4.5 Protecting Your Phone

You can protect your phone from unauthorized use by requiring a PIN (personal

identification number) in order to make calls. Your default PIN is 1234. Additionally,

you can also lock the keypad/keyboard or the entire phone.

To enable the SIM PIN

On the Home screen, select Start > Settings > Security > Enable SIM PIN.
Enter your PIN, and select Done.

Note

To cancel without enabling the SIM PIN, select Cancel.

To disable the SIM PIN

On the Home screen, select Start > Settings > Security > Disable SIM PIN.
Enter your PIN, and select Done.

To change the SIM PIN

Be sure to write down your PIN. When the SIM PIN is enabled, you must provide this

PIN to unlock the phone.

Select Start > Settings > Security > Change SIM PIN.
In Old PIN, enter the current PIN.
Enter and confirm the new PIN, and select Done.

To lock the keyboard

Locking the keyboard turns off its functionality. This is a helpful feature if, for

example, the phone is turned on and in your pocket, and you want to prevent

accidental keypresses.
On the Home screen, press and hold for about 3 seconds. Once the keyboard is

locked, the left SOFT KEY label changes to Unlock.
