3. Installation and Battery Replacement

3.1 Connecting the Ranger to a Phone Line

The Ranger is designed with a standard RJ-12 (6 wire
RJ-11) modular jack for quick connection to a phone
line, either directly or through its included cable set.
This jack is located at the base of the test set below
its mouthpiece microphone. For a direct "temporary
extension" connection, run a standard phone cable
from this jack to a standard phone jack at your site.
To attach the included cable set to the Ranger, unscrew
the strain-relief screw on the back of the test set, then
place the strain-relief terminal in that spot and screw the
screw back in, as shown in Figure 3-1 on the next page.
You can then attach the cable's RJ plug to the Ranger's
RJ-12 jack. Clip the other end of the cable to your
desired line (in a wiring-closet "66 block", for example)
to establish a connection to that line.
To remove the cable set, detach it from the line and the
jack on the Ranger. Unscrew the Ranger's strain-relief
screw, pop out the cable set's strain-relief terminal, and
screw the screw back in.
