Ericsson telephone systems again:

Der Sperrcode darf nicht auf eine Funktionstaste programmiert werden, da die Inhalte der Funktionstasten auch bei abgeschlossenem Telefonapparat ausgelesen werden können.

I'm wondering whether "auslesen" is even correct in German - could this be an example of "Sweutsch" (Swedish German) perhaps?

Would "identified" be suitable here?

read off

or read out.

I think it is saying the data can be read from the telephone even when it is locked, or whatever the proper term for gesperrt is.

If the contents of the function keys can be read, then they are displayed ...

Don't think there's anything wrong with the German. I've come across this usage lots!
