Most of you have a linemans test phone or a butt set to test phones. I found it a little hard to test a phone jack with the two clips that come installed with the phone. What I did is I added a 6ft phone cord. Open the phone set and find the leads where the two clips connect, take a phone cord cut off one end. Strip down the two wires that come from pins 4 & 5 or the two middle pins. Connect the two leads to the phone set where the two clips connect. Now you don't need to bring an extra cord and break out box to test. Look!!! New Buttons
Same amount of time!

Thanks All Phoneman2
