Getting Started

Wall Mounting

The wall mount brackets are designed for use on standard wall mount plates 

only. Wall mounting is optional. Only the handset chargers (not the main base 

unit) can be wall mounted.

.   Plug the power adapters into electrical outlets, and the connector to the bot-

tom of the handset charger.

2.   Line up the tabs on the wall mount brackets with the holes at the back of the 

handset charger. Snap the wall mount bracket firmly in place.

3.  Mount the handset charger on the wall. Position the handset charger so the 

mounting studs will fit into the holes on the wall mount bracket. Slide handset 

charger down on the mounting studs until it locks into place.
