• ACCESS CODES
Use access codes to change your security code, PIN code, and PIN2 code.
Note: Avoid using codes similar to emergency numbers such as
911 to prevent accidental dialing of the emergency number.
The security code
The security code controls access to features such as the security level and
is supplied with the phone. The preset code is 12345.
Note: If you enter the wrong security code five times in
succession, you won’t be able to enter a code for five minutes,
even if you power off the phone between incorrect entries.
CHANGE YOUR SECURITY CODE
Once you change the security code from its preset of 12345, keep the new
code secret, and in a safe place separate from your phone.

wireless provider.
Important: If you enter an incorrect PUK or PUK2 code 10 times in
