   Notes

   • If the device can't use a PIN, the Use a PIN button will be unavailable.
   • Entering an incorrect PIN 3 times can result in your account being blocked until you get a PIN unblock key (PUK) from your mobile operator. If you're connected at the time that your account becomes blocked, your existing connection will end.
   • If a PIN is currently in use, the Use a PIN button will be unavailable.
   • If no PIN is currently in use, the Change PIN and Remove PIN buttons will be unavailable. You must first use a PIN before you can change it.
