13. Security

Your phone is equipped with a versatile security system that prevents the
unauthorized use of the phone.

You must successfully enter your security code to activate and use certain
phone features.

The default security code is 12345.

Nokia highly recommends that you immediately change this code.
Then, write down and store the new code in a safe place, away from
your phone.

When entering your security code, a * appears on the screen each time you
press a number key. This prevents others from seeing your code.

If you incorrectly enter a security code five times in a row, your phone
won’t accept any entries for the next 5 minutes. However, if you realize
that you’ve entered the code incorrectly before pressing OK, you can use
Clear to erase the code, digit by digit, beginning with the last digit.

When this guide describes an action that requires the entry of your
security code, each step necessary to this action is provided.
