To set a User PIN Policy (restrictions), you will need to enter 3 digits, for instance '091', the first two digits (09) indicate the minimum
PIN length (in this case, 9) and the last digit (1) denotes that one or more 'Special Characters' must be used, in other words 'SHIFT (
) + digit'. In the same way, a User PIN Policy can be set without the need of a 'Special Character', for instance '120', the first two digits
(12) indicate the minimum PIN length (in this case,12) and the last digit (0) meaning no Special Character is required.
Once the Administrator has set the User PIN Policy, for instance '091', a new User PIN will need to be configured - see

• More than one 'Special Character' can be used and placed along your 7-15 digit PIN.
• Users are able to change their PIN but are forced to comply with the set 'User PIN Policy' (restrictions), if
and when applicable.
• Setting a new User PIN Policy will automatically delete the User PIN if one exists.
• This policy does not apply to the 'Self-Destruct PIN'. The complexity setting for the Self-Destruct PIN and
Admin PIN is always 7-15 digits, with no special character required.
