ABOUT PARENTAL CONTROL
The operation of the Parental control component is based on filtering of outgoing SMS messages and calls using the
Black and the White Lists.
If at least one match is detected, the scan will be stopped. SMS messages and calls matching any entry in the Black List
will be blocked and message and calls matching an entry in the White List will be allowed.
Parental control blocks SMS messages sent only using standard tools of the device.
When you access Parental control for the first time, you should set up a secret code (on page 16) (if it was not set up
earlier). The secret code is used to prevent unauthorized access to the Parental control settings. The code will also be
used to access the settings of the Encryption and Anti-Theft components.
Information about the component's operation will be saved to the program log (see section “Program logs” on page 77).
