Date and time

The date and time settings allow you to define the date and time used in your game
deck, as well as change the date and time format and separators. Choose Clock
type > analog or Digital to change the clock shown in the standby mode. Choose
Auto time update if you want the mobile phone network to update time, date, and
time zone information to your game deck (network service). You must restart your
game deck for Auto Time Update settings to take effect.

Device and SIM

Explanations for the different security codes that may be needed:
PIN code (4–8 digits)—The PIN code protects your SIM card against unauthorized
use. The PIN code is usually supplied with the SIM card.
After three consecutive incorrect PIN code entries, the PIN code is blocked. If
the PIN code is blocked, you need to unblock the PIN code before you can use
the SIM card again. See the information about the PUK code.
PIN2 code (4–8 digits)—The PIN2 code, supplied with some SIM cards, is required
to access some functions, such as call cost counters.
Lock code (5 digits)—The lock code can be used to lock the game deck and keypad
to avoid unauthorized use.
Note: The factory setting for the lock code is 12345. To avoid
unauthorized use of your game deck, change the lock code. Keep the new
code secret and in a safe place separate from your game deck.
PUK and PUK2 codes (8 digits)—The PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) code is
required to change a blocked PIN code. The PUK2 code is required to change a
blocked PIN2 code. If the codes are not supplied with the SIM card, contact the
operator whose SIM card is in your game deck for the codes.
You can change the lock code, PIN code, and PIN2 code. These codes can only
include numbers, 0–9.
Note: Avoid using access codes similar to emergency numbers, such as
911.
