interference from other cordless phone.
Random Code™ digital security automatically selects one of

These features enhance your phone’s security and also
prevent unauthorized calls as a result of your phone being
activated by other equipment.

AutoTalk allows you to answer a call by just removing the
handset from the base so you don’t have to waste time
pushing buttons or flipping switches. AutoStandby allows you
hang up by simply returning the handset to the base.

Direct wall plate mounting
If you don't have a standard wall plate, you can 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 10 - 15 feet 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 #10 screws (minimum length of 1-3/8 inches) with anchoring
devices suitable for the wall material where the base unit will be
placed.
1Insert two mounting screws
into the wall, (with their
appropriate anchoring device),
3-15/16 inches apart. Allow
about 3/16 of an inch between
the wall and screwheads for
mounting the phone.
