Phone Lock (PIN)
The phone lock protects the phone against unauthorized use of the phone
if there is a theft. The phone lock is not activated when you buy the phone.
The phone Personal Identification Number (PIN) will be set to 0000.
If the phone PIN is enabled, when you switch on the phone, the message
‘
Phone PIN Enabled
’ will be displayed. It is strongly recommended that
you enable the Phone PIN. If you do not like the original number we
recommend that you change it to one you find easy to remember.
It is important that you remember the phone PIN. Please make a note of
it somewhere safe, not on the SIM or the phone.
The phone PIN can only be changed when the MASTER SIM is inserted,
(the SIM fitted when the phone PIN was first enabled). If a different SIM
is used, the message ‘
Request Rejected
’ will be given.
