Direct Wall Mounting
If you do not have a standard wall plate, you can 
mount the 900 MHz Cordless Telephone base 
station directly on a wall. Before doing so, consider 
the following:
 Select a location away from electrical cables, 
pipes, or other items behind the mounting 
location that could cause a hazard when screws 
are inserted into the wall.
 Ensure that the wall material is capable of 
supporting the weight of the base station.
 Use #10 screws with anchoring devices suitable 
for the wall material at the mounting point.
1.
Insert two mounting screws in the 
wall, 3-15/16 
inches apart. Allow 
about 
3/16 of an inch between the 
wall and screw heads for mounting 
the base station.

Perform steps 1
 to 3
