Want to protect your phone against unauthorized use? Define a security code, and set your phone to lock itself automatically when you're not using it.

  1. Select Settings and Phone > Phone management > Security settings > Phone and SIM card.

  2. Select Security code, and enter a security code. A minimum of 4 characters is required, and numbers, symbols, and upper and lower case letters can be used.

    Keep the security code secret and in a safe place separate from your phone. If you forget the security code and your phone is locked, your phone will require service. Additional charges may apply, and all the personal data in your phone may be deleted. For more information, contact a Nokia Care point or your phone dealer.

  3. Select Phone autolock period, and define the length of time after which the phone is locked automatically.
