Ifyour leased phone cannot be unplugged from the telephone outlet, we will send you a FREE kit to convert your phone outlets to plug-in (modular). With modular outlets, you have the choice to change phones any time you want, for any reason. There are 3 basic types of modular outlets to connect modular phones.
2. Plug in line cord Ib connect a Thaditional or Signature PRINCESS phone: Plug the straight line cord into the back of the phone. Plug the other end of the cord into a modular jack (usually on the baseboard, or on the wall). Press firmly until you hear the plug click into place.

How to Connect a Wall Phone Wall telephones have no straight line cord. Just plug the phone into the wall jack, connect the handset cord, and hang up. If you have an older wall telephone that cannot be unplugged, see "If You Have an Older Outlet." Slide plug on the back of thephone down, align with wall jack, and plug into jack opening. Align holes with mounting studs and hang phone on studs. Push down firmly to lock phone in place on mounting studs. Plug in handset cord, then hang up phone.
If you have an older wall telephone that is hard-wired, a modular wall-phone jack must be installed before you can connect a modular wall phone. If you're not sure whether the phone is hard-wired, try to unplug the coiled handset cord. If it cannot be unplugged, the phone is hard-wired. If the handset cord cannot be unplugged, you need a converter kit to connect any modular wall phone. Do It Yourself, or Call Us for Help You can convert any older phone connection quickly with an easy-to-install kit.
