Wall Installation
You can mount your phone directly to the wall. Before doing this,
consider the following:
•Select a location away from electrical cables, pipes, or other
items behind the mounting location. Inserting screws into areas
such as this can be hazardous.
•Try to mount your phone within 10 - 15 feet of a working
phone jack in order to avoid excessive cord lengths. Remember,
you are not mounting to a wall plate with a built in phone jack.
•If the selected mounting area has no wooden support beams
directly behind it, you will need the appropriate anchoring
devices in order for the wall to properly support your phone.
1)Insert two mounting screws into the wall, with their appropriate
anchoring device if necessary, 83mm apart. Allow about 5mm
between the wall and screwheads for mounting the phone.
HINT
Before using your
phone, fully charge
the Nickel-Cadmium
battery pack
