You can change the following codes: lock code, PIN or UPIN code, and PIN2 code.
These codes can only include the numbers from 0 to 9.

Avoid using access codes similar to emergency numbers to prevent accidental
dialing of the emergency number.

Certificate management

A list of authority certificates that have been stored in your device is displayed in

Certificate management

. To see a list of personal certificates if available,

scroll right.

Digital certificates should be used if you want to connect to an online bank or
another site or remote server for actions that involve transferring confidential
information. They should also be used if you want to reduce the risk of viruses or
other malicious software and be sure of the authenticity of software when
downloading and installing software.

When security features that restrict calls are in use (such as call barring, closed user group,
and fixed dialing), calls may be possible to the official emergency number programmed into
your device.

Important: Even if the use of certificates makes the risks involved in remote
connections and software installation considerably smaller, they must be used
correctly in order to benefit from increased security. The existence of a certificate
does not offer any protection by itself; the certificate manager must contain
correct, authentic, or trusted certificates for increased security to be available.
Certificates have a restricted lifetime. If "Expired certificate" or "Certificate not
valid yet" is shown even if the certificate should be valid, check that the current
date and time in your device are correct.

Before changing any certificate settings, you must make sure that you really trust
the owner of the certificate and that the certificate really belongs to the listed
owner.

View certificate details and check authenticity

You can only be sure of the correct identity of a server when the signature and the
period of validity of a server certificate have been checked.

The device notifies you if the identity of the server is not authentic or if you do not
have the correct security certificate in your device.

To check certificate details, scroll to a certificate, and select

Options

>

Certificate

details

. While opening the certificate details, the device checks the validity of the

Change the trust settings

Before changing any certificate settings, you must make sure that you really trust
the owner of the certificate and that the certificate really belongs to the listed
owner.

Scroll to an authority certificate, and select

Options

>

Trust settings

. Depending

on the certificate, a list of the applications that can use the selected certificate is
shown.
