I'm sure that many of you have wanted at one time or another to
|
||
|
eavesdrop on someone, but have discovered it hard to keep quiet
|
||
|
or keep the mute button down the entire time. Well, with some
|
||
|
basic tools you can make your own 'mute' button, which is far
|
||
|
easier to operate (i.e. no holding a button down).
|
||
|
|
||
|
To do this, you need the following:
|
||
|
|
||
|
* Phone (get a two piece one made of plastic)
|
||
|
* 1" Screw (One that is a good electric conductor, no
|
||
|
coatings)
|
||
|
* Electrical Tape
|
||
|
* Screw driver
|
||
|
* Soldering Iron or auto-drill (to make holes in phone)
|
||
|
* Insulated Alligator clips (at least 4" long)
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
NOTE: This box is ugly as hell, and so if you're living in your
|
||
|
parents house, don't do it to the good phone ;)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Now then, once you get the materials, it's time to begin.
|
||
|
First, take the screws out of the phone so you can open it.
|
||
|
If you can't find a screw, check under stickers and table pads.
|
||
|
If all else fails, use a knife to open the phone with
|
||
|
brute force, trying your best not to break anything.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Next, locate the microphone. There should be two wires leading
|
||
|
from it; red and black. Cut the red wire in half and strip
|
||
|
both ends.
|
||
|
|
||

|
|

|
After this, wrap one of the exposed ends of the wire around the
|
||
|
pointed end of the screw, and cover the entire exposed end,
|
||
|
along with where it touches the screw, in electrical tape, all
|
||
|
the way up to about 2 mm before the fat part of the screw.
|
||
|
This is important, as it won't work properly if the two ends of
|
||
|
the wire you cut touch.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Now, on the other end of the wire you cut, wrap the exposed
|
||
|
section around one end of the alligator clip, and cover that
|
||
|
exposed end, and where it meets the alligator clip in electrical
|
||
|
tape. Again, this is important.
|
||
|
|
||
|
After that, heat up the soldering iron. When it is hot, make a
|
||
|
hole in the phone in such a place and size that you can snugly
|
||
|
fit the screw, and pull out one end of the alligator clip so
|
||
|
that it dangles 1-2 inches below the screw.

||

|
Now, use some electrical tape to secure the screw in place, so
|
||
|
it doesn't fall back inside the phone or out of the phone. Put
|
||
|
the screws back in the phone and voila! You've made a ditto box.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Now, to test it out. Plug the phone into the wall and make
|
||
|
sure you get a dial tone. If you don't, then you need to make
|
||
|
sure all points except the dangling end of the alligator clip
|
||
|
and the fat end of the screw are COMPLETELY covered in
|
||
|
electrical tape, and that you didn't solder the circuit board
|
||
|
accidentally.
|
||
|
|
||
|
To use it, just wait until someone picks up the phone, then
|
||
|
pick up the ditto box phone. When the alligator clip isn't
|
||
|
clasped on or touching the screw, no noise is transmitted
|
||
|
through the phone. To talk, just clamp the alligator clip on.
