I have both the modem and the manual that came with it.  The RCA type jack
is an audio output.  It can be configured several ways.  You can feed the
output to the audio input on the C64.  This sound will then be fed to the
RF modulator in the C64 which, when connected to a TV, will allow the dial
tone, ringing and answer tones to be heard on the TV.   If you use a
monitor, the modem audio output is fed directly to the audio input on the
monitor.
