Engineering menu will be switched off when you turn off the phone.
*#9990#	Battery monitor, battery test. Unfortunatelly meaning of the first line is unknown, battery power left in percents.M1599955 - counter of relative time left until battery discharged. (in 0.1 s), 31 - battery temperature (in degrees Centigrade) , 68 - battery voltage (in 0,1V), TIMER - charging/discharging time counter (in seconds)
*#9000#	Simlock causes that the phone ask for password when new card is inserted.
*#9001#	Group SIM Lock - this option is not well known and it probably requires special sim card. THis option probably gives you possibility to limit access only to preprogrammed numbers..
*#9002#	Operator SIM Lock - this option is not well known and it probably requires special sim card.
*#9003#	Network SIM Lock - the phone ask for password when other operator's card is inserted.
