Footstand

The Cisco Unified IP Phone 3905 has a foldable footstand. When the footstand is unfolded, it gives the phone an elevated viewing angle.

Adjust handset rest

Your system administrator may have mounted your phone on a wall. With a wall-mounted phone, you might need to adjust the handset rest to ensure that the receiver does not slip out of the cradle.

Procedure

---

Step 1	Remove the handset from the cradle and pull the plastic tab from the handset rest.
Step 2	Rotate the tab 180 degrees.
Step 3	Hold the tab between two fingers, with the corner notches facing you. Make sure the tab lines up evenly with the slot in the handset cradle.
Step 4	Press the tab evenly into the slot. An extension protrudes from the top of the rotated tab.
Step 5	Return the handset to the handset rest.
