Direct Wall Mounting
If you do not have a standard wall plate, you can mount your phone directly on a wall. Before mounting your phone, consider the following:
∙Select a location away from electrical cables, pipes, or other items behind the mounting location that could cause a hazard when inserting screws into the wall.
∙Make sure the wall material is capable of supporting the weight of the Base Unit and Handset.
∙Use #10 screws with anchoring devices suitable for the wall material where the Base Unit will be placed.
1. Insert two mounting screws 315¤16 inches apart. Allow about
3¤16 of an inch between the wall and screw heads for mounting the phone.
