 Plug in the phone 
The phone can be powered either via a power adapter (sold separately) or via Power over Ethernet 
(PoE). 
 USB boost 
The USB boost feature allows a desk phone to get more power available from Power over Ethernet 
(PoE) than requested through a default startup, for several needs such as more USB current for 
accessories (smartphone charging). In this case, your administrator has to enable the USB Boost to 
deliver more power. After restart, the phone changes its USB current limiter management, to increase 
the available power from 500 mA to 900 mA and can change of PoE class. 
Contact your administrator if necessary.
