Mounting the Phone to the Wall
You can mount the CiscoUnified IP Phone on the wall using the footstand as a
mounting bracket or you can use special brackets available in a CiscoUnified 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 Unified IP phone to the wall
Use the following procedure to mount the phone on the wall using the standard
footstand. See Figure3-3 for 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 Unified IP Phone.
Caution Use care not to damage wires or pipes located inside the wall when securing
screws to wall studs.
Procedure
Step1 Push in the footstand adjustment button.
Step2 Adjust the footstand so it is flat against the back of the phone.
Step3 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.
Step4 Hang the phone on the wall.
