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 3-3

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

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.
