Locking and Unlocking the Keypad
To avoid making inadvertent calls, you can lock your keypad so that key presses are not recognized. You must unlock
the keypad before you can make calls. Check with your system administrator if this feature is not available and for
information on the timeout value. By default, Keypad lock is on with a timeout value of 0, which means it will lock as
soon as it is enabled.
Settings: Emergency calling options while the keypad is locked
If configured in your facility, you could have one of these options available for making an emergency call while the
keypad is locked:
•
A New Call softkey opens an Authorized Call menu with up to five numbers listed that can be dialed by scrolling to
select and pressing OK or by pressing the corresponding keypad number.
•
The PTT button on the left side of the handset can be configured to make an emergency call. Press it once to
test this functionality. If configured for emergency dial, a popup will explain that if you press the key twice within
2seconds, an emergency call will be placed.
