Put on your headphones and listen. You may adjust the relative volume of your local microphone audio and the audio from Telos by adjusting the MIX control on the Xport's front panel.

4.Whether or not you have successfully connected, press the <DROP> button twice. You want to be sure to disconnect, as this may be an expensive call.

5.If you have successfully connected, go on to the next section. If you have not, try again. If you do not succeed, here are a few things to try:

•Wait an hour and try again. The Telos test line may be busy.

•If you need to dial a prefix (such as 9) try entering a pause after this digit and before the rest of the number it by pressing <#> twice (a "," will be displayed) when dialing.

•USA users should try calling using a different long- distance carrier. To do so, insert the carrier’s seven- digit access code. The number to dial starts with any prefix needed for you to get an outside line, followed by the long distance access code, followed by the Telos test line number. See section 5 for additional codes. Let us say you don’t need a prefix to dial out (and most people don’t) and you want to use MCI. Dial:

1010222 1 216- 781- 9310

If this works, you should contact your local telephone company to determine who your default long distance carrier is.

•Review the information in Section 5 (What if to do if…).

•Call Telos Customer Support for assistance. The Xport may provide error messages under some circumstances. Have these messages ready when you call, as they will help speed the process of solving your problem (see page iii).
