■About your device
The wireless device described in this guide is approved for use on the

■Network services
To use the phone you must have service from a wireless service provider. Many of
the features in this device depend on features in the wireless network to
function. These network services may not be available on all networks or you may
have to make specific arrangements with your service provider before you can
utilize network services. Your service provider may need to give you additional
instructions for their use and explain what charges will apply. Some networks
may have limitations that affect how you can use network services. For instance,
some networks may not support all language-dependent characters and services.

General information
■Access codes
For details about access codes and their operations, see "Security settings," p. 30.
•Security code: This code, supplied with the phone, helps to protect your
phone against unauthorized use. The preset code is 12345.
•PIN code: This code, supplied with the SIM card, helps to protect the card
against unauthorized use.
To set your phone to request the PIN code each time it is switched on, in the
standby mode, select Menu > Settings > Security settings > PIN code request,
enter the PIN code, and select On.
If you enter the PIN code incorrectly three times in succession, the SIM card is
blocked. You must enter the PUK code to unblock the SIM card and set a new
PIN code.
•PIN2 code: This code is supplied with some SIM cards and is required to
access certain services, such as call cost settings. If you enter the PIN2 code
incorrectly three times in succession, PIN2 code blocked appears on the
display, and you will be asked for the PUK2 code.
Change the security code, PIN code and PIN2 code in Change access codes in
the Security settings menu (see "Security settings," p. 30). Keep the new
codes secret and in a safe place separate from your phone.
•PUK and PUK2 code: These codes may be supplied with the SIM card. If this is
not the case, contact your local service provider.
■Shared memory
The following features in this device may share memory: Messages, Contacts, and
Composer. Use of one or more of these features may reduce the memory available
for the remaining features sharing memory. For example, saving many text
messages may use all of the available memory. Your device may display a
message that the memory is full when you try to use a shared memory feature. In
this case, delete some of the information or entries stored in the shared memory
features before continuing. Some of the features, such as Contacts may have a
certain amount of memory specially allotted to them in addition to the memory
shared with other features.
