METER READING AND REPORTING
Understanding the system
The following points are very important to understand before
beginning to use the touchtone system:
•
Always wait for the system voice to finish a prompt before
entering data.
•
Always complete each entry with the # (pound sign). This
tells the system you have finished entering the data item it
requested. When you press the pound sign, the system
repeats the information you just entered and prompts you for
the next piece of information for the report.
•
Any time you want the system to repeat the voice prompt or
message it just completed, enter **3#.
•
When you want the system to cancel an entry it just read
back to you, enter **4#. After acknowledging the
cancellation, the system asks you to reenter the needed
information.
•
Enter **94# to cancel all data entered for a machine. It can
be used any time before you enter the pound sign that
completes the data entry for that machine. (Refer to step 5
in the following section.)
•
Each letter in the serial number must be translated into
numbers because letters are not individual keys on the
touchtone keypad.
— To tell the system you are about to enter a letter, press
the asterisk (*).
— Next, press the number key on the touchtone pad that
has the letter on it—press 7 for S, for example.
— Finally, press 1, 2, or 3 for the letter's position on the
key. S is in the third position on the 7 key, for example,
so you press 3. (The entire “code” for S is *73.)
Example: To enter the serial number 6D5789123, press
the following keys: 6 *31 5 7 8 9 1 2 3 #
Note: It is possible for a serial number to contain letters
in any or all of the first three positions. If there are no
letters, simply enter the nine numbers and the #. For
assistance in converting your serial numbers, refer to
table A-1.
