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 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 Security menu

options (Menu 5.6). See page 95 for further

details.

Important! Avoid using access codes

resembling emergency numbers,

such as 999, so that you do not dial

an emergency number accidentally.
