1. Unboxing and Initial Inspection

Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Verify that all items are present:

• Fanvil X4U IP Phone unit
• Handset and Handset Cord
• Ethernet Cable
• Desk Stand
• Power Adapter (if not using PoE)

Inspect the phone for any visible damage. If any components are missing or damaged, contact your vendor immediately.

2. Assembling the Phone

1. Attach the Desk Stand: Align the tabs on the desk stand with the slots on the back of the phone and slide it into place until it clicks securely.
2. Connect the Handset: Plug one end of the coiled handset cord into the handset and the other end into the handset port on the phone base (usually marked with a handset icon).

3. Connecting to the Network and Power

1. Network Connection: Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the LAN port on the phone (often labeled "LAN" or with a network icon) and the other end to a network switch or router.
2. Power Connection:
   • Using PoE (Power over Ethernet): If your network switch supports PoE, the phone will power on automatically once connected to the LAN port. No separate power adapter is needed.
   • Using Power Adapter: If PoE is not available, connect the power adapter to the phone's power port (usually labeled "DC 12V" or with a power icon) and then plug the adapter into a power outlet.
3. PC Connection (Optional): If you need to connect a computer through the phone, connect an Ethernet cable from your computer to the PC port on the phone.

The phone will begin its boot-up sequence. Once complete, it will attempt to obtain an IP address and register with your SIP server.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning the Phone

To maintain the phone's appearance and functionality, clean it regularly:

• Use a soft, dry, non-abrasive cloth to wipe the phone's surfaces.
• For stubborn marks, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.

It is highly recommended to keep your phone's firmware updated to the latest version. Firmware updates often include performance improvements, bug fixes, and new features.
