I just got the above mentioned phone. I'm looking for a way to outfit it with an RJ-11 jack. When you remove the battery there are some contacts that are obviously there for something (the battery connections are at the other end so they are not for power). Does anyone know what they are? I know there are some vendors out there who make attatchments for some of these phones. An address or telephone number would be helpful. Also, one functions on the phone is "CYCLE BATT" which I assume has something to do with the Ni-Cad batteries. There's nothing in the documentation about this. Anyone have an idea what this function is? reb *-=#= Phydeaux =#=-* reb@ingres.com or reb%ingres.com@lll-winken.llnl.GOV ICBM: 41.55N 87.40W h:558 West Wellington #3R Chicago, IL 60657 312-549-8365 w:reb ASK/Ingres 10255 West Higgins Suite 500 Rosemont, IL 60018 708-803-9500

Does > anyone know what they are? Forget it; there's no way to produce an RJ-11 jack on that phone. The contacts you are referring to provide two functions: They connect the phone to the external car booster unit, and they connect the phone to test equipment. You can get options that allow you to hook up an external speaker and mike, but nothing that will simulate an RJ-11. Even when you hook Motorola phones up to the external 3 Watt unit, you still do all control functions using the buttons on the phone. The Ultra-Classic is a nice phone. Selling for $495 here in Boston. In fact, I'm planning to buy one if I can find someone in the Boston area to buy my Nokia P-30 (real cheap) and take the 4 month service contract. I'll even buy the P-30 back at the end of the contract if whoever buys it decides cellular isn't worth keeping. john
