Turn off that &%*@* Cell Phone...sm

I know docs need to remain available but give us a break!  When it rings, please either turn it off or turn off the dictation machine and tend to your call.  I dont need their ------g phone blasting high volume in my ear, often while some inconsiderate jerk is trying to dictate over the loud ringing.  I had one clown the other day who actually left his cell ringing the entire 5 to 6 minutes during his dictation.  I felt almost deaf by the time he finished. 


dictaphone c-phone help
Hello: Can anyone tell me how to get the dial-tone to come through the headset rather than the handset? For some reason, today, the dial-tone is coming through the handset only and I cannot hear anything out of my headphones. Any help would be appreciated!

Anyone know how I can test a Dictaphone C-Phone?
I bought one used on e-Bay...it appears to work...I get a dial tone, but I can't use or program pedal functions until I'm connected. Any ideas? Thanks.

Dictaphone C-phone question. . . sm
Hello and thanks in advance to those who read and/or post any helpful information on this.

Have a new account using C-phone to access dictation. Volume is increasing and may have to hire someone to help me with the work. Is there a way to pull from the C-phone and create digital voice files to upload to an FTP for another MT to transcribe or would I need to just purchase another C-phone for that MT to use?

Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

Best, javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');

Dictaphone C-phone manual

Does anyone one possibly have a PDF file with the operating instructions for a C-phone.  Please.


Thanks in advance


Where is the best place to purchase dictaphone or C-phone?

Also, I am very unfamiliar with the different types of equipment out there.  I have worked for only 1 company in 7 years and use their equipment.  Can you tell me if there is a difference in the 2 pieces.  Also, I used to use a Lanier station when I first bega, would this be considered a dictaphone?


Thanks.


let me rephrase that - if you are using a dictaphone, etc. for voice, you will be on the phone the e

Need some help with Dictaphone C-phone programming the foot pedal..... sm
I have a coworker that needs to program her Dictaphone foot pedal.  The foot pedal does not stop or start the dictation from what I understand.  It is a used unit with no manual.  I had a C-phone years ago but do not ever remember having to program my pedal.  Thanks in advance!
What is the code to unlock "Program Locked" C-phone from Dictaphone
I have a Dictaphone C-phone that is in working condition but I can't use because it is in the "Program Locked" mode and I have no instructions on how to unlock it.  HELP ME!!!!
I agree..Turn off the darn pager and phone and shove the IM up their..bleep bleep bleep...
I'm sorry but in my opinion you have the worst job I have ever heard of. This explains the constant need for more help. Obviously, they've worked the other slaves to death.
Just turn it off and wait for the electricity to dissipate and then clean it and turn it back on. nm

Turn down such low low offers, turn industry around. sm
The way to figure is how many lines an hour do you do. There are 13 lines characters in a line (65 line length)
So say you TRY to average 4 pages an hour say 34 lines a page equal 139 lines, times your line rate.
139 X 4 cents a line = $5.56 an hour

and what if you don't do 4 pages even less.

MTing hourly hourly output is not very predictablel, so ya never know and predict what you can put out each hour.
THE WAY TO TURN THE INDUSTRY AROUND IS TO SPEAK UP, SAY 'NO' THAT IS TOO LOW AND GIVE SHORT EXAMPLE.

If the MTs continue to accept, that is what the going rate will continue to be. Yes, Yes, it will. Just keep looking. Email for general lowest to highest line rate prior to testing and resume, just say it saves time on both sides and it DOES. Why waste time. Soon, the message will get out there.
Turn off puter, wait a min, turn on with delete key pressed down, then hit delete key NUMEROUS times

C-phone used to call in to dictating systems to receive work. A special phone. nm

I had a lot of trouble with static in my C-phone. I replaced the phone cord and that made a big

difference.  Also, have you tried a different headset?  Also someone told me one time that there is a microphone under your volume control on the right corner of the C-phone.  It's a tiny hole.  If you break off a Q-tip and stick that into the hole that will squelch a lot of background noise and that worked as well.  As far as getting your C-phone service, I heard that Dictaphone is "sunsetting" C-phones at the end of this year.  Meaning, they aren't going to service them anymore as they are considered an obsolete technology.  So, I would contact Dictaphone and see what your options are.


I know very little about Lanier equipment.  I've not used it as extensively as Dictaphone.  Is there a local appliance repair place in your area?  You might ask one of those places to take a look at your equipment and see what they think.  Kinda scary, cause they could do more harm than good, but maybe worth a shot.


Not much help, I know.  But I thought I would share what tiny bit of obscure knowledge I do have. 


I've changed them between an old phone and new phone, but the same company, i.e. Nextel.

I use my c-phone whenever we travel. You can hook it directly into your room phone. Be sure and as

I am wondering if there is a way to use your C-phone with Vonage phone service?

May have to change phone companies, have switched to job using a C-phone. sm
Currently have Embarq (formerly Sprint), and my usage will be going up about 12,000 minutes a month.  What phone companies offer really unlimited for a flat rate?  TIA.
C-phone and ATT. There is no problem with the C-phone, but ATT wouldn't let me use unlimited.

I have cable phone access and my C-phone works - sm
I am not sure about you problem, because it sounds just like I have mine hooked up.  The only thing I can think of is that mine has 2 line hookups in the back of the phone.  If you have this too, I would just try the other one, which you probably have already done.  Sorry that was not much help.  I wish you luck
I have a very loud hum when using my C-phone, but no hum when I'm using the regular phone. SM

Anyone else experience this problem with their C-phone?  Is there a problem with my C-phone?  At first I thought it was my telelphone line and called the phone company.  They sent a technician out to replace the lines and check the house, but the hum is still there on the C-phone.


It's driving me batty!


C-phone info regarding phone lines etc.
I am completely clueless on the subject of a C-phone.  Can someone help me understand exactly how this works?  Do you have to specifically have a separate "dial up internet" service to use the C-phone? I currently have cable internet and am wondering if there is anything else I need to get.  I guess I should contact my phone company.  At any rate, any help anyone could give would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!
If you use a C-phone for work and have a digital phone

through cable, have you tried to take an incoming call?


We only have one phone line.  I rarely get/make calls and when I do we have cell phones.  I just started working with a C-phone and got digital phone.  I can go a month and my phone not ring, so far have gotten 3 calls today, but I'm afraid that if I try to answer the phone that I will lose my report. 


I guess I could pull up a report and have my husband call on his C-phone and test it that way and then if I lose it no biggie. 


 


 


Anyone use/try C-phone with Medicom's phone service?
Wondering if it works?
turn it down some more
We usually keep it at 67 in the winter, 78 in the summer, but this winter will move it to 64 or 65 during the day and probably cooler at night. We live down south so that's not that bad. If we lived up north those thermostat settings would cost us way too much money! I remember keeping it low to stretch out the heating oil a little bit more. Good luck to all of you up there.
had to turn them down
I got a job offer from them, but I only have been in this business for about 9 mos now, so all they could offer me was their mentoring program at 6.5 cpl. they have a mandatory 12-week training program which sounds great for the all the feedback and communication. However, the biggest drawback for me (besides the paycut) was that after you become an employee you have to SIGN a piece of paper statng that you will stay employed with them for 1 year following their training, and no chance of any raise until 6 mos after you sign on. Too many negatives for my life right now.
why not turn it into a little bit ot fun for you?
When I get that call from India (where they usually insist they are calling from one of the states), I assume a very thick accent and ask questions.

Why, suga, you don't know my nahim? I cuda sworn I gave it to ya laest tyme! Tell you whayat...let me talk to someone without an Indyian accent who can hear me, wontcha do thayat for me, hunnee?

There is always the northeast accent.

Yo, youse want my name? For wat? Wyse do youse think I wanna talk to you today? Eh? Whatcha gonna do 'bout it, eh? You're in New York? Get Out! Me too! You uptown or midtown? Which rail you ride to work?

They usually hang up at that point pffttt!! :}
Can you turn off

the abbreviation Expander in Bayscribe?  I use ShortHand and have to do that in ChartScript.  SH works great when I do that. 


I should have also said we are to turn off
the automatic numbering because it also causes problems for our software.
Turn down
the hate volume. Going to pop a cork!

Tell your supervisor to talk to the QA person about excessive nagging. Do something about it.
Turn off
Any screensavers you may have set to start.

Ctrl+Alt+Del will start task manager, where you can see any programs or processes that are running.


you can also turn off
While you're there, UNcheck the *allow indexing service* box. If you need to find a file on your computer, use Google Desktop. The chances of having to search for something by suffix are slim, not worth the performance cost of allowing indexing. If you need to do this, run it while you're asleep.
Yes it is something I can turn off...sm
When I come on the message board or am sendng emails to friends, I don't sit there and take the time to do everything "proper" and all. I do things "proper" all day. I proofread all day. When I come on here I am not worried about my message if it isn't perfect. I know proper English but sometimes you just get tired of being so perfect all day. I can and do turn it off and when I need it turn it on.
What a TURN-OFF

Who in their right mind would apply?  Maybe its our good friend Tonya at 6 cpl again...


my turn!

Okay - here's my reply - Your turn!
You really are in serious need of psychiatric attention/medication, but I have a life to lead and am leaving you to post your reply and move on with your delusional life.

Awaiting your witty and egocentric reply! :)
Okay, here's my posting. Your turn!

Maybe your multitude of friends you go out socializing with aren't available today and that's why you're trolling MT boards on Saturday afternoon?


Saturday's my day off and I come to these boards to check in. I no longer do MT because I saw what happens to people who have no life away from their computer. I have a career outside the home and have people to talk to that aren't behind a monitor wolfing down a bag of Cheetos. You're a perfect example.


Now, before your imaginary entourage of social butterflies stops by to take you to the country club, hurry up and post your angry response. This is actually amusing, and makes me so glad that I don't have to deal with the mentally ill on message boards to take up time before my next shift.


I have better things to do than argue with the socially retarded, but do enjoy the board today and have fun! Clearly that's all you have. 


Actually, if you did turn around and sell

the computer and stole the SS numbers, don't you think you would be arrested and maybe go to jail or even be fined. 


Sure, ya could, but would ya!


Go turn on the TV then and leave us alone
without your almight permission.
Turn it off and unplug everything!
No NEVER! I believe at MQ if you lose your equiptment because you left it plugged in during a storm, they won't pay to replace it. Atleast that is what I was told a few years back. Needless to say, they used to send out e-mails saying this is thunderstorm season and make sure you unplug both your computer AND your phone lines if a storm approaches!
turn off and unplug
Unplug from the wall, even your protector, and be sure to unplug your phone line if you use one for the computer, your router if you have one, or your high speed modem. The surge protectors fail. We have one that was nearly 200. and during a storm it got fried along with the tv that was plugged to it.
In turn, I agree with you. LOL!
Now, granted, my first response today was a bit testy, but I was not calling names in the other topic and I wanted to make that particular point clear. :)

Everyone has to make their own moral and ethical decisions in life, and just because someone makes a different decision than mine does not mean they're an evil person or deserve to be insulted, called names, aspersions cast on their character, etc. It does NOT necessarily mean that I'm going to remain silent and reserve my opinion on the issue, though.

Decisions with an element of risk are made every day, and most of them turn out fine. I'm not comfortable with drinking on the job and would not employ anyone I discovered doing it, but if someone else is, then that's their choice and may they never regret it.
So how many lines did it turn out to be?

Well technically they can't turn it off here unless the
