Wall Mounting 

THE GH5811 CAN BE MOUNTED ON A STANDARD WALL PHONE PLATE. IF 
ONE IS NOT AVAILABLE, IT CAN ALSO BE MOUNTED ON TWO SCREWS (NOT 
INCLUDED), INSTALLED 3-1/4” APART VERTICALLY IN THE WALL. LEAVE 
3/16” OF EACH SCREW EXPOSED FOR MOUNTING THE UNIT.  
A.  Connect the wall mount stand to the bottom of the base in the wall mount position. 

You can remove the bracket from the base by pushing on the bracket tab.

TEL.LINE located at the back of the base.

mount stand, and plug into the telephone wall jack. 

D.  Connect the DC adaptor into the back of the unit and plug the other end to the 

110/120 volt AC outlet. 

E.  Position the wall mount slots on the bottom of the bracket over the two studs on the 

wall plate. Pull down and lock into place. 

   Keep antenna on base at a fixed length for best reception.   
F.  Place the handset into the base. Make sure that the handset guide (on the base) fits 

securely into the slot underneath the handset earpiece. The handset will beep, and the 
CHARGE LED will light. The LCD should display  “Initialization” for 2 minutes and 
then return to standby mode display. During these 2 minutes, user can pick up the 
phone and operate it in standby mode.   

 

Handset Battery Charging 

The battery pack in the handset must be fully charged for about 16 hours before using the 
telephone.

handset will display “BATTERY LOW” on the second line of the LCD. 

b.  If the battery becomes low while you are on a call  terminate the call quickly and put 

handset in the base to recharge the battery.  

c.  Remember to plug in the battery adaptor. Otherwise, there will be no response. 
d.  The battery will hold its charge for several days out of the cradle, depending on use.

2.  Remove old battery 
3.  Install new battery 
4.  Close battery cover.   
5.  Place the handset on the base unit. In the first 2 minutes, the LCD will display
