Phone Lock
The phone lock protects the phone against unauthorized use if it is stolen. It is
not activated when you buy the phone. You can change the default security
code 0000 to any three- to eight-digit personalized code.
Warning! Do not use the emergency numbers 112 or 999 as your security
code. If you do, you will not be able to unlock the phone. Instead, a call will be
made to the emergency number.
The phone lock security code is also used to reset the phone (master reset).
The phone lock has two levels: Full Lock and Autolock.
