Access codes
There are several access codes that are used by
your phone and its SIM card. These codes help you
protect the phone against unauthorised use.
When requested for any of the codes explained
below, enter the appropriate code (displayed as
asterisks) and press the key or OK soft key. If
you make a mistake, press the C key one or more
times until the incorrect digit is cleared and then
continue entering the correct code.
The access codes, except for the PUK and PUK2
codes, can be changed using the Security menu.
See page 169 for further details.
Important! Avoid using access codes resembling
emergency numbers, such as 112, so
that you do not accidentally dial an
emergency number.
Phone password
The Phone lock feature uses the phone password to
protect your phone against unauthorised use. The
phone password is supplied with the phone and is
preset to “00000000” at the factory.

PIN
The Personal Identification Number or PIN (4 to
8 digits) protects your SIM card against
unauthorised use. It is usually supplied with the
SIM card.
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 key or OK soft
key.
2. Enter a new PIN of your choice and press the
key or OK soft key.
3. When the Confirm new PIN message displays,
enter the same code again and press the key
or 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.
