following fields are locked and are no longer accessible via local programming mode: *20-installer code, *40-*46-
telephone and account numbers, *94-download phone number. However, these fields are accessible by the downloader.

AC, dI 

(disabled) or 

Busy Standby

 and

delay by pressing 

[#] + [0].
