- The Crimson Box is very simple device
- that will allow you to put someone on
- hold or make your fone busy with a
- large amount of ease. You flip a switch
- and the person can't hear you talking.
- Flip it back and everything is peechy.

- First I will give you the schematic and
- then I will explain what the hell is
- going on.

- 1 2 3
-
- Ok. The '/\/\/' is the resistor. And
- '1 2 3' is the switch where the numbers
- are the poles on the switch. Notice you
- leave the black and yellow wires alone.
- You DO NOT cut them!
-
- Strip the red and green wires so you've
- got about an inch of bare wire. Solder
- some of the extra wire and follow the
- schematic. You should have the resistor
- on the green wire with an extra piece
- of wire coming from one leg of it. The
- other leg goes to the other end of the
- green wire. You should solder the green
- wire to the left pole of the switch and
- the red to the middle and the other
- end of the red to the right pole.
-
- Now, lift up the phone. If all you get
- is an annoying buzz then throw the
- switch and you should get a dial tone.
- If not, don't worry and just follow the
- instructions and schematic again.
