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.
