might be of help. I would put in a seperate number pad elsewhere also, that does digital on the cable.. since you entail such things for menu systems.. the older phones don't work near that. Radio shack sells a cord beside a plug on 1 end and spade tips on the other. Remove the cover from the phone and look where on earth the old cord is connected. The wires are color coded. Just contest the new next to the old and replace the cover.
red and green wires need to be connected to indistinguishable on your inside wiring, or if your electrics is newer green to blue/white, and red to solid blue...
the 3rd wire may be for a ground start, not adjectives in modern phones, next to the exception of some payphones. so the 3rd wire may necessitate to go to an soil ground...
polarity now a days is not influential, but for older equiptment polarity can mingy if the phone works or not, so if your polarity in your electric wiring is reversed, you will have to switch the red/green wires near eachother...
you can do one of 2 things, hard line it to jack. if you take the jack sour the wall you will see 2 wires on the screw lugs, take the 2 wires from the phone and tie it down to them, it doesn't business which colors, as long as one is going to one side and the other to the other side, or you can call within a trouble ticket to your local phone company and have the tech do it for you. cost usually almost $40 to $65 they can put a plug end on it so after you can move it around. you may have to sweet chitchat "tip" the tech into doing it for you.
