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 103 and “Security keyguard” on
page 103.
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.
