************************ * Infinity Transmiters * ************************ ---------------VOLTAGES---------------- WHEN YOUR PHONE IS HUNG UP, THERE IS 48 DC VOLTS GOING DOWN THE LINE. WHEN YOU PICK UP THE PHONE, IT DROPS DOWN TO ABOUT 15VDC. THE BLACK BOX EXPLOITS THIS FOR FREE CALLS SINCE BELL USES THE VOLTAGE DROP TO START BILLING. BELL MAY ALSO REVERSE THE POLARITY OF THE LINE TO START BILLING. IF YOU HAVE A TONE PHONE THE KEYPAD WON'T WORK IF THE POLARITY IS REVERSED. USUALLY, THE RED WIRE IS CALLED THE TIP SINCE IT IS THE MORE (+) OF THE TWO WIRES. IT IS KNOWN AS THE "TIP". THE GREEN IS THE (-) OF THE TWO. IT'S KNOWN AS THE "RING". THE BLACK AND YELLOW WIRES ARE THE GROUND. IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO KEEP ONE OF THEM HOOKED UP. I DIDN'T HAVE MINE AND ALMOST GOT ZAPPED FROM AN LIGHTNING STORM!
