allow the other person to type. You may also choose to ignore the

Interrupt
Turbo Code Interrupt allows you to inject a thought or make a
comment, just as you can in a face-to-face conversation. It is made
possible by Turbo Code, an improved version of Baudot code that
gives your Compact/C some additional capabilities (see Using Turbo
Code on page 26 for more information).
To interrupt the other person while they are typing:
1. The call must be connected in Turbo Code to another TTY
that also has Turbo Code capability. To turn on Turbo Code,
hold down and press the key (see Using Turbo Code
on page 26).
When the call is connected in Turbo Code, the symbol
appears in the upper left corner of your display.

About Auto ID
The Auto ID feature alerts a hearing person that you are calling
with a TTY. It alerts the person by sending several audible tones
over the telephone line every few seconds. Auto ID helps emergency
services such as 911 detect that you are calling by TTY. Auto ID is
not the same as Caller ID, a separate service available through your
telephone service provider that requires additional equipment.
Once Auto ID is on, it comes on automatically when you turn on
your Compact/C and continues until you start a conversation. If you
are on-line, you will see SENDING AUTO ID on the display every
time the Compact/C sends out tones.
