Protecting your SIM card with a PIN

Add another layer of security for HTC One S by assigning a PIN (personal

identification number) to your SIM.

Make sure you have the default SIM PIN provided by your mobile operator before

continuing.

1. Slide the Notifications panel open, and then tap > Security.

2. Tap Set up SIM card lock, then select Lock SIM card.

3. Enter the default SIM card PIN, and then tap OK.

4. To change the SIM card PIN, tap Change SIM PIN.

Restoring a SIM card that has been locked out

If you enter the wrong PIN more times than the maximum number of attempts

allowed, your SIM card will become “PUK-locked.”

You need a PUK code to restore access to HTC One S. Contact your mobile operator

for this code.

1. On the Phone dialer screen, enter the PUK code, and then tap Next.

2. Enter the new PIN you want to use, and then tap Next.

3. Enter the new PIN again, and then tap OK.

Protecting HTC One S with a screen lock

Protect your personal information and prevent others from using HTC One S without

1. Slide the Notifications panel open, and then tap > Security.

2. Tap Screen lock.

3. Select a screen lock option and set up the screen lock.

your screen lock to display as you enter it onscreen.
