Attaching footstand and handset

The footstand can be attached at two different angles: 46° and 28°.

Note: Before attaching the footstand to the phone, plug the long end of the handset cord into the connector labelled "" on the back of the phone and place the cord in the cable guide.

1. Place the top of the grooves on the footstand below the slideguides on the back of the phone.

2. Push the footstand upwards onto the slideguides until they lock in place.

3. Plug the short end of the handset cord into the connector on the handset.

4. Place the phone on an even, horizontal surface.

Wall mounting

Not included in the delivery are the two screws (diameter of head between 6 and 9 mm, diameter of body max. 4.5 mm) and two screw anchors/molly bolts/wall plugs appropriate for your type of wall.

  1. Anchor the screws in the wall.
  2. Unscrew the slide guides for the footstand from the back of the phone.
  3. Plug the long end of the handset cord into the connector labelled " " on the back of the phone and place the cord in the cable guide.
  4. Hang the phone on the screws by placing the holes on the back of the phone over them.

          

Rotating the tab of the cradle

The phone is delivered with the tab level with the inner edge of the cradle. If you are going to mount the phone on a wall, we recommend that you rotate the tab 180°. After rotation, the tip of the tab will protrude slightly above the edge of the "cradle". The small rectangular hole in the receiver casing fits perfectly over the now protruding tip, holding the receiver safely in place in the upright position on the wall.

  1. Slide the plastic tab from the cradle.
  2. Rotate the tab 180°.
  3. Slide the tab back into the cradle. The top of the tab now protrudes slightly above the inner edge of the cradle, so that it will hold the handset more securely.

Connecting the phone

(1) If PoE not available
(2) Not included in delivery
(3) Optional

The phone can be operated with Power over Ethernet (PoE) provided via the network cable or, if PoE is not available in your network, with the separately available 5V DC power adapter.

  1. Plug the long uncurled end of the 4P4C handset cord into the connector labelled , and connect the short one to the handset.

  2. Plug the Ethernet (network) cable into the RJ45 connector labelled NET and plug the other end into the network side to establish a data link.

  3. If PoE is not available, insert the plug of the power supply into the connector labelled 5V DC and hook up the plug to the wall outlet.

  4. The other RJ45 connector, labelled PC, is for daisy-chaining further Ethernet devices without the need for a second Ethernet connection line.
