900-MHz Digital Spread Spectrum Technology utilizes a “wider frequency band” vs. a “single narrow band” used in standard digital transmissions. The result is the clarity of digital sound, extended range and a secure conversation with virtually no interference from other 900-MHz cordless phones or radio transmission devices.

The clearest channel is automatically selected for each transmission. The phone selects one of over 65,000 digital security codes for the handset and base.

These features enhance your phone’s security and also prevent unauthorized calls as a result of your phone being activated by other equipment.

Direct wall-mounting

If you do not have a standard wall plate, you can still 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 (3 – 4.5 m) 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 with anchoring devices suitable for the wall material where the base

unit will be placed.

Insert two mounting screws with a minimum length of 1-3/8 inches (35.5 mm) into the wall, 3-15/16 inches (100 mm) apart. Allow about 3/16 of an inch (4.8 mm) between the wall and screwheads for mounting the phone.

Refer to steps 1 through 9 on pages 7 and 8 to mount the telephone.

On the base unit, pull the handset retainer out of the slot. Rotate it clockwise 180 degrees.

Flip the retainer. Slide it back into the slot so that the lip of the retainer is up and the points down. The retainer holds the handset in place.

When the belt clip is attached onto the handset, you can hang the handset on the wall-mounted base with the keypad facing inside only.
