Security settings

Phone and SIM

Select Menu > Settings and Phone > Phone

mgmt. > Security > Phone and SIM card.

Select from the following:

PIN code request — When active, the code is

requested each time the device is switched on.

Deactivating the PIN code request may not be

allowed by some SIM cards.

PIN code, PIN2 code, and Lock code — You can

change the PIN code, PIN2 code, and lock code.

These codes can only include numbers from 0 to 9.

Avoid using access codes similar to the emergency

numbers to prevent accidental dialling of the

emergency number. If you forget the PIN or PIN2

code, contact your service provider. If 130 you forget the

lock code, contact a Nokia Care point or your service

provider.

Phone autolock period — To avoid unauthorised

use, you can set a time-out after which the device

automatically locks. A locked device cannot be used

until the correct lock code is entered. To turn off the

autolock period, select None.

Lock if SIM card changed — You can set the device

to ask for the lock code when an unknown SIM card

is inserted into your device. The device maintains a

list of SIM cards that are recognised as the owner’s

cards.

Remote phone locking — Enable or disable

remote lock.

Closed user group — You can specify a group of

people to whom you can call and who can call you

(network service).

Confirm SIM services — You can set the device to

display confirmation messages when you are using

a SIM card service (network service).

In the offline or flight profiles, you may need to unlock

the device and change to the calling profile before

making a call.

When calls are limited to closed user groups, calls may

be possible to the official emergency number

programmed into your device.

Certificate management

Select Menu > Settings and Phone > Phone

mgmt. > Security > Certificate management.

Digital certificates should be used if you want to

connect to an online bank or another site or remote

server for actions that involve transferring confidential

information. They should also be used if you want to

reduce the risk of viruses or other malicious software

and be sure of the authenticity of software when

downloading and installing software.

Select from the following:

Authority certificates — View and edit authority

certificates.

Trusted site certificates — View and edit trusted

site certificates.

Personal certificates — View and edit personal

certificates.

Phone certificates — View and edit device

certificates.

Digital certificates do not guarantee safety; they are

used to verify the origin of software
