Direct Wall Mounting

If you don’t have a standard wall plate, you can mount your phone directly to the wall. Before mounting your cordless telephone, consider the following:

• Select a location away from electrical cables, pipes, or other items behind the mounting location. Inserting screws into areas such as this can be hazardous.

•

Try to mount your phone within 10 - 15 feet of a working phone jack in order to avoid excessive cord length. Remember, you are not mounting your phone to a wall plate with a built-in phone jack.

• If the selected mounting area has no wooden support beams directly behind it, you will need the appropriate anchoring devices in order for the wall to properly support your phone.

3/16 in.

1) Insert two mounting screws into the wall, with their appropriate anchoring device if necessary,

3-15/16 inches apart. Allow about

3/16 of an inch between the wall and screw heads for mounting the phone.

3 15/16 in.

2) Set the handset retainer.

(Refer to “Setting the Handset Retainer for

Wall Mounting” on page 5.)

3) Plug the AC adapter into the DC input jack on the back of the base and place the cord inside the left molded channel cord holder.
