Adjusting the Placement of the Cisco Unified IP Phone
The Cisco Unified IP Phone includes an adjustable footstand. When placing the phone on a desktop
surface, you can adjust the tilt height to several different angles in 7.5 degree increments from flat to 60
degrees. You can also mount these phones to the wall using the footstand or using the optional locking
wall mount kit.
Adjusting Cisco Unified IP Phone Footstand and Phone Height
You can adjust the footstand adjustment plate on the Cisco Unified IP Phone to the height that provides
optimum viewing of the phone screen. See
Figure 3-2 for more information.
Procedure
Step 1 Push in the footstand adjustment button.
Step 2 Adjust the footstand to desired height.
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 phone.) If you attach the Cisco
Unified IP 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
See Figure 3-2 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.
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.
