How to
Turning my tablet PIN on or off
If you want to protect your SIM against unauthorised use, you need to turn on your PIN protection. Once done, it needs to be keyed in every time you turn on your tablet. Please note: your PIN doesn't prevent others from accessing the contents of your tablet (such as pictures and messages). You can prevent this by turning on the lock code.
