Wiring The Model 700

The model 700 seems to have been made in several configurations. The two I am dealing with here represents the vast majority of the phones out there. I have run into others, but I have not yet taken the time to figure them out.

Here are two different methods, use the one that works for you.

1. L1 to terminal 1 with jumper to 2, L2 to terminal 4.

2. L1 to terminal 4 and L2 to terminal 5 with a jumper to terminal 10.

In both cases, add a .68µf 250v capacitor across terminals 3 and 4 if it won't ring.

In Britain, you will need to use the yellow and black from the plug instead of the red and white.
When working on this phone, be sure not to flex the ribbon cables too much. They tend to pull out of the circuit board if pulled on or are flexed too much.
