82 Managing Your Pocket PC Phone

5.5 Protecting Your Pocket PC Phone

There are two kinds of protection that you can set for your device:

• You can protect your SIM card from unauthorized use by

assigning a PIN (personal identiﬁcation number). Your ﬁrst PIN

will be given to you by your wireless service provider; you can

change the PIN later.

• Additionally, you can prevent unauthorized access to any part of

the device by using password protection. You can help keep your

data more secure by requiring a password every time the device

is turned on. You create your own password when you begin

using your device.

To protect your SIM card with a PIN

1. On the Phone screen, tap Menu > Options > Phone tab.

2. Tap Require PIN when phone is used.

3. To change the PIN at any time, tap Change PIN.

Tip Emergency calls can be placed at any time, without requiring a PIN.

To protect your device with a password

1. Tap Start > Settings > Personal tab > Lock.

2. Select the Prompt if device unused for check box, and in the

box to the right, select how long your device must be turned off

before a password is required. In the Password type box, select

the type of password you would like to use. Enter the password

and, if necessary, conﬁrm the password.

If your device is conﬁgured to connect to a network, use an

alphanumeric password for increased security for your device.

3. On the Hint tab, enter a phrase that will help you remember your

password, but does not allow others to guess your password.

The hint will be displayed after the wrong password is entered

four times.

4. Tap OK. The next time the device is turned on, you will be

prompted to enter your password.
