305-005602 CONVERSATIONS 6/17/02 The Conversation keys allow you to do two things: (1) save a Conversation and (2) search through all Conversations in memory. 11:01 AM How Conversations Are Saved in Memory Page 38 The Compact/C automatically saves Conversations one after another in its memory. The newest line is at the bottom; the oldest at the top. Each time you add a new line, the old ones move up, like credits on a movie screen. The memory holds about 110 lines.
If there is not enough memory, the Compact/C starts from where you are when you begin recording and saves as far back to the beginning as it can. If you need more memory, you can clear old Memos before saving new ones. See Memory on page 21 for more information about storage space on the Compact/C. 11:01 AM Page 40 You can save an important Conversation by recording it as a Memo.

305-005602 6/17/02 11:01 AM Page 64 TTY ETIQUETTE GA means “Go ahead.” When two people converse by TTY, one types while the other reads. How does each person let the other know it’s his or her turn to type? By typing “GA.” SK means “I’m done.” It means the conversation is over. “GA or SK” is a polite way to say goodbye, giving the other person a chance to get in any last thoughts before hanging up. Q is often used instead of a question mark, because it’s easier to type.
