Defining device lock settings

Important: In the offline profile you cannot make
or receive any calls, or use other features that require GSM
network coverage. To make calls, you must first activate
the phone function by changing profiles. 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 be possible to the
official emergency number.
Making an emergency call in the offline profile or when
the device is locked requires that the device recognize the
number to be an official emergency number. It is
advisable to change the profile or unlock the device by
entering the lock code before you make the emergency
call.
