Abstract
A mobile communication terminal includes an IC card, a power supply, and a control section. The IC card stores an identification number. The power supply supplies power to the mobile communication terminal. The control section can set the mobile communication terminal to a communication possible state when the power is supplied from the power supply and an entered identification number is coincident with the identification number stored in the IC card. Also, the control section can set the mobile communication terminal to the communication possible state depending on a power down time period without an entering operation of the identification number when the supply of the power to the mobile communication terminal is stopped and then recovered.

A mobile communication terminal comprising:
- an IC card which stores an identification number;
- a power supply which supplies power to said mobile communication terminal;
- a control section which can set said mobile communication terminal to a communication possible state when said power is supplied from said power supply and an entered identification number is coincident with said identification number stored in said IC card, and can set said mobile communication terminal to the communication possible state depending on a power down time period without an entering operation of said identification number when the supply of said power to said mobile communication terminal is stopped and then recovered.
A method of setting a mobile communication terminal to a communication possible state, comprising the steps of:
- (a) supplying power from a power supply;
- (b) entering an identification number from an operation unit;
- (c) comparing the entered identification number with an identification number stored in an IC card;
- (d) setting said mobile communication terminal to said communication possible state when said power is supplied from said power supply and an entered identification number is coincident with said identification number stored in said IC card;
- and
- (e) setting said mobile communication terminal to said communication possible state depending on a power down time period without said (b) entering step when the supply of said power from said power supply is downed and then recovered.
