HTC NM8RHOD00 Manuel D’Utilisation

48  Managing Your Device

You can protect your SIM card by requiring a PIN (personal identification number) 

every time the device is turned on. You will not be able to use the phone or the data 

connection until you enter the correct PIN.

On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab, and then tap 

Communications.

On the Wireless Manager screen, tap Phone > PIN Code.

Enter the PIN, tap OK, and then tap OK on the dialog box. 

Tips 

•  To change the PIN, tap Change PIN on the Phone Settings screen.

 

Emergency calls can be placed at any time, without requiring a PIN.

You can help keep your data more secure by requiring a password every time the 

device is turned on, or after a timeout that you set.

Tap Start > Settings > Lock.

Select the Prompt if device unused for check box, and then specify the idle 

time before the device requires a password. If you choose 0 Minutes, you will 

need to input the password every time you wake the device up from Sleep 

mode. For more information, see “Switching to Sleep mode” in Chapter 1.

In the Password type box, select the type of password you would like to use.

Tip 

If your device is configured to connect to a network, use an alphanumeric 

password for increased security.
