4. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to install the wall mount kit:

1. Select Location: Choose a suitable wall location that is free from obstructions, electrical wiring, and plumbing. Ensure the chosen spot allows for easy access to the telephone and its cables.
2. Mark Drilling Points: Hold the wall mount bracket against the wall at the desired height and orientation. Use a pencil to mark the positions for the mounting screws through the designated screw holes on the bracket.
3. Drill Pilot Holes: Using an appropriate drill bit for your wall material, drill pilot holes at the marked locations. If using wall anchors, insert them into the pilot holes according to their instructions.
4. Secure the Bracket: Align the wall mount bracket with the pilot holes (and anchors, if used). Insert and tighten the mounting screws until the bracket is firmly secured to the wall. Do not overtighten.
5. Attach Telephone: Carefully align the back of your Avaya 1616 or 1416 telephone with the installed wall mount bracket. Slide the telephone onto the bracket, ensuring it clicks securely into place. The telephone should feel stable and not wobble.
6. Connect Cables: Reconnect all necessary cables (network, power, handset) to the telephone. Route cables neatly to avoid strain or entanglement.

5. Operating Instructions

Once installed, the Avaya 1616/1416 Wall Mount Kit functions as a stable base for your telephone. No specific operational steps are required for the mount itself. The telephone operates as usual while mounted.

6. Maintenance

The wall mount kit requires minimal maintenance:

• Cleaning: Wipe the surface of the mount with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
• Periodic Check: Periodically check the mounting screws to ensure they remain tight and the bracket is securely fastened to the wall.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your wall mount kit, consider the following:

• Mount feels loose: Ensure all mounting screws are tightened appropriately. If using wall anchors, verify they are correctly installed and suitable for the wall material.
• Telephone does not fit: Confirm that your telephone is an Avaya 1616 or 1416 series model. This mount is specifically designed for these models.
• Cables are strained: Re-route cables to provide sufficient slack and prevent tension on the connectors.
