Well, with some basic tools you can make your own 'mute' button, which is far easier to operate (i.e. no holding a button down). To do this, you need the following: * Phone (get a two piece one made of plastic) * 1" Screw (One that is a good electric conductor, no coatings) * Electrical Tape * Screw driver * Soldering Iron or auto-drill (to make holes in phone) * Insulated Alligator clips (at least 4" long) NOTE: This box is ugly as hell, and so if you're living in your parents house, don't do it to the good phone ;) Now then, once you get the materials, it's time to begin. First, take the screws out of the phone so you can open it. If you can't find a screw, check under stickers and table pads. If all else fails, use a knife to open the phone with brute force, trying your best not to break anything. Next, locate the microphone. There should be two wires leading from it; red and black. Cut the red wire in half and strip both ends. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??? ===--.Diagram of face of phone.--=== ??? ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??? _________________________________ ??? ??? / / \ ??? ??? / ___ red wire / ear \ ??? ??? | ()---\__/ /_______ | piece |??? ??? \ \______________ \ / ??? ??? \_____________________________\___/ ??? ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? After this, wrap one of the exposed ends of the wire around the pointed end of the screw, and cover the entire exposed end, along with where it touches the screw, in electrical tape, all the way up to about 2 mm before the fat part of the screw. This is important, as it won't work properly if the two ends of the wire you cut touch. Now, on the other end of the wire you cut, wrap the exposed section around one end of the alligator clip, and cover that exposed end, and where it meets the alligator clip in electrical tape. Again, this is important. After that, heat up the soldering iron. When it is hot, make a hole in the phone in such a place and size that you can snugly fit the screw, and pull out one end of the alligator clip so that it dangles 1-2 inches below the screw. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ???=-.Diagram of hole in side of phone.-=??? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??? __ ______ ??? ??? /__\ /|____|\ ??? ???|/ \|______________________|/______\|??? ???| __ |??? ???|---------------(__)-----------------|??? ???|_______________|_||_________________|??? ??? | || screw ??? ??? | ++ ??? ??? | ??? ??? ^ alligator clip ??? ??? / \ ??? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Now, use some electrical tape to secure the screw in place, so it doesn't fall back inside the phone or out of the phone. Put the screws back in the phone and voila! You've made a ditto box. Now, to test it out. Plug the phone into the wall and make sure you get a dial tone. If you don't, then you need to make sure all points except the dangling end of the alligator clip and the fat end of the screw are COMPLETELY covered in electrical tape, and that you didn't solder the circuit board accidentally. To use it, just wait until someone picks up the phone, then pick up the ditto box phone. When the alligator clip isn't clasped on or touching the screw, no noise is transmitted through the phone. To talk, just clamp the alligator clip on. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??? =====----...Muted...----===== ??? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??? __ ______ ??? ??? /__\ /|____|\ ??? ???|/ \|______________________|/______\|??? ???| __ |??? ???|---------------(__)-----------------|??? ???|_______________|_||_________________|??? ??? | || ??? ??? | ++ ??? ??? | ??? ??? ^ ??? ??? / \ ??? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??? =====----...Un-muted...----====== ??? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??? __ ______ ??? ??? /__\ /|____|\ ??? ???|/ \|______________________|/______\|??? ???| __ |??? ???|---------------(__)-----------------|??? ???|_______________|_||_________________|??? ??? | /| ??? ??? --++ ??? ??? \ ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
