On a Wall

To mount the phone directly on a wall, you need two screws (not supplied) with heads that fit into the keyhole slots on the bottom of the base. Follow the steps under “On a Wall Plate” on Page 7, then apply these additional instructions for placement on a wall.

1. Drill two holes 315/16 inches (100 mm) apart. Then thread a screw into each hole, letting the heads extend about 5/16 inch (8 mm) from the wall.

2.Plug one end of the supplied long modular cord into the TEL LINE jack at the back of the base.

3.Align the bracket's keyhole slots with the mounting screws and slide the base downward to secure it.

CONNECTING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK

The phone comes with a rechargeable nickel-cadmium battery pack installed in the handset, but not connected. Before using your phone, you must connect the battery pack, then charge it for about 24 hours.

1.Press down and slide off the battery pack compartment cover.

2.Lift the battery pack out of the com- partment. Plug the battery pack's connector into the socket in the compartment. The connector fits only one way.

3.Put the battery pack in the compart- ment.

4.Replace the cover.

To charge the battery pack, simply place the handset on the base, facing either up or down. The CHARGE/IN USE indi- cator on the base lights.

Recharge the battery pack when Low Battery flashes on the handset's dis- play.
