Special Features (Continued)

4.The phone sends and displays this message on the screen; “I AM A VCO USER, PLS CALL (number stored in memory button selected), GA”. You don’t need to voice the phone number. If necessary, press the same memory button to repeat the message.

5.When connected, proceed with the call as in normal VCO communica- tions.

The above procedure works only when the telephone is in text mode. When operat- ing in the telephone mode, pressing any memory button dials the phone number stored in that memory. (See "Memory Dialing" section)

Answering VCO Calls

3.When you see "GA" on the screen, speak to the calling party. If nothing appears on screen, it is not a VCO call, it is a voice call. Say into the phone, “I am a VCO user. Please call me through your state relay operator”. Provide the relay service voice line number.

4.Continue your conversation by reading and talking.

We strongly advise you to tell your friends and associates to call you through the relay service using the voice relay number for their state.
