<div>I seem to recall that you can just plug in another phone to the tele-q and talk normally as the tele-q provides the talk battery needed.

<p style="margin: 0 0 1em 0; color: black;">What about hooking it up to a
ClearCom system? Does the call signal generate enough to ring the phone?<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We’re doing a show with a phone that needs to ring
on stage. I have an old Tele-Q box that works so I can make the
ringer work. Now the director would like to have audio from
one of the other characters coming through the handset
speaker. I have a pretty good idea of how to make this work but
I have a couple of questions of the hive mind to see if I have all bases
covered. If there is a device for doing this that would be the
best solution.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
