WMK adapter
The Wall Mount Kit (WMK) adapter (DP-9800-WMK-88ADP=) offers a quick and convenient solution for users upgrading from the Cisco IP Phone 8800 series to the Cisco Desk Phone 9800 Series. If you already have a wall mount setup for the 8800 series, there's no need to uninstall or replace the entire kit. Instead, you can use the WMK adapter to securely mount a 9800 series phone onto the existing 8800 series wall bracket.
The adapter package contains the following items:
- One WMK Adapter
- Three M3 L5 screws
Follow these steps to install your 9800 series phone using the existing 8800 series wall mount bracket:
| 1 |
Plug the handset cable into the Handset port on the back of the 9800 series phone and secure the cable into the cable notch. |
| 2 |
Attach the WMK Adapter to the back of the phone and fasten it with the three provided screws.
|
| 3 |
Plug in the Ethernet cable and the power cord. |
| 4 |
Attach the phone to the 8800 series wall bracket by inserting the tabs on the top of the wall bracket into the slots on the adapter. For cables that don't terminate behind the wall, route them through the cable-access openings at the bottom of the wall bracket. These openings are designed to accommodate the power cord and any other external cables. When aligned, the openings on the adapter and the wall bracket form circular passthroughs, each sized to fit one cable per opening. |
| 5 |
Firmly press the phone into the wall bracket, then slide it downward until the bracket tabs click into place. |
Remove the phone from the wall
The wall bracket has two tabs that lock the adapter. These tabs must be released before you can remove the phone from the wall mount kit.
Before you begin
Obtain two Phillips head screwdrivers or other similar devices that have a diameter of 5 millimeters or 3/16 inch.
| 1 |
Insert a screwdriver into the holes on the left and right sides of the wall bracket, then press firmly inward to disengage the tabs. |
| 2 |
Lift the phone to release it from the wall bracket, then pull it toward you.
