For messages that have to be sent via several service centres to reach the recipient, some networks offer the feature of sending a reply, if any, back to you through the same chain of service centres. To keep this possibility open, you must enter the Send message setup option and select Reply Path on.

If you want confirmation from the network operator that your message has been received by the person you want to send it to, you must enter the Send message setup option and select

Confirmation on. If the message has not been received you will get the information that it is either queued or not delivered.

You can select whether your messages should be stored automatically in the Outbox after having been sent or not. Select

Save outsoins messages on if you want to store your messages, and select Save outsoins messages off if you want them to be deleted after having been sent. Selecting the latter option leaves you more memory for incoming messages.

Fixed dialllings off.

Barred dialling

If you have a barred dialling phone book on your SIM card you must select

Barred dialllins on to enable it. Having selected Barred dialllins on any attempt to make a call will make the phone compare the dialled number with the numbers stored in this special phone book. If the dialled number is stored in the Barred numbers phone book the call will be refused.

To enable the fixed dialling and the barred dialling phone books you have to enter your PIN2 code.

Phone book sorting

SECURITY

SECURITYCALL TIMERS

Call timers and charge

Your telephone can display the actual duration and cost of an ongoing conversation if you so wish. It can also show you the duration and cost of the last call and all calls made with your SIM card since the timer was last reset. However, the call charge feature must be supported by your network.

In order to be able to see the cost in the display you have to enter a unit price and the actual currency. You can also enter a maximum call charge limit, so that when this maximum has been reached no more phone calls can be made. The telephone will inform you about the remaining call charge balance.

To enter or change call charge and currency you will be requested to enter your PIN2 code.

PIN code

To prevent misuse of your SIM card, e.g. if it is lost or stolen, you can select a PIN code to be entered each time you switch on the phone.

The PIN code is a 4 to 8-digit number of your own choice, which you can change any time you like.

If you enter an invalid PIN code three times, your SIM card will be blocked and to unblock it you have to enter the PIN Unlocking Key (PUK) code supplied by your network operator. This procedure prevents unauthorized person from working out your PIN code by repeatedly entering different combinations of numbers.

The display will inform you how many tries you have left before the SIM card is blocked. If you enter an invalid PUK code 10 times, your SIM card will be permanently blocked and you have to contact your network operator.

Some SIM cards use a PIN2 code for accessing special functions. Contact your network operator for further information on PUK2 and PIN2 code.

If you have Alternate Line Service on your phone, you can restrict the outgoing use to only one of these lines. Select Line lock on in the security menu and enter a 4 to 8 digit lock code of your own choice. To shift back to the other line you have to enter this code.

SIM lock

You can link your telephone and your SIM card together. This means that if, for instance, your phone is stolen it cannot be used together with another SIM card. To enable this feature just select

SIM lock on and enter an 6 to 16-digit code of your own choice. For your own sake remember to write down this code to be able to deactivate

the lock at a later time. You have 10 attempts before the phone is blocked.
