Direct wall 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.

• Tr y to mount your phone within 5 feet of a working phone jack to avoid excessive cord lengths.

•Make sure the wall material is capable of suppor ting 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.
