ABSTRACT:
An annunciator is connectable between a phone line terminal and a telephone. The annunciator includes a connector for connecting to a ring conductor in the terminal. A sense circuit is coupled to the connector and converts the ring signal to a control signal. The annunciator further includes a speaker and a memory for storing data indicative of a distinctive annunciation pattern. A processor is responsive to an input control signal from the sensor circuit to utilize the data from the memory to drive the speaker to output the distinctive annunciation pattern. The processor further includes an input for enabling a user to input the distinctive annunciation pattern so that the pattern can be stored for later access by the processor.
