Mounting the Phone to the Wall

Chapter 3 Setting Up the Cisco IP Phone

Adjusting the Placement of the Cisco IP Phone

You can mount the Cisco IP Phone on the wall using the footstand as a mounting bracket or you can use special brackets available in a Cisco IP Phone wall mount kit. (Wall mount kits must be ordered separately from the phones.) If you attach the phone to a wall using the standard footstand and not the wall mount kit, you need to supply the following tools and parts:

•Screwdriver

•Screws to secure the Cisco IP phone to the wall

Use the following procedure to mount the phone on the wall using the standard footstand. See Figure 3-2for a graphical overview of this procedure.

Before You Begin

To ensure that the handset attaches securely to a wall-mounted phone, remove the handset wall hook from the handset rest, rotate the hook 180 degrees, and reinsert the hook. Turning the hook exposes a lip on which the handset catches when the phone is vertical. For an illustrated procedure, see Installing the Wall Mount Kit for the Cisco IP Phone.

Procedure

Step 1 Push in the footstand adjustment knob.

Step 2 Adjust the footstand so it is flat against the back of the phone.

Step 3 Insert two screws into a wall stud, matching them to the two screw holes on the back of the footstand.

The keyholes fit standard phone jack mounts.

Step 4 Hang the phone on the wall.
