microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting.
• Be sure there is sufficient space to raise the base antenna to a vertical position.
• The base can be placed on a desk, tabletop, or mounted on a standard wall plate.

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 6-10 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 screwheads for mounting the phone.
2) Set the retainer clip if necessary.
