2.Place the telephone handset into the cups with the cord on the left.

3.Turn on your printer if you want to print your conversation.

4.Dial the phone number using the tele- phone.

5.When the party answers, begin your con- versation in the usual way.

6.When the conversation is over, turn the TTY off. Return the handset back to the phone cradle.

J.Using Help Menu

The DIALOGUE III TTY comes equipped with help menus to assist you in using the various features. These menus are especially helpful when using the TTY when the users guide is un- available or when only a quick reference is need- ed. To activate the help menu:

1.Hold down and press ? . The primary help menu will scroll across the screen and will be printed if the printer is turned on. This menu lists the various features and shows which keys are used to access them.

2.Hold down and press any of the top row function keys to view the help mes-

sage for that particular function. For

instance, holding down and pressing

1would display and print the instructions for using the Phone Directory.

3.To exit from the help menu, hold down

and press or just

resume typing.

K. Date and Time Stamping

Everytime you print or record a conversation/message, it automatically records the date and time at the beginning of your call, presuming that the clock is set prior to this. Follow these steps for setting the clock, and remember that NO RETURN KEY PRESS IS

NECESSARY IN THIS OPERATION. The machine will jump automatically from step to step, if the step was completed correctly.

1.Hold down and press T to set the built-in timer. It shows the current timer settings, then it prompts you to enter the current time ENTER HOUR=MINUTE= .

(If you do not want to change, just hold

down and press twice to return to normal TTY operation). Type in hour, minutes-2 digits for each entry, with no space or separation key in between. For example, for 1:36 you would enter 0136. Note: It will not accept a time setting like 23:05, you have to enter 11:05 PM. After entering a group of 4 valid digits, it will prompt you for choos- ing AM or PM: ENTER AM/PM=. You have to type A or P for your choice.

2.The clock screen prompts you now for today’s date ENTER MONTH=DATE=YEAR= . Again, the correct input is two digits for each- month, day, year- without any sep- aration character or space. For Example, for July 8, 2000 you would enter 070800.

3.Once the last digit of the year setting typed, the machine returns to the opera-

tion previous to the clock setting proce- dure. To check the time, hold down

and press T again, and the current set- ting will appear on the screen. If you want to change anything, hit ENTER until you get to the screen you need, and follow one of the steps above. If you want to go back to your operation, hold down

and hit	twice. (pressing
	once will take you back to step 1)

4.The date and time clock will continue to run whether or not the AC adapter/charg- er is plugged in or not, presuming that the

battery pack is charged. To check the cur-

rent date and time hold down and

press T . 17
