Wall mounting
Your telephone base is ready for desktop use. If you prefer to mount your telephone on
the wall (optional), it is designed to mount on a standard telephone wall plate.
You can mount the telephone base on the wall by positioning it so the mounting studs will
t into the corresponding holes on the telephone base. Slide the telephone base down
on the mounting studs until it locks into place.
