Security Codes
Use of your SIM card is controlled by
the PIN (Personal Identification
Number) you received from your serv-
ice provider.
A super pin (PUK) is also provided for
unlocking the SIM card after the third
incorrect PIN entry.
The phone is protected by the
phone code (4 - 8 characters in length)
which you enter with the first security
setting.
PIN Setup
PIN Control
The PIN must be entered each time
the phone is switched on. This PIN
control can be deactivated. The SIM
card is then no longer protected
against misuse by unauthorized per-
sons. As a result, some SIM cards do
not support PIN control deactivation.

entries (your network provider
may charge for unlocking).

always be made.
