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.

1

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.

2

Refer to steps 1 through 9 on
pages 8 and 9 to mount the
telephone.

On the base unit, pull the
handset retainer out of the slot.
Rotate it clockwise 180
degrees.

Flip the retainer from front to
back. Slide it back into the slot
so that the lip of the retainer is
up and the oval is down. The
retainer holds the handset in
place.
