...into the computer in the jack that you plug speakers into.

Try re-programming it using one of the black buttons above the number pad.  I do not use the speaker/mute button for my headset but programmed it using the first black button at the top of the row on the left-hand side.  Try that and it should work without disconnecting you every time.  Hope that makes sense

Hi all!

My question is "When my C-phone call is connected what is the sequence of buttons that are pushed (in what order?) so that connecting my headset doesn't drop the call?"  I have a program button set up as #*11, as per the manual for my headset.  However, when my call is connected and I press speaker/mute and then the headset program key, or when I press the headset program key first, either way, my call gets disconnected.  Any thoughts of what I may be doing wrong?  Thanks so much!

I got this on 06/01/07 from MT Stars - here it is for you to program

Make sure the Dictaphone is plugged in and also into the wall phone jack.

Notice the display screen at the top of the Dictaphone, 3 gray buttons under the display.

Press the left gray button under the word PRGM.

The display will now read

PROGRAM

KEYS ID/TIME TEL

Press the gray button below the word KEYS.

The display will now read SELECT PROGRAM KEY.  At this point push one of the 16 black keys below the display on the telephone keypad.  If you are programming your headset for example, select any one of the 16 black keys that you want.  Press that black key. 

The display will now say ENTER NUMBER.  For headsets programming #*11 (that is, the POUND key, the STAR key and then the number 11)

Now press the MULTIPLY KEY to the right of the telephone keypad.  This key says SELECT on top of it and has an X multiply function on it.

Press the STOP key to exit programming function.  The STOP key is located second from the right on the top row of the keys on the bottom of the C-phone.

Hope this helps.  I printed this out and this has been so useful, especially when unplugging the C-phone during electrical storms for a period of time and you lose the programming.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL

IF MQ did away with quarterly bonuses, not that they are, only a question she threw out as in IF

First off, let's get something straight:  It doesn't matter HOW I spell words in my posts because you are NOT paying me for my posts, okay?

Now that we've gotten that out of the way, I'm giving you MY experiences - like them or not, and I don't care if you do because you weren't the one who lost $$$ coming out of the word work because of it and had a bunch of sleepless nights.  

I didn't like the experiences I've had with subcontractors I've used - I give and give and give and can't get decent work back.  Those are the cold, hard facts, like them or not.  I didn't like them!  That's why I do it all myself now.  I personally just don't have time to babysit SCs who are supposed to know how to do their jobs but for some strange reason, refuse to do it.  It was the mentality of pure slop - type it up as fast as you can and hope no one reads it!

It's a good thing I'm a nice person because I tell you, some of these SC's got me SO irritated with the slop quality of their work that I should have strangled their little necks with my own bare hands!

If the MTSO is getting, say, 12 cents a line from the client, do you REALLY expect to get paid more than 8 or 9 a line subcontracting?  I mean, after all, isn't the MTSO entitled to make SOME profit, or do you believe the MTSO is in it just for the joy of it all?

I get a little irritated listening to these SCs who expect a line rate equivalent to what an IC/MTSO is getting.  If you want those line rates, then please.....find your OWN accounts, ya know???  In the interim, please get with reality and understand that when you work for someone,you're just NOT going to get pay like you would if you worked for yourself!!!

Audio Advantage by Turtle Beach.  It supposedly bypasses your sound card and the dictation is a little bit clearer. 

I had one account that provided computer and they sent me speakers,but there was such a hum/static with using the speakers that I couldn't use them.   Others with the same company complained about the hum/static too. 

beef tenderloin, mushroom gravy, noodles, salad and some fruit.  Then, a whole pot coffee while I work.

I wanted to have a serious discussion about the value of taking the test compared to the value of the profession at this point and where it's headed in the future.  I do take a lot of pride in my work, but taking the test and maintaining my certification are something that will put a strain on my already strained budget.  I'm wondering what good or if it will do any good at all to spend the money to get a 1 cpl increase and still come up short after a 55% line cut due to VR.

I keep reading posts that say if you're not happy get out, there's other jobs. And posts that say VR is the future for MT, so get used to it.  When hearing all this, it makes me wonder if I'm smart to invest to secure my future or just get out now before I invest all this and be obsolete in 10 years.

Jodi and ta-shi--you both have done an amazing job!  My hat's off to you two!  PLEASE make sure you CHANGE THE LOCKS.  Once he's out of the house for, I think it's 48 hours, he can't legally come back.  So don't let him muscle his way back in!!

Congrats!!

I thought I was the only one who couldn't obtain a high line count and my ego has been crushed .  I have often wondered - am I just stupid?  I am glad someone else has this problem, makes me feel a little more normal.  (Not that I wish this on anyone) 

I have been an MT for 7 years and have never made a high line count (I do maintain a 99% accuracy score).  I believe the main reason is that the majority of MTSO do not give you dedicated accounts so that you have the same doctors over and over and over.  This is the only way to get speed (for me anyway).  I am on 2 accounts.  My primary is an ER account.  I know what the doctors are going to say before they even say it, but rarely do I have enough for a full day's work.  On the occasions when I do have my primary for a full day I can make 1200 lines easily.  But, normally I have to alternate between primary and secondary accounts on most days.  The secondary account has 300-400 doctors.  My primary has maybe 25.  That's just too many doctors. 

Another thing that has ruined dictation is the portable dictation devices that enables doctors to drive and dictate, run here and there while mumbling into them. At my very first job I was connected directly into the hospital system where doctors sat at a dictation station and dictated in a timely, orderly manner.   The voice quality was so clear it was like they were in the same room I was in. 

Then, on top of that, MTSOs  want to not pay for spaces, and instead of paying more for IC status to offset the lack of insurance they want to pay you less!  And it's not only the MTSOs, doctors and hospitals don’t want to pay anymore.  THEY can drive around in luxurious cars, live in fancy houses but they are too cheap to pay an MT.  So the MTs have to struggle to even buy groceries.   Do they realize where they would be if all the MTs just quit?  Well, that's my gripe for the day.

I wish the best to all of you who are struggling with lines counts....I understand cuz I am in the same boat.
