Using the Relay Voice Announcer

RELAY VOICE

The relay voice announcer is a recording that tells a hearing person

you are answering with a text telephone and that the call should go

through TextDirect if the caller does not have a text telephone. It also

gives the number to dial for Typetalk.

When the signal light flickers, telling you that someone is speaking

instead of typing, press + /

RELAY VOICE

to turn on the Relay

Voice Announcer.

A man’s voice repeats ‘Please use text telephone or dial Typetalk

0800 515152.’ You will see the message on the display at the same

time. The message stops when someone starts typing.

NOTE: The Typetalk telephone number stored, 0800 515152, must be

changed to 18002 followed by your telephone number including the

area code (e.g., 1800201234756026 where the telephone number is

012343756026). Instructions on how to change the number are found

on page 60 under Changing the Relay Voice Announcer Number.

If you are using the Minicom 6000 Plus in auto answer in an

office/call centre situation, you may want to turn off the Relay Voice

Announcer. Instructions on how to do this can be found on page 62

under Turning Off the Auto-Answer Relay Voice Announcer.
