• PROTECT YOUR PHONE WITH PHONE LOCK

You can lock your phone to prevent others from using it. When someone
tries to use it, they will be required to enter a lock code.

Tip: If you save an unlocked phone number, you can make calls to
that number without entering the lock code.

Important: The default lock code is 1234 (or the last four digits
of your phone number, depending on your service provider).
Nokia highly recommends that you immediately change this
code, write down the new code, and store it in a safe place,
away from your phone.

When you enter your lock code, an asterisk (*) appears on the screen each
time you press a number key, preventing others from seeing your code.
If you enter the wrong code five times in a row, your phone will prompt
you for the security code.
