About Auto ID
The Auto ID feature alerts a hearing person that you are calling from a text
telephone. It alerts the person by sending several audible tones over the
telephone line every few seconds. Auto ID helps emergency services detect that
you are calling by text telephone.
Auto ID comes on when you turn on your Minicom 6000 Plus and continues until
you start a conversation. If you are on-line, you will see
SENDING AUTO ID on
the display every time the Minicom 6000 Plus sends out tones.
Auto ID will also begin sending tones whenever no one types for a few minutes
during a conversation. It continues until someone starts typing.
