On the phone, there's a rotary switch that you need a screwdriver to set.
The settings on the rotary are divided into "2 Wire" and "4 Wire" settings.
Set the rotary switch to DC/CB in the "2 Wire" group of settings.
There's also 4 push terminals on the phone, 2 are marked "XMT" and 2 are
marked "RCV." Connect your phone line to the terminals marked "XMT."
I did put batteries in my TA-838 because I also use it with other military
commo gear, but it should work on a commercial phone line without them.
