How does locking of a screen and PIN code differ from the PIN code of the SIM card?

If the mobile device is switched off, it can be switched on only by its owner, who knows the PIN code of the SIM card. Locking/unlocking of a screen is related to the protection of a switched on device. Fore safety reasons we recommend to chose a screen-lock PIN that differs from the SIM PIN. 

Usually, activation and change of the screen-lock PIN and the SIM card PIN is performed in the Safety section (or similar) of your menu.
