3. View the initialization progress on the phone screen. A normal sequence includes:

• Allworx Logo

• Configuring Network

• Starting network

• Loading configuration files

• Station Init complete

After successful startup, the phone displays a combination of the date, time, user
presence, user name, and extension or the phone display may suggest assigning the
handset to a user. If this occurs, follow the on screen directions. If the phone does not
follow this sequence or displays an error, contact the Allworx Server Administrator.

2.2 Adjust the Phone Angle

The phone base angle adjusts for easier phone screen reading.

To adjust the phone base angle:

1. Unplug the phone from the PoE or the power supply. Remove the handset from the hook
and lay the phone face down on a soft surface.

2. Hold the base with the fixed tabs facing the bottom of the phone. Select one of the three
available positions to connect the base to the phone. The set of holes at the bottom of
the phone provides the steepest angle.

3. Place the fixed tabs in the preferred holes on the back of the phone. Rotate the phone
base upwards until the flexible tabs click into place.

To remove the base:

1. Remove the handset from the hook and lay the phone face down on a soft surface.

2. Press down on the flexible tabs and rotate the base towards the phone bottom until the
fixed tabs easily lift out of the holes.

2.3 Volume Adjustment

The volume of the incoming ring, handset, speaker phone, and the headset is adjustable.

bar. The phone screen displays which audio path is being adjusted.

2. Press the volume bar to – (decrease) or + (increase) the audio level.

2.4 Wall Mounting (Optional)

If using a standard telephone wall mount plate, DO NOT connect to the RJ-11 jack. This
connection is for analog phones and may cause damage to the Allworx phone, which
voids the warranty.

2.4.1 Wall Mounting Plate

Mounting the Allworx phone on a wall requires a mounting plate that meets the TIA-570-B,
Section standard and is available from a local telephone company or local retailer. The
mounting plate has studs that position the Allworx phone flush to the wall surface.

Remove the Allworx phone base and mount the phone over the mounting plate studs. All power
and RJ-45 cable connections should exit between the phone back and the wall, and then routed
to the network connection and/or a power connection.

2.4.2 Handset Retainer Clip

The handset retainer clip prevents the handset from slipping out of the phone cradle while
hanging on a wall.The Allworx phone ships with the adjustable handset retainer clip in the wall
mount position on the phone cradle.

To adjust the retainer clip for desktop use (for easier handset removal/hang-up) insert a coin in
the retainer clip slot and turn the coin clockwise, 180 degrees. To return the retainer clip to the
wall mount position, insert a coin in the retainer clip slot and turn the coin counter-clockwise,
