TRANSMIT - RECEIVE & DIALER TESTS HOW TO USE IT
Plug the telephone line into a modular jack connected to a telephone line.
1. Tone/Pulse Dialing - If your home is equipped with touch tone dialing service,
set the tone/pulse switch to tone position. If your home is equipped with rotary
dialing service, set the tone/pulse switch to pulse position.
2. Ringer ON/OFF Switch - The ringer can be turned OFF by setting the
RINGER ON/OFF SWITCH TO OFF.
3. To Place and Receive Calls - Lift handset to place or receive calls. Upon
completion, return handset to cradle, or press the hook switch once if you want
to make another call.
4. Last Number Redial - Whether or not you complete a call, the number dialed
is retained in memory until a new number is dialed. Just press to get new dial
tone then redial button. Your telephone remembers the last number dialed even
overnight. If you do not want anyone to know which number you dialed last,
pick up the phone and press any number, and hang up.
5. Mute Button - Allows you to hear the other party without them hearing you. To
use the MUTE function, press the mute button. Release the button to return to
normal. If your telephone is wall mounted to temporarily rest the handset
without hanging up, during a conversation, place on topTAB.
6. Flash Button - When you are finished with a call and wish to make another
press the FLASH BUTTON to obtain a dial tone. If you have CALL WAITING
(a custom calling feature) and wish to access a second call, press the FLASH
BUTTON. Press the FLASH BUTTON again to return to the first call.
7. Your telephone has neon bulbs to give a visual indication that it is ringing. The
LEDs illuminate the dial key pad.
TROUBLESHOOTING

HOW IT WORKS
The telephone was invented in 1876. The primary purpose of the telephone is to
transmit and receive voice signals allowing two people with telephones to
communicate with each other. To be of practical value, the telephone must be
connected to a switching. Each subscriber telephone is connected to the
telephone company's Central Office (CO) by two wires referred to as the "Local
Loop." A simplified diagram of this connection is shown in the Block Diagram.
The TIP and RING designation of the "+" and "--" leads come from the days of the
manual switchboard. The tip of the plug the operator use to connect telephones
carried the "+" lead and the ring immediately behind the tip carried the "--" lead.
The central office provides 48 Volts DC to operate telephones. When a telephone
is on the hook, no current flows, and approximately 48 VDC can be measured at
the Tip and Ring terminals on the telephone. A capacitor in series with the ringer
prevents DC current flow through the ringer. When the handset is picked up, the
hook switch connects the voice circuit to the line, and DC current flows from the CO
battery, through the wires and the telephone. Due to the resistance in the wires and
CO equipment, the voltage at the telephone will drop to about 6 to 12 Volts.
The current flow is detected by a current sensor in the CO, and the switching and
control system (from here on we'll just call it "the system") responds by sending a
dial tone to the telephone. The system then waits for dialing to begin. When
dialing is complete, the CO checks to see if the dialed telephone is busy; if the
dialed telephone is on hook (the current sensor on the dialed telephone line
provides this information), then a 90 Volt AC ringing signal is sent to the dialed
telephone and the ringer will ring, signaling that someone is calling. When the
handset is picked up, DC current will be drawn from the CO battery, signaling the
system that the called party has answered. The system stops providing 90 VAC
ringing voltage and connects the two phone lines together, letting the parties talk.
As you can imagine, the system is not simple. Along with the tasks mentioned
above, it must generate busy signals, keep track of the length of calls for billing
purposes, route calls to other COs, and connect voice recordings to advise you of
problems in completing calls.
The ringer circuit is connected directly across the Tip and Ring inputs. The
capacitor blocks the 48 VDC that is present on the inputs when the phone is on
the hook. To signal an incoming call, the Central Office places a 90 VAC 20Hz
signal on top of the 48 VDC. A special circuit oscillates the frequency at about
3kHz. The buzzing sound is thus produced by the buzzer changing dimensions
at 3kHz. During the positive portion of the 20Hz ringing signal, the three neon
bulbs give a visual indication of the incoming call.
When the hook switch is not depressed the telephone is ready to transmit and
receive. The rectifier protects the integrated circuit (IC) and other components
that may be damaged by a reversal of polarity transmission begins when you
speak into the microphone. The main elements of the dialer are the keyboard and
the dialer IC.

For all the tests you need to make a test cable
using a 9V battery snap, a test jack, and a 9V
battery.
First check:
a. If your kit has a red wire on the input jack
going from point T1 (on Ringer PCB) and
green/black wire going from point T2, make
the test cable as shown. See Step 8 on the
other side for Wiring/Tubing Assembly
instructions.
- OR -
b. If your kit has a red wire on the input jack going from point T2 (on
Ringer PCB) and a green/black wire going from pointT1, reverse
the wire connections on the test jack. See Step 8 on the other
side for Wiring/Tubing Assembly instructions.
Plug the telephone line into the input jack of the PC board and the test
cable jack as shown. Next, plug the 9V battery into the battery snap.
No tone should be heard.
Connect the 10kΩresistor to the leads of R2 and D1 (see figure).
You should hear a tone from the buzzer when the resistor is connected the two leads. Now
remove the resistor and the tone will stop.
Ringer test fails, then:
a. Check that the battery is connected with the right polarity to the test cable.
b. Check your 10kΩresistor.
c. Check wires from buzzer and jack to PC board. Be sure that none of these wires
have broken off.
d. Check the telephone line for a good connection.
Remove the test cable from the ringer PC board. Return to Step 3 of the Assembly
Instructions.
