PIN code request: If you set the PIN code request On, the communicator requests that you enter the code every time you turn on the phone. If you enter the PIN code incorrectly three times in succession, you will need a PUK code to unblock the SIM card. When the SIM card is blocked, you cannot send or receive any documents or calls except calls to preprogramed emergency numbers. Otherwise, the communicator can be used normally. You need the PIN code to change this setting. Note: This setting cannot be changed, if the phone is switched off or if there is no valid SIM card inserted. Note: Some SIM cards do not allow you to turn the PIN code request off. Autolock period: Determines the security time-out period, after which the communicator will lock. The options are None/2 minutes/5 minutes/10 minutes. The last option allows you to define the number of minutes yourself. When the communicator is locked, you can make emergency calls to predefined numbers using the cover phone. You can also answer incoming calls and make emergency calls using the Telephone application. All other actions are blocked. The timer is reset by any input, data transfer, printing, and so on. You need the lock code to change this setting. Lock if SIM card is changed: If set On, every time the phone is switched on this security option checks whether the SIM card in the communicator has been changed. If the SIM card has been changed and the new SIM card has not been used with your communicator previously, the communicator locks itself until the lock code is correctly entered. The communicator recognizes five different SIM cards as the owner's cards. You need the lock code to change this setting. Extras 231
