Securing Your Phone with the Security Slot
The security slot is located on the top, left, or right side of the phone and is indicated by a padlock symbol.
See the hardware figure for your phone in the Overview of Phone Hardware and Keys section for the
location of the security slot on your phone.
By fastening one end of a universal security cable to a stationary object such as a desk or table, and the
other end to the security slot available on Polycom VVX phones, you can prevent your phone from being
stolen or otherwise removed. Contact the universal security cable manufacturer directly for more information
on securing your phone.
