13.7 Protecting Your Phone

Protecting your SIM card with a PIN
You can protect your SIM card by requiring a PIN (personal identification number)
every time the phone is turned on. You will not be able to use the Phone dialer or
the data connection until you enter the correct PIN.
To enable the SIM card PIN
1. On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap
Communications.
2. On the Comm Manager screen, tap Phone to open the Phone Settings
screen.
3. Tap PIN Code.
4. Enter the PIN, tap OK, and then tap OK on the message box.
Tips • To change the PIN, tap Change PIN on the Phone Settings screen.

Protecting your phone with a password
You can help keep your data more secure by requiring a password every time the
phone is turned on.
To set a password
1. Tap Start > Settings > Lock.
2. Select the Prompt if phone unused for check box, and then specify the idle
time before the phone requires a password. If you choose 0 Minutes, you will
need to input the password every time you wake the phone up from Sleep
mode. For more information, see "Switching to Sleep mode" in Chapter 1.
3. In the Password type box, select the type of password you would like to use.
Tip
Emergency calls can be placed at any time, without requiring a PIN.
If your phone is configured to connect to a network, use an alphanumeric
password for increased security.
