items behind the mounting location that could cause a hazard
when inserting screws into the wall.
• Mount your phone within 10 feet of a working phone jack.
• Make sure the wall material can support the weight of the base
and handset. Use anchoring devices if necessary.
• Use the #10 screws included with the wall mount adapter kit.

Allow about 3/16 of an inch between
the wall and screw heads
for mounting the phone.
