  • Ensure that the Avaya Vantage™ device is not connected to a power source.

Procedure

  2. On the left side of the Avaya Vantage™ device, remove the rubber gasket that protects the cradle connector pins.

    One cradle connector pin is closed so that you can position the cradle in the correct direction.

    Bend the cradle cable to make an arc so that you can join the cable with the cradle connector easily.

  5. Optional For K165 or K175, connect the handset cradle stand crossbar to the slot in the Avaya Vantage™ stand.
