Security Options
The Security Options menu allows you to place restrictions on several of 
your phone’s functions. Options include locking specific features, limiting 
the types of calls that can be placed and received, and setting your phone 
so that it automatically locks whenever powered off. A lock code is 
necessary to activate these features. Panasonic recommends changing 
the preset lock code, which is in effect when you purchase your phone, to a 
code of your own.
Tip: If you ever misplace or forget your lock code — and your 
phone is locked — contact your wireless service provider. 
Note: Remember that emergency (911) calls can be placed 
from your phone even when security features are selected and
