900-MHz Digital Spread Spectrum echnology utilizes a “wider frequency
band” vs. a “single narrow band” used in standard digital transmissions. The
result is the clarity of digital sound, extended range and a secure conversation
with virtually no interference from other 900-M z cordless phones or radio
transmission devices.
The clearest channel is automatically selected for each transmission. The phone
selects one of over 65,000 digital security codes for the handset and base.
These features enhance your phone’s security and also prevent unauthorized
calls as a result of your phone being activated by other equipment.

Direct wall-mounting
If you do not have a standard wall plate, you can still mount your phone directly to the
wall. Before doing this, consider the following:
• Avoid electrical cables, pipes, or other items behind the mounting location, that could
cause a hazard when inserting screws into the wall.
• Try to mount your phone within 0 – 5 feet (3 – 4.5 m) of a working phone jack to
avoid excessive cord lengths.
• Make sure the wall material is capable of supporting the weight of the base and
handset.
• Use #0 screws with anchoring devices suitable for the wall material where the base
unit will be placed.
1 Insert two mounting screws with a minimum length
of -3/8 inches (35.5 mm) into the wall, 3- 5/ 6
inches ( 00 mm) apart. Allow about 3/ 6 of an
inch (4.8 mm) between the wall and screwheads
for mounting the phone.
2 Refer to steps through 9 on pages 7 and 8 to
mount the telephone.
8 On the base unit, pull the handset retainer out
of the slot. Rotate it clockwise 80 degrees.
9 Flip the retainer. Slide it back into the slot so
that the lip of the retainer is up and the
