Wall Mounting on a Wall Plate
Your FT365 telephone is also designed to be mounted on a wall, which uses the
“One Jack” option. Insert one plug of the short line cord into the wall jack, and
insert the other plug into the telephone jack marked “LINE1+2”, making sure the
plugs snap firmly in place, You can weave the cord through the notches on the
bottom of the base. Position the wall mount slots on the bottom of the base over
the two studs on the wall plate. Push down to lock in place.

wall, fasten two screws (not included) into the wall, using anchors for secure
assembly. Locate the screws 3 1/4 apart vertically. They should extend 3/16 from
the wall. Insert one plug of long 4-wire line cord into the wall jack, and insert the
other plug into the telephone jack marked “LINE1+2”, making sure the plugs
snap firmly in place. You can weave the cord through the notches on the bottom
of the base, Position the wall mount slots on the bottom of the base over the two
screws on the wall. Push down to lock in plage.
