Special Features (Continued)
To type a TTY message, use the keys of the keypad and their corresponding letters (i.e. number 2 is also for letters A, B, and C). On the screen, watch the character above the cursor change as you repeat- edly press the same key. When the desired letter is shown, wait one second for the cursor to advance to the next space. Then enter the next character. SPACE is used as the space bar, and BACK- SPACE is used for backspace and correc- tion. The letters “Q” and “Z” are located in key number 1, other characters of punc- tuation are created with the *, 0, and # keys.
Text Transmission Speed Selection:
The Dialogue VCO defaults to the U.S baud rate of 45.5 when using text com- munications. To change to International baud rate, just press SELECT then AUTO ANS. The screen will read "INT SPEED SELECTED." You can switch back to U.S. speed in the same manner or by hanging up.
