Step 5: Install additional cables.

 

Plug the adapter into an AC outlet.

Step 6: Wall-mount your phone (optional). 

Your IP Phone 1120SA can be mounted either 

by: (Method A) using the mounting holes on the bottom of the phone stand, or (Method B) 
using a traditional-style wall-mount box with RJ-45 connector and 15-cm (6-inch) RJ-45 cord 
(not provided).

Complete steps 1-5, as needed, before you wall-mount your phone:

Method A: 

Press the wall-mount lever, and pull the phone away from the stand, as shown in 

Figure 5. Using the stand cover (the part you removed in step 1), mark the wall-mount holes 
by pressing the bottom of the stand cover firmly against the wall in the location where you 
wish to install the phone. Four small pins on the bottom of the stand cover make marks on 
the wall. Use the marks as a guideline for installing the wall-mount screws (not provided). 
Install the screws so that they protrude 3 mm (1/8 inch) from the wall, and then install the 

phone stand mounting holes over the screw heads, as indicated in Figure 4 (Method A). You 
may need to remove the phone from the wall to adjust the lower screws. When the lower 
screws are snug, install the phone on the mounting screws, and then tighten the top screws.

Method B: 

Attach the 15-cm (6-inch) CAT5e cable, position the stand over the mounting 

rivets, and slide the phone down the wall so that the rivets fit into the slots on the stand, 
indicated in Figure 4 (Method B).

Step 7: Replace the stand cover. 

Ensure that all cables are neatly routed and press the 

stand cover into place until you hear a click.

Step 8: Put the phone in the wall-mount position (optional).

 If you wall-mounted your 

phone, put it in the wall-mount position by holding the Tilt Lever and pressing the phone 
towards the base until the phone is parallel with the base. Release the Tilt Lever and 
continue to push the phone towards the base until you hear an audible click. Ensure the 
phone is securely locked in position.
