JUMPTO LETTER MODE WHEN YOU USE A MOBILE PHONE
There are many new technologies that have been used to establish the wireless communication
link between you and the other TTYusers. Sometimes, you will get some problems by many
different causes. Garbled text causes high errors in receiving of a TTY. The signal may miss one
or two characters but the receiving display may show some numbers or exclamation marks, etc.
for a long period of time. It is the nature of 5-bit Baudot code. It uses a code to toggle between
letter characters and number characters. If this code is missing in the transit, the rest of the
message will be in number mode until the next letter code is sent. If the character mode does not
change, the transmitter will send out letter code in every 80 characters. This procedure makes the
garbled text become unacceptable. If you are not using a lot of numbers and punctuation marks in
the conversation you can jump to letter mode only when receiving in bad condition. You may
need to set mix mode back if the other party sends you a phone number or the amount in number,
etc. Press (CTRL)+(J) to jump to letter mode. The display will show: ’[letter mode]’. Press space
bar to initialize the unit. Use (CTRL)+(S) to check the status of the mode:
[NORMAL] [VCO OFF]
[MOBILE] [ LET] [ 45B ]
To switch back to mix mode for receiving numbers and letters, press (CTRL)+(J) again. Do not
jump to letter mode if you are receiving well.
