Hello all,
I was wondering how are the handsets usually hung on in a M998 ?
I found a few pic with an improvised fixation but I don't know where is fixed the rope ? Is it always this type of fixation ?

It was common for us to tie a length of '550' cord from roof support to roof support. Then, the handset just hung off of it. There are many, many ways it can be done.

OK thank you, can I ask you how the handset is fixed on the cord because I believe there isn't any notch, clip or something like that on the handset.

Actually there is a clip at the rear of the handset:

Thank you very much Brent and Pawel for your help.
On a model, it's cooler when they are hung on like that.

Example in a M1151 built.

Not sure to have understood the expression "roof support" for a M998.

I found this pic. The cord disappears on both sides.
