- Attach the stand to the main phone unit. The stand can be adjusted for different viewing angles.
- Connect the coiled handset cord to the handset port on the phone unit.
- Connect the other end of the coiled handset cord to the handset.

- Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the Internet port on the phone.
- Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a PoE-enabled switch or router.
