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.
At the
Security
sub-menu, select
Lock Phone
. The
following Device Lock Mode options appear in the display:
• 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.)
2.
Select the Device Lock Mode option of your choice.
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.
At the
Security
sub-menu, select
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.
Note:
Emergency number 911 is hard-coded into your phone. You can dial
this number any time, even when the phone is locked or restricted. If
you call 911 an audible tone is heard and an Emergency prompt
appears in the display for the duration of the 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.
