Security
When it is disconnected, you can lock your modem so that others cannot use the 
modem and your account. A four-digit lock code is needed to unlock the modem.
Initial lock code
The initial lock code value is determined by your service provider.
For service provider configurations that do not require account activation, a 
default lock code is set at the factory to a value determined by the service 
provider. For assistance, contact your service provider.
Configurations that use the Activation Assistant or automated activation set the 
initial lock code to the last four digits of your account phone number whenever a 
new phone number is activated.
Note: The security lock code is reset to the last four digits of the phone number whenever 
an account is activated.
Warning regarding the lock code
If you lock the modem and forget the lock code, you will not be able to use the 
modem until you receive assistance from your service provider.
