Chapter 3 Setting Up the Cisco Unified IP Phone
Adjusting the Placement of the Cisco Unified IP Phone
Mounting the Phone to the Wall
You can mount the Cisco Unified IP Phone on the wall by 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 phone.) If you attach the Cisco Unified IP Phone to a wall by 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
See Figure 3-4 for a graphical overview of the phone parts.
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, refer to Installing
the Wall Mount Kit for the Cisco Unified IP Phone at:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/phones/ps379/prod_installation_guides_list.html
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.
