Direct wall mounting

▼

If you don't have a standard wall plate, 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,
3-15/16 inches apart. Allow about
3/16 of an inch between the wall
and screwheads for mounting
the phone.
