INSTRUCTIONS

lnstalling Your Leased Phone
All AT&T leased telephones now have modular
cords with clip-in plugs at both ends, so you can
plug them in yourself. 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. They're easy to use-all you do is plug
in your line cord (except wall sets, which plug in dfuectly).

r How to Connect a Table Phone
If you have a modular clip-in jack, it's easy to con-
nect the telephone. Just follow the steps beginning on
this page.
If you do not have a modular clip-in jack, or if you
have a hard-wired telephone that cannot be
unplugged, see "If You Have an Older Outlet."
1. Plug in handset cord
Plug the coiled handset cord into the telephone. Press
firmly until you hear the plug click into place. Plug the
