Assembling System Phones, Desk Mounting

Assembling System Phones

You can either desk mount or wall mount a system phone. If the system phone is manufactured with a separate stand, you can use the stand to either wall mount the phone or raise the angle of the phone when desk mounting. (The stand is required for MLS-34D phones.) Alternatively, some system phones—such as the MLS-18D—are manufactured with a fixed stand. Any instructions below for installing the stand do not apply to this type of phone. (Wall mounting is not recommended for display phones.)

Desk Mounting

1 A) Plug one end of the handset cord into the jack on the handset and the other end into the small jack on the left side of the base. For an MLS-34D phone, go directly to Step 2.

B)Plug one end of the phone cord into the jack on the bottom of the phone. If the phone has multiple jacks, plug the cord into the GRAY jack.

C)Push the cord into place along the channel on the bottom of the phone.

D)If you want to raise the angle of the phone, go to Step 2; if not—or if you have a phone with a fixed stand—go to Step 3.

2 A) To install the telephone stand (required for the MLS-34D), gently place the phone upside down, with the low end of the phone to your right.

B)Insert the tab on the narrow end of the stand into the right slot on the bottom of the phone. (For an MLS-34D phone, feed the cord through the hole in the center of the stand and plug it in.)

C)Insert the other tab into the left slot, pushing the stand down and slightly inward until the tab locks into place.

3 A) Turn the phone over so it is right side up.

B)Remove the plastic cover from the phone. Label the button sheet to show any programmed lines or button features, then place it on the phone so the holes on the sheet fit over the buttons. Carefully replace the plastic cover.

C)Slide the Quick Reference card under the telephone.
