Disabling the Phone's Speaker Hard Key

The speaker hard key on the phone can be configured to be disabled so that in an office environment, the user won't have the option to use the speaker. Speaker functionality will then be disabled during calls. Pressing the hard key will have no impact and its light will not illuminate. Only use of the handset and headset will be enabled.

The feature complies with requests from customers in whose offices discretion is important (e.g., government).
