Hi George and all,
To add to George's point, keep in mind that a USB device running at
the usual 5V 2A can be powered from a USB battery as well as the PC or
wall. This makes it very portable which would be particularly useful
if one were using it for a cellular phone through Bluetooth. I realize
that the device from the RNIB doesn't do this, but there's no reason
another device wouldn't use Bluetooth and have the usual RJ11 jack so
that one can use it with any phone, mobile or landline.

I think if one was designing something like this today, it would be good to
consider using a conventional Mains to USB power supply.
I'm seeing more and more of these and love the fact that I have the option
to power from the mains adaptor or my PC.

Hi George,
Yes, it doesn't tell you the voltage of the power adapter though, that's
where the picture comes in. Friend of mine thinks it is 6V.
All the best
Steve

Hi Steve,
Don't tell me the Description Tab is not available? Here's what it says
anyway:
"There are three modes; telephone, computer and mixed. In telephone and
computer mode you will hear either the call or your computer in both ears
through your headset. In mixed mode you will hear your telephone call in one
ear and your computer program in the other three volume controls allow you
to change the telephone, computer and microphone volumes to suit your needs
supplied with a headset and microphone, stereo extension cable, phone line
cable and mains power adaptor. "

Hi,
Yes, just looked at it again. It seems to have a 6 volt DC ppower adapter.
That's from someone looking at the picture for me.
All the best

Hi Alison,
An interesting contraption. So I assume it plugs into your RJ11 phone
socket and "steals" the electricity from your phone line to power it.
This could be the advantage of a battery powered, or USB version that would
work through the 2.5mm socket of your phone, to provide a headset.
Still investigating.
All the best
Steve
