Lock Your Phone - Polycom VVX 150 User Manual

Consider locking your phone if you want to:
• Prevent unauthorized outgoing calls.
• Allow only authorized people to answer calls.
• Prevent people from viewing or modifying phone information, such as your directory, call lists, or
favorites.
When your phone is locked, you can:
• Place outgoing calls to emergency and authorized numbers only.
• Enter a password to answer incoming calls.
• View the browser, if enabled.
When your phone is locked, a message displays on the status bar informing you that the phone is locked
and that only authorized calls are allowed. Any messages that displayed before the phone was locked do
not display.

Lock Your Phone

You can choose how you want your phone to handle incoming calls when it is locked. When you set up
your phone to receive incoming calls when locked (the default setting), incoming calls ring on your phone,
and you can answer calls by entering your user password.
When you set up your phone to ignore incoming calls, Do Not Disturb applies to all lines on your phone,
and your phone does not ring.
Note: When the Flexible Seating feature is enabled and you are logged in as a guest on a host phone,
the Phone Lock feature is only available if your system administrator has set a 4 - 10 digit guest
PIN for your user account. If you do not see the Lock soft key or menu option, check with your
system administrator to see if this feature is available on your phone.
Procedure
1. Select Lock or navigate to Settings > Basic > Lock Phone.
2. From the Lock Phone screen, select Allow ringing when locked (the default setting) if you want
your phone to ring when you have an incoming call.
When you choose this option, you can answer a call by entering your user password or guest PIN.
3. Select Lock.
Your phone is locked.
Tip: You can quickly lock your phone by selecting the Lock soft key. When you do this, you
cannot choose how to handle incoming calls. Your phone uses the default setting or the
last setting selected.
