I have utilized the
Tele-Q on numerous ocassions for activating Cordless phones. Unless they have changed drastically since I got mine, there are a a couple of jumpers on the back of the MOBO that allow you to change some settings that are very useful. < bear in mind I had an early gen.
Tele-Q>
I don't remember the number of jumpers or the exact configuration but the jumpers do allow you reset the ring
voltage and pulse width. Both of these things can help in activating a phone in different manners. the longer pulse widths give you that european ring, the shorter ones the N.A. ring. These settings can screw up < not damage, just mess with> phones with electronic ringers < as opposed to mechanical ringers = bells>
Be sure to read the instructions!
Follow them VERY CAREFULLY !!!!
There is a lot of
voltage stored up in those capacitors, and the transistors give it plenty of bite. You could be seriously injured or killed by touching the wrong components on the inside of a
TELE-Q!
Hope that helps some.
Oh Yeah one more thing;
This may be obvious and please don't be insulted but I actually ran into this once, when I couldn't get a cordless phone to ring off a
tele-Q. You
do have to have the
base unit plugged into 110v < Or 220v if you live
in one of those weird countries where they roast wombats> The wall
voltage supplies the
power to the transmitter in the
base. Since , most of the time, the bases are supplied via "wall warts" you need to have them plugged into a real
outlet, not a
dimmer. Unless, of course, you have
IPS dimmers.
