
this setting cannot be changed if the phone is switched off or if there is no valid SIM card inserted. Note also that some
SIM cards do not allow you to turn off the PIN code request.
• PIN code — Press Change
that PIN code request is selected, the device is on, and that there is a valid SIM card inserted.
• PIN2 code — Press Change
