Mounting the base unit on a wall
(continued)
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 (minimum length of 1- 3/8 inches) with anchoring devices suitable
for the wall material where the base unit will be placed.
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 page 45
and 46 to mount the telephone.
8 On the base unit, pull the handset
retainer out of the slot.
9 Flip the retainer over and 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.
