Adjusting the Handset Rest (Optional)

Cisco recommends adjusting the handset rest, particularly when wall-mounting the phones, as this will ensure that the receiver will not readily slip out of the cradle. See the table below for instructions.

Rotate the tab 180 degrees.

Slide the tab back into the handset rest. An extension protrudes from the top of the rotated tab. Return the handset to the handset rest.
