Access Codes
34
If you enter an incorrect PIN three times in succession, the code is disabled
and cannot be used until you re-enable it by entering the PUK (see below).
PUK
The 8-digit PUK (PIN Unblocking Key) is required to change a disabled
PIN. The PUK may be supplied with the SIM card. If not, or you have lost it,
contact your service provider.
To re-enable your PIN:
1. Enter the PUK and press the
OK
soft key.
2. Enter a new PIN of your choice and press the
OK
soft key.
3. When the
Confirm New PIN
message displays, enter the same code
again and press the
OK
soft key.
If you enter an incorrect PUK ten times in succession, the SIM card
becomes invalid. Contact your service provider for a new card.
PIN2
The PIN2 (4 to 8 digits), supplied with some SIM cards, is required to
access specific functions, such as setting the maximum cost of a call.
These functions are available if supported by your SIM card.
If you enter an incorrect PIN2 three times in succession, the code is
disabled and you cannot access the functions until you re-enable it by
entering the PUK2.
