GREEN This diagram can be interpreted as: P.B = Pushbutton The 6 volt battery can be replaced with either a 9 or 12 volt battery, if you do so, you must also change the resistor value to the following: Batt Res. Value 6v 240 9v 360 12v 480 Make sure you don't use this on operator orignated calls. Otherwise this particular box plan is VERY VERY safe. When using it, after you answer the party will never know you are there, so you can screen calls that way .. work out a code with your friends who you'll allow to be Black Boxed, make it so they whistle while it is ringing or something so you know it's safe when you pick up to hit the pushbutton to kill the ringing. This is very important, if you DON'T hear the signal, DON'T black box that call! You can be nabbed if you mess up.
