Terms Description and Uses
Talk Mode In this mode, the 0E-TELBSET goes “off hook” and
produces a dial tone when connected to a POTS line. While
off-hook the 0E-TELBSET can dial phone numbers from its
keypad or via internal memory slots.
Bell Mode This is the “on hook” or “off” mode. In this mode, caller ID and
the Ringer are activated when a call is being received.
Monitor Mode Monitor mode allows listening to a line without loading it.
It displays line voltage, on-hook Caller ID and any detected
DTMF digits on the line.
POTS line “Plain Old Telephone Service” the basic form of wired
residential and small business service connection.
Hook flash Rapid depression and release of the switch hook which is
used for placing a call on hold, notifying an operator of the
completion of a call, or signaling a PBX.
DTMF Dual Tone Multi-Frequency is the signaling between the sub-
scriber and switching equipment from push button telephones.
Tone Tone dialing mode uses the DTMF method to signal the
switching equipment for each numbered button press.
Pulse Pulse dialing mode signals the central office or switch by
opening and closing the telephone loop a specific amount of
times depending on the number dialed.
CID and
CWCID Caller ID is 1200 BAUD modem data sent between the first
and second ring with information about the incoming call for
display on a phone that recognizes CID. Call Waiting Caller
ID is the same information sent to the phone while a call is in
progress preceded by a call waiting tone.
Tip and Ring Tip and Ring are the historical names for the two leads of a
POTS line. Tip is the black lead and Ring the red lead of the
cord set. Contrary to modern standards, the black lead is a
positive voltage with respect to the red lead.

Connecting to a POTS line
The angled bed of nails with piercing pin cord set attached to the OE-
TELBSET must be used to properly connect to telephone lines. Connect to
Tip and Ring on a 66 block, 110 block, or modular adaptor (banjo). Because
typical phone line voltage is negative, the red lead is connected to Ring
(negative), and the black lead is connected to positive ground (Tip).
Important Points to Note
The angled bed of nails with piercing clip cord set attached to the OE-
TELBSET must be used to properly connect to telephone lines.
• For 66/110 blocks, affix the angled bed of nails with piercing pin cord
set to tip and ring.
• When testing from an RJ11, use an appropriate modular adaptor (banjo).
Important Safety Points to Note
xx Volts, DISCONNECT NOW! message appears when the voltage
surpasses 65 volts peak AC or DC. It is not recommended to
operate the0E
TELBSET
on cable systems exceeding a voltage
value of 65 volts or current in excess of 125 mA.
Internal components of the 0E
-TELBSET
are protected to 270
volts peak AC or DC and a voltage clamp will activate. Connecting
the unit to cabling systems with voltage above 270 volts peak AC or
DC may damage the test unit and pose a safety hazard for the user.
The T/B/M (TALK/BELL/MON)
T/B/M buttons are on the left side of the 0E-TELBSET. The following
subsections describe how the 0E-TELBSET works in each of the three
settings.

16
The TALK Setting (TALK Mode)
The “TALK” or off-hook position takes the 0E-TELBSET “off hook” on a
standard “POTS” (plain old telephone service) voice phone line. While the
0E-TELBSET is off-hook, it can dial numbers either directly from the
keypad or from its memory dial slots (see page 17, figures 9-4).
Off-Hook Protection
The 0E-TELBSET checks for low voltage, high voltage, and presence of
data before going off-hook. Once off-hook, the 0E-TELBSET checks for
excess loop current.
•The 0E-TELBSET must measure 18 volts or more on the line it is
connected to (a voltage level indicating a live but not in use line) before it
will go off hook. If the 0E-TELBSET doesn’t go off hook, it displays
“Off-Hook Protection”, the voltage measured for the line, and an option
to “Connect” on its LCD screen. To connect, press the F2 button under
“Connect” to go off hook despite this voltage reading and attempt to
operate normally (Because the 0E-TELBSET's internal voice circuits are
line powered, it won’t work if there’s insufficient power on the line).
•The 0E-TELBSET also checks for line voltage exceeding 65 volts. If it
finds the line voltage exceeds this level, it doesn’t go off-hook but
displays the messages: “xxV,TOO HIGH!” and “DISCONNECT
NOW!!” (see page 9 figure 4.1). It continues to monitor the line voltage
for about five minutes, then powers down if the high voltage has not
been removed. The 0E-TELBSET will automatically go off-hook if the
voltage goes below the 65 volt threshold. The line current will be
displayed on the top line of the LCD. The 0E-TELBSET detects the
polarity of the connection and will reverse-video the line current to
indicate a reverse connection.
•In addition to the voltage checks when going off-hook, the OE-
TELBSET uses patented Data Defender™technology to check for data
being present on the line. If data is detected, “Off-Hook Protection”,
“Signal: xxx KHz” and “Active Data Found” are displayed. The average
signal frequency of the largest amplitude data energy is displayed. An
override soft key option, “Connect”, is displayed and by pressing F2 the
0E-TELBSET will go off-hook. The override feature may be needed
should

17
high frequency energy be present on a circuit due to stray coupling. The
Data Defender™circuitry is active in monitor mode and will display signal
frequency and “Active Data Found” if data is present. Data Defender™is
a trademark of Independent Technologies, Patent number 6,556,661.
DSL Detection The 0E-TELBSET average frequency reading will be
either in the range of 70 to 90 KHz at the premise (upstream) end of an
active DSL link or 260 to 280 KHz at the DSLAM (downstream) end due to
the pilot tones.
T1 Detection The 0E-TELBSET average frequency reading will read the
carrier frequency between 700 and 800 KHz on a T1 line.
CWCID
In Talk mode the 0E-TELBSET supports Call Waiting Caller ID (CWCID or
Type 2 Caller ID). When a call is already in progress, an incoming call’s ID is
displayed on the screen. During this the label “CWCID” replaces the line
current field. The user can switch to the incoming call by pressing the Talk
button to “Flash” the line.
Speed Dial
In Talk mode, function key F1 (“Recall”) accesses a screen for speed
dialing. From the Speed Dial screen, press the zero (0) key to dial the last
number dialed or a Memory Dial slot by pressing 1 through 8. The soft
function keys provide further access to the Memory Dial slots or Recent Call
List by pressing the soft key and scrolling through the slots using the arrow
keys. Press the Dial soft key to dial the currently displayed number.
Flash
To flash the phone line, press the “T” (Talk) button while off hook. The Flash
function breaks the phone line connection for 0.6 seconds, simulating a
phone “hookflash” signal. Hookflashes are often used to transfer calls or to
activate special PABX or central-office features.

18
Volume Control
Use the and keys to adjust receiver and loudspeaker volume.
During adjustment a bar graph is displayed to show the volume percentage.
The receiver and loudspeaker have separate volume settings. Volume levels for
Talk mode and Monitor mode are set and stored independently.
Using the Multi-function Mute Button
When the test set hook in the TALK mode and the loudspeaker is
is off
OFF, you can mute the 0E-TELBSET microphone by pressing down the mute
button on the right-hand side of the 0E-TELBSET (see Page 13, figure 6). If you
tap the button for less than 2 seconds, the mute lock feature is enabled and the
microphone icon is in reverse video. The test set will remain muted until you
press the button again. If you hold this button down for more than 2 seconds,
the mike will be muted only while the button is held down; as soon as you let go,
it will resume operating normally.
When the test set is off hook in the TALK mode with the loudspeaker ON,
the microphone is automatically muted to prevent feedback. The mute
button is used to turn the loudspeaker OFF and the microphone ON so that
you can talk to the remote party over the phone line. The microphone is only
ON while the mute button is being held down. Under these conditions, when
the mute button is pressed, the speaker icon is displayed in reverse video
and the microphone icon is displayed normally.
When the test set is in the Monitor mode with the loudspeaker ON, the mute
button is used to mute the loudspeaker. The loudspeaker is only OFF while
the mute button is being held down in a push to talk like operation. While
muted, the speaker icon on the screen is displayed in reverse video.
The BELL Setting (BELL Mode)
Figure 7.CallerIDScreen
W Box
631-692-1000

19
The BELL mode is the “off state” of the 0E-TELBSET. The keypad is
disabled and the 0E-TELBSET is in its lowest power state. The test set
monitors the phone line to which it is connected for ringing and Caller ID
signals. If it detects an incoming ring, it sounds the electronic ringer. If the
0E-TELBSET detects incoming Caller ID information, it will test the signal
for correct format, checksum, and display the frequency and RMS voltage
of the ring signal at the top of the screen. In Bell Mode, if the 0E-TELBSET
is not taken off hook while it is ringing, it will power OFF again about 10
seconds after the end of ringing.
The MON Setting (MONITOR Mode)
Figure 8.MonitormodeScreen
The MON position (MONITOR mode) causes the 0E-TELBSET to use its
high impedance amplifier so that you can listen to a line without loading it.
On-hook Caller ID is also received, checked and displayed in this mode. The
line voltage is measured and displayed, with reverse polarity indicated by a
reverse video icon. The 0E-TELBSET also monitors the line it is connected
to for DTMF signals. If it detects any of the 16 valid DTMF signals it will
display the characters on the LCD.
