Unplug? D'ya mean the red, green, black, and yellow wires held on by
screws? (8x32?)
It's the device for connecting the modem.
First lift up the detachable corded part (called the "handset"), and
listen for "dial tone".
Then turn the large rotary dial the appropriate number of times. When you
hear the "carrier tone", place the handset into the cups of the acoustic
coupler.
