The Diamond Series phone can be converted for
wall mounting applications. The conversion is
easiest when the handset and line cords are not
connected.

1. Located on the top of the telephone above
the speaker grill is the wall/desk mount
clip. Remove this clip by firmly pushing
upward (towards the hookswitch).

2. Flip the clip over (top to bottom) so that
the protruding edge is towards the top of
the phone, and reinsert into cutout. This
protruding edge will hold the handset.

3. Turn the telephone over so the bottom is
up, facing you. Place the telephone on a
non-abrasive surface to prevent scratching.

4. Locate and remove the mounting bracket,
firmly push back and pull up to remove two
of the four retaining tabs.

5. Rotate the mounting bracket 180 degrees
clockwise so that the mounting eyelet on
the bracket is facing in the same direction
as the other mounting eyelet located on
the bottom of the telephone.

6. Insert the top two retaining tabs of the
mounting brackets into the mounting
bracket slots (located near the middle of
the telephone). Then firmly push down to
insert the retaining tabs on the opposite
side of the mounting bracket.

7. Connect a short modular line cord into the
jack on the back of the phone (labeled LINE).
Route the line cord through the line cord
channel. Connect the other end of line cord
to the phone jack on the wall mounting plate.

8. Turn the telephone over, and slide the
telephone down onto the mounting posts
in downward direction. Both eyelets should
line up with the mounting posts.

9. Complete the wall mounting by installing
the handset and handset cord.
