Cisco IP Phone Key Expansion Module Setup Overview
Key expansion modules add extra line appearances, speed dials, or programmable buttons to the phone. The
programmable buttons can be set up as phone line buttons, speed-dial buttons, or phone feature buttons
The slots in the side of the phone are designed only for use with the spine connectors on the key expansion
module. Insertion of other objects permanently damages the phone.

When adding features to your expansion module, remember that each line button supports only one feature.
You cannot add more features than the number of programmable line keys on your expansion module.

Key Expansion Module Power Information
If you use a key expansion module with your phone then Power over Ethernet (PoE) is enough to power your
expansion modules. But a power cube is needed for smartphone or tablet charging when your expansion
module is attached.
A key expansion module uses 48V DC, 5W per module. If you are charging a smartphone or a tablet, note
the following:
•Side USB: Up to 500mA/2.5W charging
•Back USB: Fast charging, Supports up to 2.1A/10.5W charging
