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.
• Use #10 screws (minimum length of 1-3/8 inches) with anchoring devices
suitable for the wall material where the base unit will be placed.
1) Insert two mounting screws into the wall, (with their
appropriate anchoring device), 3-15/16 inches apart.
Allow about 1/8 of an inch between the wall and screw heads
for mounting the phone.
2) Set the retainer clip if necessary.
3) Refer to steps 1 through 7 on page 17 to mount the telephone.
