It's possible to protect access to PrivateWave by setting a 4 digit long PIN number. PIN number protect any access to your client (and thus to your communication data) except when answering to a Secure Call.
Even if you can answer without typing any PIN of sort, all the Advanced telephony features that involve access to your contact list would be blocked until you insert your PIN.
By default you'd asked to insert PIN if you didn't use the client for 10 minutes. You have 5 attempts to insert your correct PIN number. If you failed all of them your PrivateWave would be blocked for one minute, in order to prevent malicious unlock attempts.
All above values are default ones, meaning that your Service Operator can change and apply them to your client via Automatic Activation message. Please check your PIN default values with your Service Operator.
Turn on PIN protection
PIN is enabled either by Automatic Activation or by explicit setup.
Please note that if you upgraded an older PrivateWave , that has been already configured, then PIN would be NOT enabled by default and thus it's required that you specifically turn it on.
