Hearing Carry Over Users:
HCO allows a speech impaired user with hearing capability to listen to the person he or she is calling. The HCO user types his or her conversation for the Communcation Assistant (CA) to read to the standard telephone user.
How to make a HCO call:
Dial 711 using your TTY. OTRS will answer by typing "8234" (for CA identification), the letter "F" or "M" (for CA gender), and "NUMBER CALLING PLS GA." Type in the area code and telephone number you wish to call, and then type "HCO PLEASE GA."
The CA will make the connection and voice your typed conversation to the party you are calling. After you type "GA", use your choice of telephone handset, headset or external speakers to listen to the spoken reply.
Receiving a HCO Call:
Type your greeting on your TTY, followed by "PLEASE USE HCO GA." CA will type "OTRS Relay (CA Number) with a call HCO is on." Use your choice of telephone handset, headset or external speakers to listen. You will have the CA say: "The HCO user my being typing now." Type your message.
Continue to type and listen.
Please Note: Optional speakers or headset sold separately to place Hearing Carry Over (HCO) calls.
