Lock Phone
Locking the phone blocks all outgoing calls except those to 911
and to the three user-programmed emergency numbers. You can
lock the phone manually, or set the phone to lock automatically
when turned on. In Lock mode, you can answer calls, but you
must unlock the phone to place calls (except to emergency and
secret numbers).
Important!:
If you change the
NAM1
setting after setting the phone to lock
upon power-up and did not program a number into
NAM2
, you
won’t be able to access your phone. You must call the Service
Center to unlock your phone.
