Any one care to tell this gentleman about re-wiring his telephone line once
he disconnects the RJ Telco jack inside the panel and shoves the wires back
in the wall. If not, he may be left without phone service. Hint:
Twist the red and black together and cap off. Then the yellow and green
together and cap off. If CAT3 or CAT5 was used, twist the White w/blue strip
and the White w/orange strip together and cap off and then the Blue w/white
strip and the Orange w/white stripe together and cap off. This will keep
your phone service in tact after disconnecting the RJ31X Telco jack inside
the security panel.
