Lock Phone
Locking the phone limits all outgoing calls except calls to 911
emergency and the three user-programmable emergency
numbers. You can lock the phone manually during use, or set the
phone to lock automatically when it is turned on. With the phone
in lock mode, you can answer incoming calls, but you must
unlock the phone to place outgoing calls (except to emergency
and secret numbers).
1. In standby mode, press Menu ➔ Settings ➔ Phone
Settings ➔ Security ➔ Lock Phone.
2. Select a Device Lock Mode option:
• Lock: Locks the phone immediately. (The phone stays locked until
you enter the lock code.)
• Unlock: Unlocks the phone.
• On Power up: The phone locks automatically the next time your
phone is powered on. (The phone stays locked until you enter the
lock code.)
Change Lock
The default lock code for your phone is generally the last four
digits of your phone number. It is advisable to change the default
lock code to a secret code for security purposes.
1. In standby mode, press Menu ➔ Settings ➔ Phone
Settings ➔ Security ➔ Change Lock. You’re prompted to
enter the new lock code.
2. Enter the new lock code. You’re prompted to re-enter the
new lock code for verification.
3. Enter the new lock code again. Your changes are stored.
Note: Your phone does not allow you to view the lock code for obvious
security reasons. If you change the lock code, be sure to write down or
memorize the new code.
Emergency #
Your phone provides the option of storing three emergency
numbers. Each number can be up to 32 digits in length. All
emergency numbers can be manually called at any time, even
when your phone is locked or restricted. This can be a useful
feature for controlling outgoing calls from your phone.
Important!: DO NOT depend on this phone as a primary method of calling
911 or for any other essential or emergency communications.
Remember to always turn your phone on and check for adequate
signal strength before placing a call.
Important!: Because of various transmission methods, network parameters,
and user settings necessary to complete a call from your
wireless phone, a connection cannot always be guaranteed.
Therefore, emergency calling may not be available on all
wireless networks at all times.
