Mounting the Phone to the Wall

You can mount the Cisco IP Phone on the wall by removing the footstand and using the mounting bracket on the back of the phone, or you can use special brackets available in a Cisco IP Phone wall mount kit. (A wall mount kit must be ordered separately from the phone.) If you attach the Cisco IP Phone to the 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 its mounting bracket.

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.
