• Base unit
• Coiled handset cord
• User guide
• Handset
• Clear plastic overlay

mounting eyelet on the bracket is facing in the same direction as
the other mounting eyelet located on the bottom of the telephone.

the mounting bracket slots (located near the middle of the tele-
phone). Then firmly push down to insert the retaining tabs on the
opposite side of the mounting bracket.
