Lock Phone - Samsung SGH-A997 User Manual

Security
The Security feature enables you to restrict the use of your
phone by the others and to restrict the types of calls. Various
codes and passwords are used to protect the features of your
phone.
The following options are available.

Lock Phone

The Lock Phone feature helps to protect your phone against
unauthorized use. When the Lock Phone feature is enabled,
the phone is locked and you must enter the 4- to 8-digit
phone password each time the phone is powered on.
Note: You will be prompted to create a password the first time
this feature is enabled.
To change the phone password, see "Change Phone
Password" on page 130. Once you enter the correct
password, you can use the phone until you switch it off. The
following options are available:
–
On: You are required to enter the phone password when you
switch on the phone.
–
Off: You are not asked to enter the phone password when you
switch on the phone.
Lock SIM Card
When the Lock SIM Card feature is enabled, your phone only
works with the current SIM. You must enter the lock code to
unlock the SIM so you can use a different SIM card. Once you
enter the lock code, you are asked to confirm your password.
Reenter your password and press Confirm.
Note: This lock code is typically the last four digits of the
current phone number or can be obtained from an AT&T
customer service representative.
Check PIN Code
•
When the Check PIN Code feature is enabled, you must enter
your PIN (Personal Identification Number) each time you switch on
the phone. Consequently, any person who does not have your PIN
cannot use your phone without your approval. The PIN is usually
supplied with the SIM card.
The following options are available:
–
On: You must enter the PIN each time the phone is switched on.
–
Off: The phone connects directly to the network when you
switch it on.
