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.
1Insert 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.
2Refer to steps 1 through 9 on pages
47 to 48 to mount the telephone.
8On the base unit, pull the handset
retainer out of the slot. Rotate it clock-
wise 180 degrees.
9Flip the retainer from front to back.
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.
