Nokia 2170 Mobile Secrets:

(170-2213/4) Security

The 170-2213 and the 170-2214 are both the same telephone. The only difference is where they are sold.

Security Code:

Your phone will prompt you for a five-digit security code to enter certain features. The factory default code is 12345, and that is what your phone will accept until it is changed.

If your service provider hasn’t already changed your security code, it’s recommended you have it changed immediately. See “To change your security code (Menu 5 3)” below.

Note: When entering your security code, ** will appear on the display to keep others from viewing your code.

If you make a mistake entering the code,

Erase the incorrect digit by pressing CLR or press and hold CLR to exit the current function.

What if you enter the wrong security code?

You can still enter it again. But if you enter the wrong security code five times in a row, your phone will activate a security timer.

If this happens, your phone will not accept a security code for about five minutes, even if you enter the correct one. You can still use your phone, but any attempts to enter the security code will reset the timer.

Once the timer has elapsed, you may re-enter the correct security code to access security code protected features.

Note: Your phone must remain on during the five minute security timer or the timer will reset for another five minutes.

Menu 5 1, Automatic Phone Lock

When this feature is activated, your phone will be locked every time you switch on your phone. You must enter a four-digit lock code to unlock your phone. Without entering your lock code, you’ll be denied access to almost every memory and menu function.

When your phone is locked, your phone will only receive incoming calls and make outgoing calls to the phone numbers stored in memory locations 2, 3, and 4.

If your phone is locked and you switch your phone off and back on again, you must enter the lock code.

Note: When your phone is locked, calls may be possible to the emergency number programmed into your phone (e.g. 911 or other official emergency number) including calls with Emergency Key 9.

To enter the lock code

At Enter lock code: enter the lock code and press OK.

Note: Your security code can be entered in place of the lock code when you are asked to enter the lock code.

To answer a call with Auto Lock on

Press TALK.

Can you make calls with Auto Lock on?

Yes. You can call numbers that are stored in memory locations 2, 3, and 4, which are unlocked. To make full use of this feature, you may wish to store your most frequently-dialed numbers in these locations.

To call unlocked memory locations while Auto Lock is on

There are four different ways you can do this:

1. Press and hold CLR to go to the start screen. Press / or / to desired unlocked location, then press TALK.

2. Enter number as it is stored and press TALK.

3. Press desired unlocked location (either 2, 3, or 4) and press TALK.

4. Press and hold the desired unlocked location.

To turn Auto Lock off

Use Menu 5 1 and your lock code.

To change your lock code (Menu 5 2)

You can change your lock code with your phone’s menu. Your default code is set to the last 4 digits of your phone number. In a lock code, only characters 0 to 9 * and # are accepted.

Changing the lock code is simple. Just press Menu 5 2 and follow the prompts to do this. Make sure you have your security code handy. You’ll need it to change the lock code.

Note: Avoid entering access codes similar to emergency numbers to prevent accidental emergency calls.

To change your security code (Menu 5 3)

The default security code for your phone is 12345. It’s recommended that you change this code immediately. Just press Menu 5 3 and follow the prompts to do this, and make sure you write the new code down and store it away from your phone.

Menu 5 4, Restrict Calls

This feature allows you to restrict outgoing calls from your phone. You can select the level of restrictions through a series of menu choices.

Menu 5 4 1, Restrict outgoing calls

Allowed means that all calls can be made as usual.

Blocked means that no calls can be made.

Limited means that calls can be made only to phone numbers stored in certain memory locations.

When restricting outgoing calls by selecting Limited, you are prompted for an Allow from location: and To location: value. for example, at Allow from location: enter 1 and To location: enter 15, to allow only calls to the numbers stored in locations 1-15.
