|
The Purple Box is very simple to construct. It takes only six
|
|
components and a PC board if you want. The Purple Box is a telephone hold
|
|
button. It will allow you to switch phones very easily.
|
|
|
|
A red LED indicates when a party is on hold and is automatically
|
|
extinguished when either party releases the line.
|
|
|
|
To install your Purple Box, remove the telephone case and locate the red
|
|
and green wires. From the green wire, make a connection to L1 and from the
|
|
red wire a connection to L2.
|
|
|
|
To test the circuit, call a friend and then while pressing the push
|
|
button, hang up the phone. As soon as the phone is on the hook, you may let
|
|
go of the push button.

The SCR is a three prong IC. The a,g, and c tell you what pins to use.
|
|
The "g" pin is the one on the left if you look at the numbers.
