Direct wall plate mounting
If you don't have a standard wall plate, you can mount your phone
directly to the wall. Before doing this, consider the following:
• Avoid electrical cables, pipes, or other items behind the mounting
location, that could cause a hazard when inserting screws into
the wall.
• Try to mount your phone within 10 - 15 feet of a working phone
jack to avoid excessive cord lengths.
• Make sure the wall material is capable of supporting the weight of
the base and handset.
• Use # 10 screws with anchoring devices suitable for the wall
material where the base unit will be placed.

Insert two mounting screws
into the wall, (with their
appropriate anchoring device),
3-15/16 inches apart. Allow
about 3/16 of an inch between
the wall and screwheads for
mounting the phone.

Refer to steps 1 through 9 on
page 8 and 9 to mount the
