How to Set the Mode

About this task

To set the correct mode, dial the letters or numbers reset key before typing your message. If your TTY does not have letters/numbers reset keys, you can still get your TTY to generate the appropriate reset codes by doing the following:

Procedure

  1. If your message starts with letters, type a slash (/) or a number and press the space bar a few times before you type your message.

    This technique causes the receiving TTY to reset to letters mode.

  2. If your message starts with numbers, type X or another letter and press the space bar a few times before you type your message.

    This technique causes the receiving TTY to reset to numbers mode.
