Lock Your Phone
You can choose how you want your phone to handle incoming calls when it is locked. When you set up
your phone to receive incoming calls when locked (the default setting), incoming calls ring on your phone,
and you can answer calls by entering your user password.
When you set up your phone to ignore incoming calls, Do Not Disturb applies to all lines on your phone,
and your phone does not ring.
Note:
When the Flexible Seating feature is enabled and you are logged in as a guest on a host
phone, the Phone Lock feature is only available if your system administrator has set a 4 -
10 digit guest PIN for your user account. If you do not see the Lock soft key or menu option,
check with your system administrator to see if this feature is available on your phone.
There will be no response when you press the Back key if the phone is locked.
