although the site is sometimes down a couple hours at night, it's got lots of field phone basic info, pictures. See if it is an EE-8 or a TA-312. If an EE-8, the batteries go inside the unit's case.
If a TA-312, you put 2 D cells inside the door on the top, set the little screwdriver-slot-switch to "CB", and use two-conductor wire to connect them via the L1 and L2 terminals, and off you go!
EE-8's ring, TA-312 don't ring, they 'clack'.
I've used alot of these, if you need anything, let me know.
