• PHONE LOCK

You can prevent unauthorized use of your phone by locking it. When your
phone is locked, the menu and phone book cannot be opened. Incoming
calls can be received, but outgoing calls can only be made to the unlocked
phone number you specify.

The four-digit default lock code is 1234. Nokia recommends that you
change the default code immediately.

Note: If you enter an incorrect lock code five times in a row,
your phone prompts you for the five-digit security code.
