Introduction

If the plastic sensor cover on your Cisco Meraki MC74-HW phone holder is damaged or missing, use this guide to replace it.

The phone sensor cover is necessary so the phone covers the sensor and the device realizes that it needs to end the call. If this component is not working properly, calls may not end when the phone is placed back into its holder.

There are no special skills necessary to complete this repair.

Make sure to unplug the device from all power before performing this repair.
