2.Position the lower portion grooves on the telephone base to the lower portion tabs (marked A) on the wall mount bracket. Make sure the upper portion grooves of the telephone base are above the upper portion tabs on the wall mount bracket.

3.Route the telephone line cord through the wall mount bracket hole and plug it into the telephone wall jack. Route the power cord out of the bottom of the telephone and plug it into an electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch.

4.Align the holes on the bracket with the standard wall plate and slide the bracket down until it locks securely. Bundle the telephone line cord and power adapter cord neatly with twist ties.
