This telephone can operate in two modes:
• Text mode – the telephone can be used to send* and
receive typed messages
• Voice mode - the telephone functions as a standard voice
telephone allowing you to make voice calls to other voice
telephone users
Using a combination of these modes together with the help of a
Text Relay operator, this telephone enables you to have two-way
communication with a mixture of text and voice.
Voice mode allows you to speak to the other caller, whilst text
mode allows you to read their response on the screen. The Text
Relay operator will type what the other caller is saying to you (see
summary diagram below).
Switching between modes is controlled by the V/T key.
It acts as a toggle between voice mode and text mode.
In the icon area of the screen it will state the current
mode i.e. VOICE or TEXT. This will help to remind you which
mode the telephone is currently working under.
