The Service Provider (SP) Lock menu is used to lock the cell phone to the
SP's SIM card. Once the cell phone is locked to a specific operator, if one
inserts a SIM card from a different operator the phone will refuse to accept it!
The cell phone will however accept another SIM card from the same operator.

To activate/deactivate this lock one needs a special secret code that is not
available to the end user.

Here is how to activate the menu:

<**< Lock to Network? if pressing yes you have 5 attempts
to enter NCK.

<**<< Lock to Network subset? if pressing yes you have
5 attempts to enter NSCK.

Warning: Your phone can be locked to a service provider FOREVER by doing this!
If an invalid code is entered all five times, the menu will exit and be deactivated!
Any further attempt to activate the NCK/NSCK lock Menu will result in the response
"Not allowed"! However the NCK/NSCK lock can be recover through a direct clearing
in the EEPROM.

Pin-outs:
The following information was mailed to me as seen underneath except for some minor changes.

1 = + external power supply
2 = RS232 input (TTL)
3 = GND (digital)
4 = RS232 output (TTL)
5 = +5V output
6 = Test
7 = Mute
8 = Internal/external
9 = GND (analogic)
10 = ?
11 = BF in
12 = BF out

Short description
1: it is for best external power supply, to charge the phone battery.
The external power supply alone without the phone battery DOES NOT switch on!
Suggested voltage 7.2V with 600mA at least.

2: The RS232 serial line input at TTL (0/5V) level.
When the phone is on, this pin is at "0", against any logic.
Connect your interface RS232/TTL even if its output is 1!!!

3: GND digital

4: It is the RS232 serial out put at level TTL (0/5V). When the
phone is switched on this pin is at 1 (this seems logical!).

5: +5V output with phone on. Usable provided that few mA are absorbed.

6: Mode test. As a general rule is at 0. To switch in test mode, switch the
cellular off, set the pin at 1 (+5V), switch the phone on.In this mode the serial
line works at 115200 instead of the standard 9600.

7: Mute. Normally at 0, it goes at 1 while scrolling or during a conversation.
Useful to mute the possible ear breaking radio!

8: if open, the internal microphone and loudspeaker are on. If at 0, the external
ones are enabled.

9: GND analogic

10: The function of this pin is a mystery. It seems like a microphone and
loudspeaker attenuates when at 0.

11: BF in

12: BF out
