Swedish term or phrase: signalläge
Men det här projektet var mer komplicerat eftersom man i en konsumenttelefon snabbt och lätt måste kunna växla mellan talläge och signalläge. Detta hade han tänkt lösa genom en klyka som påverkades av en stålwire med upphängningsögla när man lyfte av och hängde upp luren på en krok.

Explanation:
again relying on this page http://www.telephonecollecting.org/receiver.html the phrase "växla mellan talläge och signalläge" seems to be referring to switching between transmitting and receiving modes -- on very early phones, people would listen and speak into the same bit of the receiver (as shown in fig. 6 on that page).
