supplied with the SIM card. After three consecutive
incorrect PIN code entries, the code is blocked, and you
need the PUK code to unblock it.
UPIN code—This code may be supplied with the USIM card.
The USIM card is an enhanced version of the SIM card and
is supported by UMTS mobile phones.
PIN2 code—This code (4 to 8 digits) is supplied with some
SIM cards, and is required to access some functions in your
device.
Lock code (security code)—This code (5 digits) can be used
to lock the device to avoid unauthorized use. The factory
setting for the lock code is 12345. To avoid unauthorized
use of your device, change the lock code. Keep the new
code secret and in a safe place separate from your device.
If you forget the code, contact your service provider.
PUK and PUK2 codes—These codes (8 digits) are required to
change a blocked PIN code or PIN2 code, respectively. If
the codes are not supplied with the SIM card, contact the
operator whose SIM card is in your device.

Certificate management
Digital certificates do not guarantee safety; they are used
to verify the origin of software.
In the certificate management main view, you can see a
list of authority certificates that are stored in your device.
Press
to see a list of personal certificates, if available.
Digital certificates should be used if you want to connect
to an online bank or another site or remote server for
actions that involve transferring confidential information.
They should also be used if you want to reduce the risk of
viruses or other malicious software and be sure of the
authenticity of software when downloading and installing
software.
Important: Even if the use of certificates makes the
risks involved in remote connections and software
installation considerably smaller, they must be used
correctly in order to benefit from increased security. The
existence of a certificate does not offer any protection by
itself; the certificate manager must contain correct,
authentic, or trusted certificates for increased security to
be available. Certificates have a restricted lifetime. If
Expired certificate
or
Certificate not valid yet
is shown
even if the certificate should be valid, check that the
current date and time in your device are correct.
View certificate details—check authenticity
You can only be sure of the correct identity of a server
when the signature and the period of validity of a server
certificate have been checked.
You are notified if the identity of the server is not
authentic or if you do not have the correct security
certificate in your device.
To check certificate details, scroll to a certificate, and
select
Options
>
Certificate details
. When you open
certificate details, the validity of the certificate is checked,
and one of the following notes may be displayed:
Certificate not trusted
—You have not set any application
to use the certificate. See ‘Change the trust settings’, p.
119.
Expired certificate
—The period of validity has ended for
the selected certificate.
Certificate not valid yet
—The period of validity has not
yet begun for the selected certificate.
Certificate corrupted
—The certificate cannot be used.
Contact the certificate issuer.
Change the trust settings
Before changing any certificate settings, you must make
sure that you really trust the owner of the certificate and
that the certificate really belongs to the listed owner.

You can view the EAP plug-ins currently installed in your
device (network service). Some IAPs that use wireless LAN
as a data bearer and WPA security mode use the plug-ins
for authentication.
