Security Code

Your phone will prompt you for a

five-digit security code to enter

certain features. The factory

default code is 12345, and that is

what your phone will accept until it

is changed.
If your service provider hasn’t already changed your security

code, it’s recommended you have it changed immediately.

See “To change your security code (Menu 5 3)” on page

45.

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 incorrect digit by pressing

ù

or press and hold

ù

to exit the current function.

What if you enter the wrong security
code?
You can still enter it again. But if you enter the wrong

security code five times in a row, your phone will activate

a security timer.
If this happens, your phone will not accept a security code

for about five minutes, even if you enter the correct one.

You can still use your phone, but any attempts to enter the

security code will reset the timer.
Once the timer has elapsed, you may re-enter the correct

security code to access security code protected features.

Note: Your phone must remain on during the five minute security

timer or the timer will reset for another five minutes.
