Cordless Wall Telephones

Telephone Extension Installation Instructions

Cordless phones are easy and convenient, but there are still situations when you need an extra telephone extension. You may need an extension for the base of your cordless phone system or perhaps you need an extension for a dial-up modem, facsimile machine or satellite connection. It's not necessary to pay a high fee for an extra extension. While wiring an extension is not as easy as hanging wine racks wall, it's not rocket science either. You can do it yourself!

The Difference between Four-Wire and Two-Wire Systems

Open the junction box to determine which type of system is installed in your home. You will typically find two-wire systems in older homes, with a total of four colored wires - usually green, red, black and yellow. Green is intertwined with red for the first phone line, and then yellow and black are combined for the second extension.

Four-wire systems with eight wires are found in newer homes. You will locate four white wires and four colored wires, which allows for additional phone extensions. Each white wire is joined with a colored wire to form a phone extension.

How to Add an Extension

1. Keep the handsets from ringing while installing the wiring, take them off the cradle. Find the junction box, which joins a standard network interface where the inside phone wiring joins with the exterior phone wiring. Take off the cover and then secure a new cable next to the junction box via a cable staple. Leave enough excess cable for connecting the wires.

2. Choose the desired interior location for your extension, and make a cutout in the wall of the appropriate size to accommodate the extension module. Remove any table art sculptures in the vicinity of your work zone.

3. Run the cable to the interior space where you wish to install the new extension. Avoid running the cable through or near flammable materials, and keep the cable at least six to eight inches from circuit wiring to avoid electrical interference. The cable can be attached with cable staples along baseboards or trim, inside walls, closets or wherever it can be discreetly hidden from view. Push several inches of wire through the prepared hole created in Step 2 and loop and secure with electrical tape so it does not fall back through the wall.

4. Prepare the wire by using a wire stripper (it should have an insulated handle) to remove around two-inches of the cable covering and one-inch of wire insulation.

5. Do not try to to connect wiring during a storm. Connect the wires at the extension in a similar fashion as those at the junction box, connecting similarly colored wires using the junction wiring as a guide. Electrical tape may be used on the stripped wire leftover, and then tape the wires to the extension's back to prevent them from pulling away. Position the extension box inside the wall cut out.

6. Next, attach the wires at the telephone junction box, coordinating colored wires with the colored screw terminals. The additional wires can be wrapped and tucked into the box, and then the cover can be put back on.

Troubleshooting: Telephone and Wiring Problems

Telephone service and utility companies offer monthly service protection plans that cover services to repair faulty or damaged wiring. It is not usually necessary to pay for this coverage if you have been living there for a significant period of time without problems with your wiring. Common problems with service can most of the time be taken care of by the homeowner.

In situations where the phone stop working, your initial step is to determine if one particular phone is the root of the problem. Next you should unplug all the phones and then check each phone individually. If a particular phone is not working, that is likely the source of the problem; either the modular cord or the phone is defective. Switch the cord on the phone that is giving you problems; this will help you determine if the problem is in the phone or the cable. If the phone still does not work, most likely the phone and not the cable is the problem.

If the phone works at a particular extension but not another, check the screw terminals at the extension and at the junction box; sometimes a loose screw could be the culprit. If after checking and tightening screws the phone still does not work, the cable could be defective, and replacing the cable as described above should resolve the problem.
