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 PIN code is read from the SIM
card or radio programming and cannot be changed or disabled. 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.

the speaker or the earpiece using the Audio Toggle menu (Menu → Setup → Audio → Audio
Toggle) or the assigned One-Touch Button.
