Q.12 Making your Device More Secure
There are two kinds of security on your device. You can protect your phone from
unauthorized use by assigning a type of password called a PIN (personal identification
number). Additionally, you can prevent unauthorized access to any part of the device by
using password protection.
Your first PIN is given to you by your wireless service provider; you can change the PIN later.
You create your own password when you begin using your device.
Protect your phone with a PIN
1. From the Phone keypad, tap Menu > Options > Phone tab.
2. Tap Require PIN when phone is used.
To change the PIN at any time, tap
Change PIN.
Note Emergency calls can be placed at any time, without requiring a PIN.
Protect your device with a password
You can help keep your data more secure by requiring a password every time the device is
turned on.
1. Tap Start > Settings > Personal tab > Password.
2. Select the Prompt if device unused for check box, and in the box to the right,
select how long your device must be turned off before a password is required. In the
Password type box, select the type of password you would like to use. Enter the
password and, if necessary, confirm the password.
