Your telephone base is now ready for table top use. If you want to mount
your telephone on a wall, use the provided wall bracket to connect with a

www.RadioShack.com. You might need professional assistance to install the
mounting plate.

(marked B) of the wall bracket into the slots on the back of the telephone
base (marked B). Push the telephone base down until it clicks into place.

3. Plug the telephone line cord (or DSL filter) into the wall jack. Plug the
power adapter into a power outlet not controlled by a wall switch.
