12. Now put the phone number you wish to call in the phone directory
by pressing
ADD
(F5). Now type the name of the party. (Remember
to use the DEL key to correct any typing errors.) Press
RETURN.
Now type the phone number, including the area code enclosed in
parentheses. This can be any number up to 39 characters, including
spaces. Now press
RETURN
and then
EXIT (FlO)
to get back to
the main Directory Display.
13. Now you should be back at the Directory Display and the phone
number that you typed should be in reverse video. If not, press
the
UP
or
DOWN
arrow key so the number is in reverse video.
14. If you're in an office or anywhere else that requires the prefix you
(may have) entered in the last steps, press
PREFIX (Fl)
now to
dial it. If you didn't enter a prefix, skip this step.
15. Now press
DIAL (F2).
The computer will begin to dial and the
number will be shown in the "Dialed so far" line. When the number
has been dialed, pick up your phone and press
HANGUP (F7).
(Pressing "Hangup" doesn't hang up the phone, it simply takes the
computer out of the circuit. It's always necessary to press "Hangup,"
even if the line was busy or there was no answer.) You should
hear ringing or a busy signal. From here on, it's just like a regular
telephone call.
Now we'll do a little "Hands-On" exercise by entering a modem number
from the keyboard. This exercise serves three purposes: you'll know how
to communicate through the modem, you'll learn to dial from the keyboard,
and you'll be able to see what HUGs (Heath User's Group) electronic
bulletin board is like.
1. Press
KEYBOARD
(F5). You will be prompted to type a number
into the "Number to Dial" line.
2. Type: 1-616-982-3956M. (If you live in a 616 area code, you can
leave those numbers off, and type a prefix if you need one.) Use
the number keys in the top row of the typewriter keyboard. Back
up with the DEL key if you make a mistake, and retype. When
the number's exactly right, press
DIAL (F2).
