Security code

Your phone will prompt you for a five digit security code for certain features.
These features can be used only after the correct security code has been
successfully entered.

Note: When entering your security code, ***** will appear on the

display to keep others from viewing your code.

If you make a mistake entering the code, erase the last entered digit by
pressing Clear (or press and hold Clear to delete all the digits on your display).
Then enter the correct code or press Back to exit the current feature.

If you enter an incorrect security code (Code error will appear) five times
in a row, your phone won’t accept any entries for the next five minutes.

Your phone’s default security code is 12345. It’s highly recommended
that you change this code at once, write it down, and store it in a safe
place away from your phone.

Changing your security code

1. Press Menu 4-4-2-3 (Settings - Security settings - Access codes -

Change security code) and press Select.

2. Enter existing (or default) security code and press OK.

3. Enter new 5-digit security code and press OK.

4. Re-enter your new 5-digit security code for verification, and press OK.

5. Phone will display Security code changed.

Note: If you have changed your security code and don’t remember the

new code, contact your service provider. Once you have changed
your security code, the default setting is no longer valid.
