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

1. Lift the handset when the phone

rings.

2. Press REL MSG. Read the incoming

message on the display.

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.

Communicating in Text Telephone
(TTY/TDD) Mode

Making a TTY Call:
You may use the Dialogue VCO to commu-
nicate with a text telephone (TTY/TDD).
The party you called will begin using their
TTY and send you a greeting message.
When the Dialogue VCO receives text
messages, it automatically switches from
regular telephone mode to text mode. The
screen will display “BAUDOT MODE,”
and then the text received. After “GA”
appears, you can then respond by using
the keypad of the Dialogue VCO to type
your messages.
