CT-501 Handheld Flip-Style Cellular Phone
(170-1110) Security Features
Locking Your Phone
To prevent unauthorized use of your phone, you can enter a three-digit
code to lock your phone at any time (see "Using Manual Lock"). For added
convenience, you can also set the phone to automatically lock every time
you turn it off (see "Using Automatic Lock" below).
When the phone is locked, Loc'd appears when you press any key (except
PWR). When the phone is locked and receives a call, it rings as usual -
to answer the call, you must enter the lock code then press SND.
Your phone's preprogrammed lock code is 123. For added security, you can
change the code to one that you can easily remember. See "Changing the
Lock Code" below.
Note: If you lock your phone then forget the lock code, you can enter
a six-digit security code to display the lock code.
