INSTALLATION AND OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
1.0.97/1GENERAL
The Linesman’s telephone is a portable instrument, suitable for connexion to all
types of exchange line and designed for use by maintenance and field engineers.
A three-position slider switch enables the internal battery to be switched in and out
of circuit and in the non-locking position of this switch, connects ringing current
from the transistorised generator to the line terminals. A jack is provided so that a
headset (Pye TMC Headset S 508640) [Link]. A437 can be plugged in and used
as an alternative to the handset and two sockets enable the output from a tone
amplifier to be connected to this receiver.
A polyurethane-impregnated nylon carrying case (Pye TMC Cat: No. A424) may
also be used to give additional protection in use in very rugged conditions.

should be used. Unscrew the cap on the side of the instrument and insert

When communication is required between two telephones proceed as follows:—
a) Set the three-position slider switch to the LB position; the
internal battery is now in circuit.
b) Connect the telephone to the line.
c) Push the slider switch to the ‘RING’ position to call the other
station. A tone will be heard in the receiver.
d) Arrange with the other party which battery is to be in circuit
as it is only necessary for one internal battery to be in use,
therefore one telephone should have the slider switch in the
LB (battery in circuit) position and the other telephone should
be switched to the CB (battery out of circuit) position.
e) To conserve battery and receive incoming calls always replace handset
or remove headset plug from socket.
3. Tone Amplifier
A tone amplifier may be used to identify cable pairs. The tone can be heard
in the telephone headset if the output of the amplifier is connected to the
sockets in the linesmans telephone.
