Pull the cords from behind the backplane, leaving at leas[...]

Connecting Caller ID Display Units To get Caller ID information for an extension, you must first subscribe to the service (on a per-line basis) from your local telephone company, then connect the units as described here. You must connect the Caller ID display unit directly to the line that supports Caller ID at the network interface jack. Additiona[...]

Assembling System Phones You can either desk mount or wall mount a system phone. If the system phone is manufactured with a separate stand, you can use the stand to either wall mount the phone or raise the angle of the phone when desk mounting. (The stand is required for MLS-34D phones.) Alternatively, some system phones—such as the MLS-18D—are[...]

Wall Mounting If you wall mount a display phone, the display may be difficult to read, so desk mounting is recommended. (Wall mounting instructions apply to corded MLS-model phones only. To wall mount an MLC-6 cordless phone, follow the instructions in the booklet provided with the phone.) Wall Mounting Phones with Separate Stands 1 Reverse the pla[...]
