Locking the keypad turns off keypad functionality. This is a helpful feature if, for example, the phone is turned on and in your pocket, and you want to prevent accidental keypresses.
Press the POWER button briefly to display the Quick List then select Key lock. Once the keypad is locked, the left SOFT KEY label changes to Unlock
Note You can still receive calls and make emergency calls when the keypad is locked.
