Enabling The Phone Lock - Huawei C2828 User Manual

10 Enabling the Phone Lock

The phone lock protects your phone from unauthorized use. By
default, the phone lock is disabled.
You can select Menu > Settings > Security Settings > Phone
Lock to enable the phone lock with the following options:
Immediate: to enable the phone lock immediately.
Power On: to enable the phone lock when the phone is
powered on next time.
When you enable the phone lock, you are prompted to enter
the phone lock code. The default phone lock code is 000000.
You can change the code to any numeric string of four to eight
digits.
11 PIN and PUK
Note
Consult your network operator for whether a User Identity
Module (UIM) card is required on the phone.
The personal identification number (PIN) protects your UIM
card from unauthorized use. The PIN Unlock Key (PUK) is used
to unlock the blocked PIN.
If you enter wrong PINs three times consecutively, the phone
prompts you to enter the PUK. If you enter wrong PUKs 10
times consecutively, the UIM card becomes permanently
invalid. In this case, contact your network operator for a new
UIM card.
The PIN and the PUK are provided with your UIM card. For
details, contact your network operator.
