handset PIN code” on page 24.

Resetting the handset PIN code

If your handset is blocked because an incorrect PIN code has been entered
three times. Press

Y E S

. You will see Backdoor: in your display. Enter the IPEI

code (see “Showing the IPEI code” on page 23) to unblock the handset.

If the handset is locked, you can still make an emergency call without first
unblocking the handset PIN code. See “Making an emergency call” on
page 13
.

Showing the IPEI code

You may need the International Portable part Equipment Identity (IPEI)
number of your handset to reset the handset PIN code when the handset is
blocked. The IPEI code is a unique code which has been assigned to the hand-
set. The IPEI code can be found on the handset packaging or in the handset’s
menu and should be written down in the space provided in the “IPEI code
handset” on page 24
.

Note

Contact your dealer if you can’t retrieve your IPEI code.

Changing the base station PIN code

Vital settings on the base station are secured by a PIN code to prevent access
by unauthorized people. Each time you want to change these base station set-
tings, you must enter the PIN code. You cannot switch off this security feature
but you can change the base station PIN code with your handset. For the base
station PIN code see “Overview of PIN and other codes” below.

You can write the new PIN code in the space provided in “Personal base sta-
tion PIN code”
below.

Resetting the base station PIN code

If you enter an incorrect base station PIN code three times in a row, the PIN
code is invalidated. Although you can still make and receive calls, you can no
longer alter the base station’s settings. After entering the PARI code, the base
station PIN code is reset to the default code (1111).

Overview of PIN and other codes

The handset and base station use several identification codes for security rea-
sons. The table below gives an overview of these codes.
