Modular 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 a RJ14C (for two lines) type
modular phone jack, which might look like the one
pictured here. If you don't have either modular jack,
call your local phone company to find out how to get
one installed.
