and a telephone jack.Your phone
requires a modular telephone jack and
a standard electrical outlet (120V AC).
The power cord is six feet long; make
sure there is an electrical outlet within
reach of the base. The outlet should not
be controlled by a wall switch. If the
switch is ever turned off, the phone will
not operate.
2.Position the wall mount adapter on the
base. Line up the tabs on the wall mount
adapter with the holes on the bottom of
the base. Snap the wall mount adapter
firmly in place.
3.Mount the base on the wall. Position
the base so the mounting studs will fit
into the holes on the bottom of the base.
Position the power cord to extend down
the wall the phone is to be mounted on.
Slide the base down on the mounting
studs until it locks into place.
4.Connect the telephone cord. The
telephone line cord has a snap-in plug
at each end. Insert one of the plugs into
the jack on the bottom of the base. Insert
