6. Making Calls
From the home screen of your E5, you dial using the number keys on the keypad or by selecting
a number from your "Contacts" list. Also, if you press the green, or Call/Answer button, you
TM
will see a list of Dialed numbers. Use the center Navi
or scroll key to go left, and you will see
your Received calls. Once you have selected the number you want, press the green Call/Answer
key to initiate the call. Your call will automatically be connected to the Relay Center.
When the Relay Communications Assistant (CA) comes on the line he or she will send their ID,
such as MCC 1234(F) meaning the CA is a female and has number 1234. The CA will inform you
by captions if the line is busy or ringing, or if voicemail picks up. Note that it usually takes about
20 seconds for the party's phone to ring. During that time, the MCC application is calling the
Relay Center, the CA is coming on the line, and the outgoing call is made. The CA will also enter
any further digits you need, such as for voice mail options.
The Relay Communications Assistant (CA) will have minimal involvement in your call. If you see
the phrase "too fast," it means the CA is having trouble tying everything the other party says.
You may want to ask your party to slow down or repeat. You are in control of your call.
To End the call, please press the red End/Power key on the right above the keypad.
If you are in a remote area, or the network is very busy, it is possible that auto call set up will
not be available. If this happens, you will get a message in red to tell your party's number to the
CA. Once you do so, the CA will make the call for you.
You may also dial "0" to reach a CA anytime, then tell the CA the number you wish to call.

from anywhere in the U.S.
