When using VCO through the Telecommunications Relay Service, you speak directly to the person you are calling.
A Communication Assistant (CA) types everything that the other person says so that you
can read it on your Ultratec Uniphone (or other TTY) display.
Making a VCO call through Relay using the
Ultratec Uniphone 1140:
- Press the Dial key and type the relay number using the number keys.
(The Ultratec Uniphone 1140 lets you speed-dial the Relay number if you have it
saved in the directory.)
- When the Relay CA answers, press the <Menu>+<V> key to
send a VCO request automatically. You will see VCO PLEASE GA on your display.
(If you are using a different TTY, simply type your request for using VCO).
- After the CA notifies you that VCO is ready, pick up the handset and
tell the CA the number and name of the person you want to call. The CA
dials the number.
- Watch the display and wait until the CA tells you the call is connected.
- Begin speaking to the person you are calling.
- When the other person answers, read his or her response on the Ultratec Uniphone
display (the CA types the response).
- When you see GA at the end of a line, begin speaking again.
- Continue speaking and reading until the conversation is finished.
- When you are finished, replace the handset and hang up the Ultratec Uniphone
by pressing the <Shift> key and the TTY on/off key at the same time.
NOTE: You may hold the handset for the entire VCO call. You do not need
to put the handset down each time you finish speaking. The Ultratec Uniphone automatically
turns off the handset when it receives TTY signals and turns it on again
when you speak.
You can also make direct VCO calls between two Ultratec Uniphone users, without the assistance of a Relay Service.
