2 Setting up the Telephone Expander
Warning: to prevent electrical shocks from damaging the phone or telephone expander, use either an
antistatic (or ESD) wrist strap or floor mat when connecting the telephone expander to the phone.
2.1 Connecting the Telephone Expander to an Allworx Phone
Follow these steps to connect the telephone expander:
1. Remove all cables (power, Ethernet(s) and handset/headset) and the base assembly from the phone.
2. Lay the phone and the telephone expander face down on a soft surface with the top of the phone and
telephone expander pointed away from you.
3. Remove the telephone expander cover from the back side of the phone. (see picture below):
a. Remove the two (2) screws that secure the telephone expander cover to the phone. (1) and (2)
b. Remove the telephone expander cover. This will expose the phone’s telephone expander
connector and a third screw hole.

5. Connect the ribbon cable from the telephone expander to the phone’s telephone expander connector.
6. Rotate the telephone expander down until it sits on the phone.
7. Secure the telephone expander to the phone back using the three screws (see picture below).
8. Repeat steps 4 through 6 for each additional telephone expander to be connected, where each
additional telephone expander will be connected to the previous expander.
9. Attach the telephone expander cover to the back side of the last telephone expander. Secure with two
(2) screws.
2.2 Base Assembly and Adjusting the Angle (optional)
You can adjust the angle of the phone and telephone expander(s) on their bases so that it is easy to use and
easy to read the screen.
1. Lay the connected phone and telephone expander(s) face down on a soft surface with top of the phone
pointed away from you.
2. Each of the bases will connect to the back of the phone and telephone expander(s) in one of three
positions, thus allowing the phone with the telephone expander(s) to be adjusted at different angles
when sitting on a desktop. The nearest set of holes to you provides the steepest angle.
3. Notice that the bases have both fixed and flexible tabs. Hold the base with the tabs pointed away, fixed
tabs down and flexible tabs up.
4. Place the fixed tabs in the desired holes on the back of the phone and telephone expander(s).
5. Rotate the base until the flexible tabs click into place.
To remove the bases:
1. Press down on the flexible tabs and release them from their holes.

2. Rotate the base until the fixed tabs easily lift out of their holes.
2.3 Connecting the Phone
After completing the assembly of the telephone expander, connect all cables to the phone. See the phone
user’s guide for instructions on connecting cables to the phone. After the phone has been powered up and
registered to an Allworx server, configure the telephone expander’s Programmable Function Keys from the
Phone System>Handset page of the System Administrator.
2.4 Changing the Labels for the PFKs (Programmable Function Keys)
To avoid misdialing, update the PFK labels whenever a PFK configuration is changed. To add or change a
label:
1. Remove the paper from beneath the plastic label cover by lifting the bottom tab of the plastic cover to
release it.
2. Add text in the space corresponding to the desired PFK.
3. Place the label onto the phone and snap the cover back into place.

2.5 Connecting Additional Telephone Expanders
Up to three telephone expanders can be connected to an Allworx phone. For phones with telephone expanders
currently connected, follow the previous instructions in this section to connect additional expanders. The one
exception (section 2.1, step 3) is that the telephone expander cover must be removed from the last connected
expander rather than from the phone.
