How To Change A Telephone Outlet ?

When rendering a proper electrical framework to your home, it should be ensured that all the electrical components are well branched to the main electrical schema. In order to attain such an architecture, the outlets and the receptacles must be inculcated wherever necessary.

One such task is the installation of the wall outlets for your telephone such that the phone apparatus connects well to the entire setup. The outlet also ensures that the telephone can easily be transferred from one room to another without getting involved in behind-the-wall tasks.

Beforehand, make a decision as to which line your telephone would be connected to. A home wiring setup is generally provided with three phone lines. All the three lines differ from each other based on their color code.

Most households choose the line 1 while connecting their phones to the wires. The line 1 comprises of a red and a green wire. The red colored wire denotes the negative lead (ring ) and the green wire corresponds to the positive lead (tip).

The line 2 utilizes a color code under which negative terminal is determined by yellow colored wire and the positive one by the black wire. For the line 3, the blue and the orange color represent the negative and positive leads respectively. This color coding helps you to characterize the three lines available.

Before moving to the job site, make sure that the main electricity is cut off from the fuse box or the breaker box. Keep a voltage tester and a screwdriver in tact so as to approach the task with complete safety assurance. Test the outlet to which the telephone is connected for it’s state of electricity. Once it is confirmed that the outlet is short of electricity supply, uncover the outlet and expose the underlying wiring setup. Observe the terminals to which the two innermost pins of the telephone jack are connected.

Place the telephone outlet in place such that the wires of line 1 (red and green) are connected to the verified terminals. To do so, tear off some insulation from the front of the wires and screw the wires well to the terminals. Make way for screwdrivers and the cutters to accomplish the task properly.

After the connections are made, screw the outlet plate on to the wall and finish off the installation job. Plug the telephone into the outlet to test it’s normal operation.
