CONNECTING THE HANDSET CORD

Plug one end of the supplied coiled cord into the jack on the phone
handset.  Then plug the other end into the jack on the left side of the
phone.

NOTE:  Your local Radio Shack store sells longer, coiled handset cords.

CONNECTING TO THE TELEPHONE LINE

The ET-208 comes with modular plugs.  To connect the phone to a modular
jack, plug the supplied phone cord into the jack on the back of the phone.
Then plug the other end of the cord into a modular jack.

NOTE:  If you do not have a modular phone jack, you can either update the
       wiring yourself or have the phone company update it for you.  Radio 
       Shack stores sell the jacks and adapters you need to convert from
       older wiring methods to modular wiring.  The telephone company will
       charge you for the installation of the necessary jacks.  The
       telephone company will ask you for the USOC number of the jack to be
       installed.  The number is RJ11C for a baseboard jack or RJ11W for a
       wall jack.
