The
new D-3 line-powered circuit board is a series of "firsts" for a payphone.
This is the first truly Line-Powered phone, with all operating power derived
from the telephone line. A small lithium battery is used soley as a power
backup for the RAM and real-time clock when the phone is not connected to
a telephone line, such as during shipping or storage. The battery should
last up to 10 years, which is normal shelf life. No bulky, expensive battery
pack is used as a power supplement, and no charging is necessary. A new
method of switching has also been incorporated into the design of the D-3.
Normally electromechanical relays are used to switch power to and from the
circuit board. Now, that same process is handled by solid-state components
and robust transient/surge protection, also a first. Elimination of the
relays greatly enhances the product's reliability. Finally, the D-3 has
taken steps to fulfill ADA requirements by adding a volume control feature.
Simply attach a control button to the case and affix the wires to the back
of the keypad.
