Phone security

6 Phone security

An array of security features prevents accidental calls, allows you to restrict the

calls your phone can make and receive, and keeps your stored information safe.

•KEYGUARD

With keyguard, you can lock the keypad to prevent keys from being pressed

accidentally. With Security keyguard, you can require the security code to unlock

the keypad. See

“Automatic keyguard” on page 96 and “Security keyguard” on

page 96.

If the keypad is locked, it unlocks when you receive a call. After the call, the lock

automatically reactivates.

Lock the keypad

At the start screen, select Menu > * key.

Unlock the keypad

1 At the start screen, select Unlock > * key.

2 If Security keyguard is on, enter the security code at the prompt, and select OK.

When keyguard is on, calls may be possible to emergency numbers programmed

into your phone (for example, 911). Enter the emergency number and press the Talk

key. The number appears in the display after you have keyed in the last digit.

•PIN CODE REQUEST

The PIN code provides extra security in case your phone is lost or stolen. The PIN

code must be obtained from your service provider. It is typically provided with your

SIM card.

The PIN code can be 4–8 digits in length.

You can set your phone to request the PIN code upon power-up. After three

successive incorrect entries the PIN code is blocked and you are asked to enter the

personal unblocking key (PUK) code. Some SIM cards do not allow you to turn the

PIN code request off.

1 From the menus, select Settings > Security settings > PIN code request.

2 At the prompt, enter the PIN code, and select OK.

3 Scroll to On, and select OK.

A message appears in the display confirming your selection.
