Experiment #2 Entering the Terminal Mode
There are two ways to enter the Terminal Mode:
• Automatically via auto-dialing
• Manually via the Term Function Key «(g)
Manual Entry
Suppose you wish to contact an information service whose telephone number is
123-4567.
I. Set the ANS/ORIG switch (on the left side of the Computer) to ORIG.
2. Access TELCOM.
3. Lift the receiver and dial the host's telephone number.
4. When the host answers, you will hear a high-pitched tone. Press Term
(CBJ).
After pressing Term, the Model 100 will produce a high-pitched tone to indicate it has
entered the Terminal Mode.
Also, the definitions of the Function Keys will change as the display shows:

For a detailed discussion of the role of the Function Keys in the Terminal Mode,
consult your owner's manual.
Automatic Entry
To enter the Terminal Mode automatically, you must first store the host's telephone
number in the ADRS.DO file followed by the special symbols
<>.
This phone
number and the symbols
<>
must also be enclosed within colons.
For example, the telephone number of our hypothetical information service would be
stored as:
IS :123-4587
<>:
where I S is your code for the information service.
(If
you require extra information for storing telephone numbers in the ADRS.DO file
consult your owner's manual.)
