Unlocking and Locking Options
Configuration options that can be changed from a phone are locked by default to prevent users from
making changes that could affect the operation of a phone. You must unlock these options before you
can change them.
When options are inaccessible for modification, a locked padlock icon appears on the configuration
menus. When options are unlocked and accessible for modification, an unlocked padlock icon appears
on these menus, as shown next.
To unlock or lock options, press **#. This action either locks or unlocks the options, depending on the
previous state.
Note If a Settings Menu password has been provisioned, SIP phones present an “Enter password” prompt after
you enter **#.
After you have made your changes, you must lock the options.
Caution Do not press **# to unlock options and then immediately press **# again to lock options. The phone
will interpret this sequence as **#**, which will reset the phone. To lock options after unlocking them,
wait at least 10 seconds before you press **# again.

Editing the Values of an Option Setting
When you edit the value of an option setting, follow these guidelines:
• Use the keys on the keypad to enter numbers and letters.
• To enter letters by using the keypad, use a corresponding number key. Press the key one or more
times to display a particular letter. For example, press the 2 key once for “a,” twice quickly for “b,”
and three times quickly for “c.” After you pause, the cursor automatically advances to allow you to
enter the next letter.
• To enter a period (for example, in an IP address under IPv4 Configuration), press the . (period)
softkey or press * on the keypad.
