However, it is recommended to change the original PIN code to your own, the instruction on how to change the PIN code is provided in the user guide or Nokia Web site. 
  • UPIN code is usually supplied with the USIM card. The USIM card is an enhanced version of the SIM card and is supported by UMTS mobile phones.
  • PIN2 code is also 4 to 8 digits long and is supplied with some SIM cards, and is required to access certain services.
  • If you enter any of the above PIN codes incorrectly three consecutive times, you need corresponding PUK codes to unlock them. Read more about PUK codes below.

PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) codes:

  • PUK code is 8 digits long and is required to change a blocked PIN code.
  • UPUK code is required to change a blocked UPIN code.
  • PUK2 code is required to change a blocked PIN2 code.
  • The PUK codes are also provided by your network operator.

Lock code / Security code / Password:

  • These codes protect your phone from unauthorised use.
  • The default lock code or security code supplied with the phone is 12345. The password is used with Nokia with Windows Phone devices, and there is no default for it. It is recommended to specify the code of your own. The instruction on how to change the code is provided in the user guide or Nokia Web site.
  • Keep the new code in a safe place separate from your phone.
  • If you get error notifications after entering the code too many times incorrectly, reboot the phone and wait for 15 minutes, then try again. If the problem persists, contact your local Nokia Care Point.

 Restriction code / Restriction password:

  • The restriction code or restriction password may be required when using some network services, such as call restriction service. Note that not all network operators support such service.
  • If your device display "Enter restriction code" when you insert a new SIM card, it means that your device has been locked to use a certain operator's network and it does not accept SIM cards from other operators.

  • How can I prolong my battery life on my Nokia phone?

Use the following guidelines to increase your battery life time:

  • Turn Bluetooth off when you do not need it.
  • Specify that your Nokia phone does not scan, or scans less often, for available Wireless LAN (WLAN) networks in the backround when you do not need WLAN connections (to turn off scanning, disable Show WLAN availability in Wireless LAN settings). 
  • If you have set Packet data connection to When available in connection settings, and there is no packet data coverage (GPRS), your Nokia phone periodically tries to establish a packet data connection. To prolong the operating time of your Nokia phone, select Packet data connection > When needed.
  • The Maps application downloads new map information when you scroll to new areas on the map, which increases the demand on battery power. Prevent the automatic download of new maps.
  • If the signal strength of the cellular network varies much in your area, your Nokia phone must scan for the available network repeatedly. This increases the demand on battery power.  If the Network mode is set to dual mode in the network settings, the Nokia phone searches for the UMTS network. To use only the GSM network, select Network mode > GSM
  • The backlight of the display increases the demand on battery power. In the display settings, you can change the time-out after which the backlight is switched off, and adjust the light sensor that observes lighting conditions and adjusts the display brightness.
  • Leaving applications running in the background increases the demand on battery power. Close application you do not use.
  • Turn off vibrate function of your Nokia phone, using just the ring tone.
  • Avoid using moving or animated pictures or videos for your Nokia phone's background.
  • Turn off your Nokia phone whenever you do not plan to answer any calls, for example while you are sleeping.
  • Make sure your phone is running the latest software. For downloads and assistance, go to your local Nokia website's support page.

If the battery loses the power fast even though there is no features consuming the power, the battery may be wearing out and you need to replace it with a new one.

  • How can i connect my phone to Internet with Nokia suite?

You can use your mobile device to connect a computer to the Internet. To do this, you need to have your mobile device connected to the computer via a USB cable or via Bluetooth.

To create an internet connection for the first time, do the following:

  • You can find the latest available Nokia Suite from your local support site
  • In the Nokia Suite Home view, click Tools -> Options -> Connect to Internet
  • Depending on the device model you are using, the internet connection is created as follows:

The connection is created automatically or you need to select the operator to be used when creating an internet connection. From the list that shows the operators in your country, select your home operator (in other words the operator to whose network you have subscribed to). Then click OK.

Once you are connected to the internet, you can see detailed information about the connection in the left-hand area of Home. The following information is displayed:

  • Operator or access point in use.
  • Duration of the current internet connection.
  • Amount of data transferred during the current internetconnection

Note:If you have a Nokia Suite view other than Home open, the device area indicates that you are connected to the internet.

Steps to connect your device and computer:
Connect your device to the computer by using a USB cable or Bluetooth wireless connection.If you are connecting via Bluetooth, Bluetooth modem drivers may need to be installed on your computer.

 Note: USB connection is much preferred  as USB is much stable.

Support software may also need to be installed on your mobile device. The support software is needed for keeping messages, contacts and bookmarks up to date on your device and computer. Accept the installation on your mobile device if the device asks for confirmation. The installation of Bluetooth modem drivers and support software depends on the device model you are using. If you cancel the installation or if the installation fails, it is later restarted automatically.

  • There is a new software update available for my phone model but I cannot get it?

Nokia aims to have software updates available for every single phone and we share information about the latest software for different models on your local Nokia website (software update section in the support page). To find out if an update is available for you, just

  • connect your phone to Nokia Suite and select Tools > Software updates
    or
  • open the Software Update application on your phone. For most devices, you will find this application under Menu > Settings > Phone > Phone updates or Menu > Applications > (Tools >) SW Update. If you don't find the software update application from these locations, check the correct location from the user guide.

Update availability is influenced by many factors including existing Nokia device firmware version, country, and operator. It may be due to one of these variables, that there currently is no new firmware update available for your phone. For example if your mobile service provider hasn't approved the latest Nokia device firmware, it isn't available for that specific operator variant you are using but it can be available for a generic country version your friend is using.

New firmware may become available later, so it's best to setup your device in a way that it automatically informs you when a new software version is available. You can do this in the following way:

  1. Start the software update application on your phone. (Again, for most devices, you will find this application under Menu > Settings > Phone > Phone updates or  Menu > Applications > (Tools >) SW Update. If you don't find the software update application from these menu locations, check the correct location from the user guide.)
  2. Select Options > Settings > Auto-Check for updates. With  that in place, your phone will automatically check in specified intervals if there's a new software available and prompt you to start the update.
