Nokia 9000 - Security

10-8 Security
Security
You can manually lock the communicator in the
Security application’s main view by pressing
Lock system
. If autolock (
Autolock period
, de-
fined in the Security settings) is off, you must
first enter the correct Lock code. If autolock is on,
pressing
Lock system
will lock the device imme-
diately. Alternatively, you can also lock the sys-
tem in the phone interface menu 5 8 (see chapter
14 "Phone interface: Menus - Security options
(Menu 5)") or via the autolock feature. When au-
tolock is in use, the communicator will automat-
ically lock after the defined inactivity period,
without prompting for the lock code.
After the communicator has been locked, it can-
not be used until the correct Lock code is given.
Incoming voice calls can, however, be answered
via the phone interface.
Note:
When the communicator is locked, it may
be possible to make a call via the phone interface
to the emergency number programmed into your
phone (e.g., 112 or other official emergency
number).
Press

in the Security main view to get
the following settings list (figure 10-2):

terisks,

). These items can be adjusted by press-
ing

(see the following sections).
Pressing

will close the security settings
view and return to the Security main view.
To change the security settings:

Select the setting and press
Change
.

If you are prompted for a code, enter it and
press
OK
.

Choose a new value.
If you are changing a code, you will be prompted
for the current code and then the new code
twice. The code cannot be changed if the respec-
tive security feature is not in use.
Note:
Avoid using codes that are similar to emer-
gency numbers to prevent accidental dialling of
the emergency number.
PIN code request — On / Off
(default)
If you set the PIN (Personal Identity Number)
code request on, the system requests the code
every time when the phone interface is turned
on by pressing . You can also turn the PIN
code request on or off in the phone interface
Security Options menu (Menu 5 1). This set-
ting cannot be changed if the phone interface
is switched off.
Note:
Some SIM cards do not allow you to
turn the PIN code request off.
If you enter the PIN code incorrectly three
times in a row, you will need a PUK code to
unblock the SIM card. When the SIM card is
blocked, you cannot make or receive any calls
(including faxes, short messages, mail, etc.),
except emergency calls. Otherwise, the com-
municator can be used normally.
