KIT No. 422A

The Trimphone was not really designed to be wall mounted, as it was introduced as a "boudoir telephone".  Because of this and the the fact it looked rather big and ugly when fitted, they are generally hard to find as hardly any were installed.

The kit consists of a plastic wedge shaped box (wall bracket), handset clip, cradle bar and a longer case retaining screw.

To install, fit the bracket to the wall using the three securing holes.

The following modifications will have to be carried out to the telephone instrument:-

1. Remove the four rubber feet on the underside of the instrument.

2. Remove the existing line cord.  The exchange line is then connected to the instrument via the hard wiring.

3. The existing cradle bar may need to be replaced if it differs from the new cradle bar found in the Kit No. 422A.  The exchange line cable should be brought into the wall bracket via the bottom, under the sloped back panel that contains the fitting instructions and behind the cable retainer which is situated as part of the top right-hand telephone support hook.

Once the cable has been routed as described the cable should be cut to length i.e. to the bottom edge of the wall bracket.  Then strip the outer sheathing to approximately 50mm below the support hook.  Hang the instrument on the two support hooks of the wall bracket and clip the lower half into place to secure.  Terminate the exchange line cable.  Replace the telephone cover and place the handset clip in position then secure by using the longer case retaining screw.
