Firstly, insert the stand into the highlighted slots on the back of the phone.
You can have the stand two different ways. Either slide the hooks into the
slots highlighted in red, or for a more upright position, insert them in the
slots highlighted in blue. Once you’ve inserted the stand, slide it up to lock
it in place.
Now you need to connect the Ethernet cable from your Router/Switch to the LAN port on the back of the phone, highlighted in red below. If you are limited on network ports, and need a con-nection for your computer, then you connect an ethernet cable from the PC port of the phone to your PC. The phone will then pass it’s connection through to your computer.
Next, connect the receiver to the red highlighted handset port. If you are connecting a headset then use the port highlighted blue. The receiver and headsets ports use the same connector, so make sure you use the correct ports otherwise they won’t work.
Once the receiver is connected you can power up your new handset. Insert the
power cable into the base unit and plug it in. The handset will power up and
show a loading screen on the display
