The feature secures the phone against unwanted (mis)use.
Note:
• The network administrator must enable both the Skype for Business server and the
Web interface for the feature to function. If enabled in the server but disabled in the
the Web interface, the feature will not function.
• The timeout is set in the Skype for Business server only.
When the phone is locked:
Incoming calls are allowed
Outgoing calls are not allowed except for calls to emergency numbers (police,
ambulance service, firefighting service, etc.) which will be available via the
Emergency softkey displayed after the phone locks.
Voice Mail, Call Log, Calendar and Contacts cannot be accessed
To enable the feature:
Open the Configuration File page (Management tab > Manual Update >
Configuration File) and configure the parameter using the table below as reference.

Note: If a user's phone was automatically paired (see Section 4.12.7) and if the PC/laptop
is active (not locked), the phone cannot be manually locked. The user can manually lock
it only after locking the PC/laptop. If the user doesn't manually lock the phone, it will
nevertheless automatically lock after the timeout preconfigured in the Skype for Business

user manually unlocks the phone.
