Code memo

Instead of having to remember all the different 
security codes for credit cards, for example, you 
can save them in the code memo in your phone. 
Then all you need to remember is the passcode to 
open the code memo. You can save a maximum of 
10 codes in the code memo.

Checkword and security
To confirm that you have entered the correct 
passcode for the code memo and to prevent 
unauthorized access to your codes, you must 
enter a checkword. 

When you enter your passcode to open the code 

memo, the checkword is shown for a short time. If 
the passcode is correct, the correct codes are shown. 
If you enter the incorrect passcode, the checkword 
and the codes that are shown are also incorrect.

Factors strengthening the security of the code 

memo function are:

It is important that you remember your new code. If 
you should forget it, you have to hand in your phone 
to your local Sony Ericsson retailer.
