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, key in the appropriate code (displayed as
asterisks) and press the
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 (PIN
Unblocking Key) and PUK2 codes can be
changed using
Security
menu options (
Menu
4.6
). See page 79 for further details.
Important!
Avoid using access codes
resembling emergency numbers,
such as 112, so that you do not dial
an emergency number accidentally.

password to protect your phone against
unauthorised use. The phone password is
