WALL
If you are not mounting directly onto a modular wall jack, proceed as follows :

3.Mark the wall by poking either a pen or pencil through the indicated spots on the template.
4.If there is no stud at this location, it will be necessary to install the provided wall anchors. Drill a small pilot hole at the marked locations. Tap the anchors into the holes. Then insert screws, but DO NOT TIGHTEN. Leave the screw heads protruding about ¼ inch.
5.If there is a stud at this location, simply install the two screws into the stud. REMEMBER, leave screw head protruding.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If you experience problems with your telephone, try the following suggestions:
NO DIAL TONE

CALLS CANNOT BE DIALED OR DIALED SLOWLY
Check to make sure that the DIAL MODE switch is in the correct position for the type of service available in your area.
TELEPHONE DOES NOT RING
Check that RINGER CONTROL switch is not set to OFF.
If there are several telephones connected to the same line, try disconnecting some of the other telephones. Having too many telephones connected to the same line can cause low ringer volume or poor sound quality during calls.
