Installing the Phone

Choosing the Best Location
When choosing a location for your new phone, here are some important guidelines you should consider: The location should be close to both a phone jack and a power outlet that is not connected to a wall switch. The base and handset should be kept away from sources of electrical noise such as motors, microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting. For better reception, place the base as high as possible. The base should be placed in an open area for optimum range and reception. If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to a phone line, be sure that installing the system does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, contact your telephone company or a qualified installer.
Wall Mounting the Base (DCT7565 Only)
This phone can be mounted on any standard wall plate. 1. Snap the wall mount adapter into the notches on the base top. Plug the AC adapter into the DC IN 9V jack. 3.

Try to mount your phone within 5-feet of a working phone jack to avoid excessive wire lengths. Make sure the wall material is capable of supporting the weight of the base and handset. Use #10 screws with a minimum length of 1-3/8 inches, with anchoring devices suitable for the wall material where the base unit will be placed. 1. Insert two mounting screws into the wall, using the appropriate anchoring device, 3-15/16 inches apart. Allow about 1/8 inch between the wall and screw heads for mounting the phone. Refer to the steps on page 14 to complete the mounting process.
