takes precedence and is used to pay for the tele­
phone call. If the magnetic stripe and chip are on
different sides of the card, the caller selects pay­

• Any time the caller hangs up or presses the next

Make a local call, the caller inserts the correct change and
dials the number. Or the caller may first dial the number.
If a caller deposits more than the amount for a local call, the
terminal will not refund the difference. However, if the caller
has not replaced the handset on-hook, the ♦ button can be
used to make more calls until the balance is used up or is
less than the cost of a local call.
Make a long distance (toll) call:
1. The caller picks up the handset, hears the dial tone, and
dials the telephone number or inserts a coin.
2. A data connection is made between the terminal and
Millennium Manager.
• If the number is dialed before a payment type is
chosen, the terminal will flash an initial rate on

rate to be the smart card rate. If the initial rate is

the terminal will correct the rate amount shown.
• If a coin is inserted before the number is dialed,
the terminal displays the amount required to
complete a local call. Once the number is dialed,
