• PROTECT YOUR PHONE WITH PHONE LOCK

You can lock your phone to prevent others from using it. When someone
tries to use it, they will be required to enter a lock code.

Tip: If you save an unlocked phone number, you can make calls to that

number without entering the lock code.

Important:

The default lock code is 1234 (or the last four digits of your phone number,
depending on your service provider). Nokia highly recommends that you
immediately change this code, write down the new code, and store it in a
safe place, away from your phone.

When you enter your lock code, an asterisk (*) appears on the screen each
time you press a number key, preventing others from seeing your code. If
you enter the wrong code five times in a row, your phone will prompt you
for the security code.

Press Menu 4 > 3 > 2 > 1 (Settings > Security settings > Access

Scroll to On (lock) or Off (unlock). Press OK. If you choose to lock your
phone, it will be locked when you switch it off. When you turn it back

Note: When your phone is locked, it may not be possible to make an

emergency call. (See “Make an emergency call” on page 54.)
