Mounting the Phone to the Wall

You can mount the Cisco Unified IP Phone on the wall using the footstand as a mounting bracket or you can use special brackets available in a Cisco Unified 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 Figure 3-3for 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

Step 1 Push in the footstand adjustment button.

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.
