How do I go back to the original Motorola C139 Faqs settings?

As I was writing this article I was unable to my phone to not use the Itap entry. I could go to symbols, numeric, Itap French, Itap Spanish, Itap LA Spanish, Itap English but not back to the standard English Text input. The only way I could get it to go back was to do a "Master Reset". I went to "Settings," "Other Settings," "Initial Setup," "Master Reset" and put in the security code. "1234" is the security code if you have not reset yours. Put this in and you have set the phone back to the original settings. You will not lose your phone book entries with the "Master Reset."

"Master Clear" is right next to "Master Reset" in the menu and will wipe all information you have entered into the phone. "Master Clear" will wipe out your phonebook entries.

How do I lock my Moto C139 so no one else can use it?

Click "Menu" go up to "Settings" go to "Security" go to and select "New Passwords." The default password is usually "1234". Put in the default password, then your new password, then your new password again. Now set your phone to require the password every time you use the phone. Click "Menu", "settings", "Security", "Auto Key Lock." I set mine to one minute delay so I do not have to put it in if I am making a couple of calls in succession. Now you will have to put in your password --a four number code-- to make a call. This will make your phone worthless if someone steals it. It will also keep other people from burning up your minutes without your permission.

Security Suggestion

I highly recommend that you change the security code on your phone. This will keep someone else from going in and changing it on you. They may just be horsing around but with your own code in there they cannot do it. I would also recommend auto locking your phone.
