transmit signal is generated. When the telephone handset is liffted off the hook, the 48 volts drops to about 5 or 6 volts. The voltage divider formed by R1 and R2 places about 1 to 1.5 volts on the base of Ql which turns it on and raises the collector to almost 9 volts. This turns Q2 on which turns Q3 on and allows it to generate the transmit signal. Q3 along with R6, R7, R8, C3, C4, C5, operating in the FM broadcast band.

INTRODUCTION
Among the many ways to transmit from a telephone line, the tiny XTI-1 00 FM transmitter is probobly one of the simplest and easiest to use. It will transmit both sides of a telephone conversation to any nearby FM radio or headset type reciever. For example, a person could perform outdoor activities such as yard work while monitoring his or her telephone back inside the house. Since the circuit places a resistance of only 470K Ohms across the phone line, it is virtually undetectable by the phone company. It is triggerd only when the telephone is in use, so it draws no current from the battery between calls. As a result, the 9 volt transistor battery should last for weeks or even months without being replaced. The battery life will be determined by how much your phone is used. This transmitter is easy to build, easy to use, and is recommended for almost anyone that can handle a soldering iron. It can be completly assembled and ready to use in a single evening.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Use the schematic Diagram to help follow the description of operation. Resistors Rl and R2 form a voltage divider across the tel~phone line. Diodes D1 and D2 protect the rest of the circuitry from the , ringing voltage when the phone rings. When the phone is "on the hook", 48 volts is applied across the voltage divider which places 12 volts at the base of Ql which turns it off. With Ql off, 0 volts appears at the base of Q2. This turns Q2 off. With Q2 turned off, no current can flow through Q3. With all three transistors turned off, no battery current can flow and no

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Follow the instructions carefully. Read each step thoroughly before you proceed with the operation. Each part used in the assembly has an associated component number (R12, C3, etc.) called a designator. These numbers appear in several places in the manual and should be used whenever possible. This will make the task of following instructions as easy as possible. Soldering - Soldering is one of the most important operations you will perform while assembling this project. A good solder joint forms an electrical connection between the parts, such as the component lead and the circuit track. A poor solder connection can cause the unit to work poorly or not at all. It is easy to make a good solder joint if you follow a few simple rules: - Use the right type of soldering iron. A 22 to 25 watt pencil type with a fine tip will work best. - Keep the soldering iron tip clean. Wipe it often on a wet sponge or cloth. Apply solder to the tip to give it a wet look. This is called tinning the soldering iron tip. If the solder tends to "ball up" or not stick to the tip, it needs to be cleaned and tinned again. Turn the iron off, let it cool and then file or sand-paper the tip to clean it before attempting to tin it again. Always use rosin core, radio-type solder (60:40 tin lead content) for all the soldering on this unit. The use of any other type of solder (acid core, paste solder, etc.) will void your warranty and we will not service your unit Parts Placement - Position all parts as shown in the assembly diagram. Install all parts and wires on the side of the circuit board opposite as shown to the right. Solder and clip off excess leads. Check off when you finish: Resistors - Form the resistor leads as shown to the right so they fit the circuit board. Install each resistor on the side of the circuit board opposite the circuit track as shown. Press it against the circuit board and bend the leads outward slightly to hold it in place. Solder the resistor in place as follows: Hold the soldering iron tip against the lead and the circuit track. Apply solder to the side opposite the tip. As the solder begins to melt, allow it to flow around the connection. Remove NOTE: SHADED AREAS REPRESENT CIRCUIT TRACKS ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD

Capacitors - Insert the ceramic disc

capacitors into the circuit board on the side opposite the circuit track, as shown in the Assembly Diagram. Solder and clip off the excess leads. Insert C3, as shown in the Assembly Diagram, and solder it in place. Check them off as you finish:

Antenna - Insert the antenna lead on the component side of the circuit board as shown in the Assembly Diagram. CAUTION! Don't make the antenna any longer than is required to meet the range requirements you need. The longest range achieved is with an antenna that is one quarter the wave length (approximately 30 inches). If your antenna is made too long, you may exceed the maximum output power for the transmitter. This can cause the transmitter to stop oscillating. Solder the antenna wire and clip off the excess lead. Check off when you finish:
( )Antenna

Diode - Install the diodes similar to the resistors as shown in the Assembly Diagram. Be sure and install it according to the location of the band. Solder DIODE and clip off the excess BAND leads and check them off when you finish:

FINAL ASSEMBLY
Solder the red and green hook up wires to the circuit board as shown in the assembly diagram. Make sure the green and red wires are soldered in the correct location, or the polarity will be incorrect.

CIRCUIT CHECKOUT
Transistors - Install the transistors as
shown in the Assembly Diagram. Solder and cI ip off the excess leads and check them off when you finish: Double check all circuitry for proper assembly and short circuits. Check and make sure each transistor is correctly installed in the proper location. Check each resistor and make sure the resistor values are properly located. Connect a 9 volt transistor battery to the battery snap. Set a near by FM receiver to a quiet spot near 108 MHz and adjust C3 until you hear the squeal of audio feedback or untill the background noise is blanked out. Note that several tunning points of C3 may affect your receiver but only the strongest point is correct. The others will be weak and unstable. It may help to increase the distance between the transmitter and receiver 10 to 15 feet. Use a non-metallic tunning tool and tune C3 slowly and carefully since it is a very sensitive adjustment and will require patience to set it right on the desired frequency. For maximum range, use a 30 inch antenna wire (No. 24 to 26 insulated stranded wire). However, it is recommended that you keep the antenna as short as possible while still meeting your needs to avoid exceeding the federally allowed power level for experimentors.

Inductors - Install L1 as shown in the Assembly Diagram, simi liar to the way the resistors are installed. Check off L1 when you finish:

If it has not already been done, form L2 by wrapping six (6) turns of No. 22 enamaled solid wire on a 5/32 drill bit. Strip and tin (pre-solder) the ends of the coil. Install the coil on the component side of the circuit board. Solder and clip off the excess leads. Check off L2 when you finish:

CAUTION! DO NOT TUNE THE UNIT ABOVE 108 MHz IF YOU LIVE NEAR AN AIRPORT OR AN AIR TRAFFIC LANE.

IMPORTANT
There are two legal considerations you should be aware of. First, the FCC frowns on any FM transmitter with a range of much more than a few hundered feet. Second, it is illegal to use any device to listen to or bug any conversation without the consent of all parties involved. NOTE: These voltage readings depend on the actual voltage of the battery and may vary up to + or - 0.25 Volts

INSTAllATION
To install simply attatch the red wire to the red wire of the phone line, and the green wire to the green wire of the phone line. This can be done at any point in the phone line. Now snap the 9 volt battery to the battery clip, and the circuit will transmit both sides of the telephone conversation from any phone connected to that phone line. You can use any FM radio to receive the transmission.

IN CASE OF TROUBLE
(1) Check each solder connection. Make sure the solder is smooth and that no solder bridges, splashes, or shorts exist. (2) Check the transistors for proper installation. (3) Check each resistor and capacitor value carefully. Make sure the correct value has been installed. (4) Be sure all wires and leads installed on the circuit board have been trimmed as close to the board as possible. (5) Make sure all diodes have been installed with the correct polarity. (6) Turn your unit on and measure the voltages on the transistors and compare them to the table on page 11. Use these readings to locate the problem or a defective part.
