Installation options
The telephone comes ready for tabletop use. If you want to mount your telephone
on a wall, use the provided wall mount bracket to connect with a standard
dual-stud telephone wall mount plate. If you do not have this wall mount plate,
you can purchase one from many hardware or consumer electronics retailers.
You may need a professional to install the wall mount plate.
Tabletop to wall mount installation
Plug one end of the telephone line cord into the TEL LINE jack on the bottom
of the telephone base. Plug the small end of the base power adapter into the
POWER jack on the bottom of the telephone base.
Position the telephone base against the wall mount bracket. Insert the extend tabs
(marked B) of the wall mount bracket into the slots (marked B) on the back of the
telephone base. Push the telephone base down until it clicks securely in place.
Route the telephone line cord (or DSL filter) through the hole in the middle
of the wall mount bracket 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.
Align the holes on the bracket with the standard wall mount plate and slide the
bracket down until it locks securely. Bundle the telephone line cord and power
adapter cord neatly with twist ties.
