Wall Mounting

Your phone base unit is designed to mount on a standard telephone wall plate. Wall mounting is optional. See position one below for instructions.

Desk/Table Installation

To place your base unit on a desk or table, insert the desk/wall bracket as instructed below and shown in position one or two, depending on your preference of how you’d like the base unit to be angled.

To mount your phone on a wall, or to place it on a table or desk, refer to the diagrams illustrating position one.
• First insert the lower portion of the bracket into the grooves in the base, then snap the upper portion into place.
• Mount the base on the wall by positioning the base unit so the mounting studs will fit into the holes on the base and wall mount bracket. Slide the base unit down on the mounting studs until it locks into place.
Position Two
This position is an alternate way to install your phone on a table or desk. Position two allows a different viewing angle to your handset and base unit. Refer to the position two diagrams above.

Operating Range

This cordless telephone operates within the maximum power allowed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and base can communicate over only a certain distance — which can vary with the locations of the base and handset, the weather, and the construction of your home or office.
If you receive a call while you are out of range, the handset might not ring or if it does ring, the call might not connect when you press PHONE. Move closer to the base, then press PHONE to answer the call.
If you move out of range during a phone conversation, you might hear noise or interference. To improve reception, move closer to the base.
If you move out of range without pressing OFF, your phone will be left off the hook. To hang up properly, walk back into range, periodically pressing OFF.

Message Waiting

Your phone is designed to work with most local and regional telephone service provider’s voice messaging systems, providing alerts on both the handset and base unit when new messages come in.
Voice messaging is subscription service, available through most service providers, for a monthly fee. Contact your local telephone company for more information.
When a caller leaves a message in your voice mailbox, the unit will flash. In addition, the handset will display:
