Phone won't turn on

Check power and network when the screen stays blank.

Most office phones get power through the network cable (PoE).

Steps

  1. Check the network cable is firmly plugged into the port marked Internet, LAN or Network on the phone.
  2. Try a different wall port or switch port that you know works.
  3. If your office doesn't supply power over the cable, plug in the phone's power adapter.
  4. Try another phone on the same cable.If that also stays blank, the problem is the cable or switch.
