VCO AND HCO
CALLING
VCO AND HCO CALLING • 31
CHAPTER
5
If you cannot hear but wish to speak for yourself during a call, you
can use Voice Carry-Over (VCO). When you use VCO, you speak
into a telephone handset. The other person can hear what you say and
then respond by typing back on a text telephone keyboard.
If you wish to hear what the other person says and type your
response, you can use Hearing Carry-Over (HCO). When you use
HCO, you listen with a telephone handset and then respond by typing
on the Minicom 6000.
You can make VCO calls in Baudot, EDT, CCITT and Turbo Code.
See
Using Different Codes for VCO/HCO on page 32 for more
information. You should use VCO and HCO in direct connect mode
whenever possible.
Direct Connect Setup for VCO or HCO
If you want to use VCO or
HCO when your Minicom
6000 is directly connected to
the telephone line, you will
need the following:
• A standard telephone.
• A telephone socket
doubler. You can get one
at any store that sells
telephones.
Plug the Minicom 6000 and the telephone into the same telephone
socket using the socket doubler.
