Page 5-129
Model 8000 series digital endpoints are shipped with a plastic adhesive label that covers the
rectangular wall-mount knockout on the base of the endpoint. A portion of the adhesive label
must be removed to use the wall-mount knockout.
To wall-mount the Model 8000 series digital endpoints, use an industry-standard wall-mount
bracket (sometimes called a wall jack assembly) and a four-inch line cord. Both of these items
are available through the Inter-Tel CommSource
®
division or Inter-Tel Europe.
To prepare the endpoint for wall-mounting (regardless of base type):
1. Remove the metal plate from the base of
the endpoint by removing the two plastic
rivets to unlock it from the back.
2. Slide the cover off. The two plastic rivets
are
not included on endpoints built prior
to May 2005.
3. Use a sharp blade to cut out the
rectangular portion of the adhesive label
covering the wall-mount knockout (see
diagram at right).
The following instructions apply to endpoints that
have a support mechanism (see illustration
below) that fits into holes in the base.
To wall-mount Model 8000 Series digital
endpoints having a support mechanism:
1. Collapse the support mechanism completely and secure it against the bottom housing of
the endpoint, as shown below.
2. Close the base completely so that it lies flat against the endpoint. Make sure the two
rivet holes on the base align with the two rivet holes on the bottom endpoint housing.
IMPORTANT
Inter-Tel recommends not wall-mounting the Model 8000 Series digital
endpoints if users will be frequently connecting and disconnecting cords
(handset, headset, line) and/or cables (Ethernet, USB, power supply). To
connect and disconnect these cords and cables from a wall-mounted
endpoint, users will need to remove the endpoint from the wall.
