your phone and its SIM card. These codes help you
protect the phone against unauthorized use.

OK soft key. If you make a
mistake, press the key until the incorrect digit
is cleared and then continue entering the correct

codes can be changed using
Security menu
options ( Menu 6.6). See page 91 for further
details.
Important! Avoid using access codes resembling
emergency numbers, such as 911, so
that you do not dial an emergency
number accidentally.

PIN
The Personal Identification Number or PIN (4 to
8 digits) protects your SIM card against unauthorized
use. It is usually supplied with the SIM card.
If you enter an incorrect PIN three times in
succession, the code is disabled and cannot be used
until you re-enable it by entering the PUK (see
below).
PUK
The 8-digit PUK ( PIN Unblocking Key) is required to
change a disabled PIN. The PUK may be supplied
with the SIM card. If not, or you have lost it,
contact your service provider.
To re-enable your PIN:
1. Key in the PUK and press the OK soft key.
2. Enter a new PIN of your choice and press the
OK soft key.
3. When the Confirm New PIN message is
displayed, key in the same code again and press
the
OK soft key.
If you enter an incorrect PUK ten times in
succession, the SIM card becomes invalid. Contact
your service provider for a new card.
