Telephone Jack Requirements

To properly connect your phone to your telephone lines, you should
identify the type of wall jack(s) you have. You will need an RJ11C (for
a single line) or an RJ14C (for two lines) type modular phone jack,
which might look like the one pictured here, installed in your home.
If you don't have either modular jack, call your local phone company to find out how
to get one installed.

Important Installation Information

• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically
designed for wet locations.
• Never touch non-insulated telephone wires or terminals, unless the telephone line
has been disconnected at the network interface.
• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
• Temporarily disconnect any equipment connected to the phone such as faxes,
other phones, or modems.
