CHAPTER

Your Minicom 6000 Plus is ready for use in Great Britain when you turn it on.

When you type a message to someone, your Minicom 6000 Plus sends sounds

over the telephone line. The other minicom ‘translates’ those sounds into letters

that are read by the other person. These sounds are called a code.

Different kinds of minicoms use different codes, like people from different

countries who use different languages. Both your Minicom 6000 Plus and the

minicom used by the person you are conversing with have to use the same code

in order to communicate.

To make this easy, the Minicom 6000 Plus has an ‘automatic code.’ This means

that when you make or receive a call within the U.K., the Minicom 6000 Plus will

make sure that the right code is used.

If you make or receive calls from other countries, it may be necessary to

manually select a different code before you will be able to communicate properly.
