Locking and protecting your device
IMEI number
Every device has a unique IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number.
You should keep a copy of this number. If your device is stolen, your network
provider can use your IMEI number to stop the device from accessing the network in
your country.

From your Home screen, tap   .
2
Find and tap Settings > About phone > Status.

SIM card protection
The SIM card lock only protects your subscription. Your device will still work with a
new SIM card. If the SIM card lock is on, you have to enter a PIN (Personal Identity
Number). If you enter your PIN incorrectly more times than the maximum number of
attempts allowed, your SIM card will become blocked. You need to enter your PUK
(Personal Unblocking Key) and then a new PIN. Your PIN, PIN2 and PUK are supplied
by your network operator.
