Tips

If you enable the Phone Lock feature and have not changed the password, enter 12345 (default password) to unlock the phone.

If you change the Phone Lock password and forget it, you must contact the system administrator to have the phone unlocked and reset. You will lose all your personal settings including your Phone Book entries.

Be aware that restoring factory default settings erases your Speed Dial, Call History, and customized settings. The network settings are changed to defaults so your phone cannot access the network. Only Phone Book data is preserved.

The system administrator uses the USB port only for phone configuration. When the phone is powered off, the USB port reverts to disabled.
