Sony Ericsson P800 User Guide

							Getting to know your P80041This is the Internet version of the user’s guide. © Print only for private use. Device lockThe device lock protects your P800 and the data in it against 
unauthorized use. If the device lock is set to 
When SIM changed
, it 
means that normally the P800 is not locked. However, if the 
SIM is changed, the P800 asks you to enter the code to unlock 
the P800 before you can use it. Thus, if someone steals your 
P800 and puts another SIM card into it, they will not be able to 
use it.
The device lock is not on when you buy your P800. You can 
change the device lock code to any four to eight digit personal 
code.
To activate the device lock
1. Select 
Phone > Edit > Preferences > Locks
2. Select a lock option.
3. Select 
Done
.
You can choose to have the P800 locked every time you turn it 
on, locked when the SIM card has been changed, or unlocked.
It is also possible to use the device lock in combination with the 
screen saver. Just mark the checkbox 
Control panel > Device > 
Display > Screen saver device lock
 to have the device lock activated 
when the screen saver goes on.
When using the screen saving device lock, make sure you have 
set the device lock to activate at Power on. Otherwise your P800 
is unprotected, after Power on, until the screen saver goes on.
