Battery Operated Field Telephone Set TA-312A/PT

The TA-312A/PT is a two-wire, battery-operated field telephone designed for robust voice frequency wire communications in field environments. It can function as a point-to-point communication link or integrate into a telephone system as a ringdown subscriber. The telephone set supports local battery (LB) and common battery (CB) manual operations or LB with CB signaling (CBS). Its compatibility with automatic switchboards is facilitated through an optional Tone Signaling Adapter (TA-955/PT), which attaches seamlessly without any modifications needed.
