Unlocking and Locking Options
You can apply a password to the phone so that no changes can be made to the administrative options on
the phone without the password being entered on the Administrator Settings phone screen.
To apply a password to the phone, in Cisco Unified Communications Manager administration, navigate
to the Common Phone Profile Configuration window (Device > Device Settings > Common Phone
Profile). Enter a password in the Local Phone Unlock Password option. Apply the password to the
common phone profile that the phone uses.

Editing Values
When you edit the value of an option setting, follow these guidelines:
• Use the arrows on the navigation pad to highlight the field you wish to edit, then press the Select
button of the navigation pad to activate that field. (You can also double-tap on an editable field to
activate it for editing.) Once the field is activated, you can enter values.
• Use the keys on the keypad to enter numbers and letters.
• To enter letters by using the keypad, use a corresponding number key. Press the key one or more
times to display a particular letter. For example, press the 2 key once for “a,” twice quickly for “b,”
and three times quickly for “c.” After you pause, the cursor automatically advances to allow you to
enter the next letter.
• Press the arrow softkey if you make a mistake. This softkey deletes the character to the left of
the cursor.
• Press the Cancel softkey before pressing the Save softkey to discard any changes that you have
made.
• To enter an IP address, you enter values into four segments already divided for you. When you are
done entering the leftmost digits before the first period, use the right arrow key to move to the next
segment. The period that follows the leftmost digits is automatically inserted.
Note The Cisco Unified IP Phone provides several methods you can use to reset or restore option settings, if
necessary. For more information, see the “Resetting the Cisco Unified IP Phone” section on page 12-15.
