AP 100
This set is composed of a two-way amplifier and telephone instrument, both fitted in one cover. The exterior of the set is similar to that of the standard Ericsson. It is designed for use by persons with poor hearing and also for use with lines having low transmission properties. For this latter reason amplification of outgoing speech has also been provided for. The maximum amplification of incoming speech is about 2.3 neper (20 db) and this amplification can be regulated by means of a potentiometer, the knob of which is placed in the bottom right hand corner of the set. The input level should not, however, exceed about 1.3 neper (11.5 db), to avoid distortion. For outgoing speech the amplification is usually adjusted so that zero level is obtained at the near end of the line.

For lines giving poor transmission the output can be adjusted to a certain positive level by altering the tappings of a transformer. In this manner the amplification can be regulated 0.8 neper (7 db) in steps of 0.2 neper (1.75 db). The highest possible output level will consequently be + 0.8 neper (7 db). AP 100 is connected as an extension to an ordinary telephone instrument. Calls can then be carried on from the main instrument which is connected as usual, or from the amplifier, which is automatically connected when its handset is lifted. For calling, the main instrument must be used; this instrument also receives the incoming signals.

The AP 100 can be connected as extension instrument to any system. When connected to an automatic system the handset of the amplifier, from which a conversation is to be carried on after a call has been made from the main instrument, must be lifted before the handset of the main instrument is replaced.

The set requires a battery RK 220 of 1.5 V and a battery RK 810 of 60 V; these two batteries may be fitted in a battery case RK 2312.

AP 110
This telephone is specifically intended for connection to the Swedish national telephone network. It is similar to DAH9001 and
contains essentially the same parts as this one.

The AP 100 is superseded by the DAH 9001 and the AP 110 by the DAH 9002.
