User Guide for the Polycom VVX 1500 Business Media Phone Locking and Unlocking the Phone
82 Polycom, Inc.
Lock your phone to do the following:
• Prevent unauthorized outgoing calls.
• Allow only authorized people to answer calls.
• Prevent people from viewing or modifying phone displays or information
(for example, menus, directory lists, call records, and Speed Dial Keys).
When your phone is locked:
• You can only make an outgoing call to a number from a list of authorized
numbers.
• You have to enter a password to answer incoming calls.
• All keys and soft keys are disabled, except those that allow you to unlock
the phone, make an authorized call, redial a number, or view the browser
(if enabled).
You unlock the phone by entering your user password. If your phone restarts
for any reason while it is locked, it will be locked when the phone starts up
again (unless your phone is configured to start up unlocked).
When your phone is locked, the messages “The phone is locked” and
“Authorized calls only” scroll on the status bar. Messages that displayed
before the phone was locked don’t display.
