PIN Code Authentication
If pre-set by your service provider, the radio has active PIN Code Authentication, which helps you
increase security and protect your radio against unauthorized use.
The BSI PIN code is read from the SIM card and cannot be changed or disabled. However, the general
PIN code read from the codeplug configuration can be changed and disabled using radio MMI or
codeplug. If you are unable to unlock the radio, you cannot send or receive any call, nor adjust the
volume level with the Rotary Knob.
You are asked to enter the PIN code each time you turn on the radio.
NOTE: If your radio is using BSI PIN authentication, the radio disables the general PIN
authentication.
