corrected.  Also,  the  telephone  company  has  the  right  to  make 

changes  in their  lines and

or  equipment.  If these changes  affect 

your  DCM-6  or  require  changes  in  its  connection,  the  phone 

company will notify you in writing so you can take the necessary 

steps to ensure uninterrupted service.

These  notes  do  not  apply  if  you  connect  your  Modem  via  the

optional acoustic cups (26-3805/26-3818)

How you connect the  DCM-6 to a telephone depends on how your 

telephone is connected  to the wall: 

1. If  your  telephone  has  the  modular  wall  connection,  attach  the

DCM-6 els  shown in Figure 3.

Figure 3.  Modular Wall Telephone Connection 

If you will be using  your DCM-6 outside the USA, you may need 

a modular-to-modular cable (279-374) and a duplex modular jack 

(279-357).

2. If your telephone  has  the older style, four-prong connection, use

an adapter (279-360) to connect your  DCM-6 as shown below.

If your telephone is wired directly to the wall, use a quick-connect

jack(279-355), or contact your telephone company about updating

the wiring to the modular system.

Note: The telephone company is authorized to charge you for any 

work that they do to  install  such jacks.  They might  ask  you for

the  U.S.O.C.  number  for  the plug  connection.  This  number  is

RJ-1 IC.
