Installation options
The telephone base comes with the mounting bracket already
installed for desktop use. If wall mounting is desired, a telephone
outlet wall mounting plate with mounting studs is required. This
mounting plate with studs is available for purchase from many
hardware or consumer electronics retailers and may require
professional installation.
If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (Digital Subscriber
Line - DSL) through your telephone line, you must install a DSL
filter between the telephone base and the telephone wall jack.
The filter will prevent noise caused by DSL interference. Please
contact your DSL service provider for more information about
DSL filters.

Remove the mounting bracket from wall mount orientation by
following the illustrations below. Install the mounting bracket
in the desktop orientation by pushing the bracket tabs into the
slots on the upper portion of the telephone base until they
