C phone programming instructions

C-PHONE PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS

Note: The C phone mapping system may be different for each facility. Ask the supervisor/owner for the programming keys needed for each function. Sometimes you may find them on the face of the phone, under the plastic cover. There are 16 buttons available to program (1-8 down the left side and 9-16 down the right side)

You will use the function keys under the display window and the Select button (X) next to the number key pad.

On the C phone screen, there are 3 buttons below the display window. The messages in the columns above the 3 buttons are:

Time Date
Progm Msg Directory


Select the Progm button and the follow screen appears:

Progrm

Keys ID/Time Tel


Note: Put some thought into the Keys that are convenient or work quickly. For example, button 9 (top right side) may be the button to dial into the system; button 10 may be the ID number you key in to access work, etc.

To program the keypad, press PROGM—KEYS

The screen asks you to select a program key. Chose one of the 16 buttons.

The screen will ask you if you want to Revise the information there, press one of the 3 buttons in the message screen. We will select YES. Then enter your ID number or dial-in number etc followed by the #.

We now need to SELECT this choice as the final step for programming this button. The SELECT is on the right side of the phone number pad, the “X” key. Each time you program a key, the last step will be to press the SELECT key to end that function.

If you make a mistake during the programming process, just press the STOP key on the C phone pad and start over.

For each subsequent function you want to program, follow the instructions again from
PROGM- KEYS

Programming C-phone

Hi everyone,


I purchased a Dictaphone C-phone off of EBay; however, it did not come with a manual. I am totally lost. Are they all the same when it comes to signing a job off, leaving a job open, fasting forwarding a job, etc.? Is this something you have to program into the phone? If so, can someone tell me how to program my phone for these different requests?


Programming C phone

The service you work for should be able to tell you the keys to push to sign off a job, etc. However, here is a link to the Dictaphone answer desk for more detailed instructions.

HELP ASAP; C-phone programming
I am supposed to take a test using C-phone using following keys: play 4; pause 2; rewind 7 and fast-forward 4.
Anyone know how I can get the dictator to slow down? It would surely help me. TIA!!
If you are talking about programming a c-phone
someone posted the directions a while back.  I have the directions, I cannot find them at the momment but if you will look and the 3 gray buttons below the screen push the one that says progm.  I believe from there it is self explanatory.  HTH a little. 
c-phone headset programming

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

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!

Programming a dictaphone
I have a dictaphone, model 0421, which my company would like me to program to work with their Lanier system.  I have no idea on how to do this.  I tried e-mailing dictaphone and could not understand the instructions at all.  I am able to dial into their system however, my foot pedal works backwards.  This would not be a major problem, but my fastforward and rewind do not work at all which is a real problem.  Any ideas?
good HBO programming may not be...sm

Does anyone know how to program headset into the dictaphone to work?


 


Thanks so much.


Lanier programming help sm
When I dial into the hospital on my Lanier LX-219, I get the doctor's dictating system, which has a 4 digit code, instead of transcription.  The unit is set to slave mode.  Is there anything else I can do to fix this?  I haven't used it for awhile, but did use it before for transcription.  Any help appreciated! Thanks! 
HEADSET PROGRAMMING

Hit the program key at the top then keys, then pick the key you want then the code is #*11 then hit the select key and then stop key....good luck, I had this problem as well and do every now and then when I unplug my equipment.


Lanier has propietary programming...sm

Need Help!! programming DVI for Dictaphone System
Can anyone tell me how to program a DVI transcriber for Dictaphone System. The documentation I have for my DVI says it is compatible with Dictaphone but when I try signing onto a Dictaphone system, nothing works - keys or foot pedal. Any suggestions?
Lanier Voicewriter programming
I've searched through the archives and found some good programming info on the Lanier voicewriter. However, I couldn't find what I need. My loving 17 MO son hit some keys and now I can't see the lower screen. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks
Anybody working tonight who knows Lanier programming?

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

LX 219 instructions

How To Set Up & Use The LX-219 IMPORTANT—PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!!!! • IF THE FOOT PEDAL IS NOT ALREADY CONNECTED---Remove the Front Cover of the terminal block that has the cables attached, and Plug the Foot Pedal into the black connector. • Plug the cable marked “Trans Station” into the jack on back of the LX-219 labeled, “To Recorder” • Plug the cable marked “Power Supply” into the jack on the Power Supply. (some power supplies have two jacks, use the left one and ignore the other) • Plug the cable marked “UDLT” into the jack on the back of the LX-547 VTI, marked UDLT. • Plug the Telephone line cord into the jack on back of LX-547 VTI marked “TELCO”. Plug the other end of this cable into your telephone jack. • Plug Power Supply into wall outlet. • The VTI will now undergo a self test; all of the lights will come on momentarily and begin blinking. After a few seconds all lights will go out EXCEPT the TA and VD lights. These will remain on. (the letters identifying these lights are read from top to bottom, not left to right) You are now ready to Program your Station to call into the Lanier system and begin transcribing. Go to the Programming Instructions, and with the help of your Supervisor or Client, program the Codes and Telephone numbers that they want you to use, into the LX-219. AFTER programming is complete, use the following instructions to begin using the Transcriber. Copyright 2003 by: Ranzy Luster Plug Headset into jack on back of LX-219 labeled “Headset” • Put Headset on. • Press the ON/OFF key. You will hear a dial tone. • Press the Key that you have programmed your Telephone access number into • After the system answers and “Digital Connect” appears, the screen will display; “Enter Trans ID” • Press the key that you have programmed your ID number into. • The display will show “ENT - request Job” • Press the ENTER key. The small screen will display; “Searching for job”.

A Loud tone will be heard when you reach this point! • As you are transcribing and reach the end of a job, you will hear a steady TONE. At this point, remove your foot from the Listen Pedal and press the Finishing Touch Button. This will Complete that job and bring up the Next available Job. (the Finishing Touch Button is the one which you have programmed with the Code 1370) • When finished transcribing for the day, Press the button you have programmed with the Code 1371. This code completes the job and prevents others from coming to your station. • In Addition to the two codes listed above, the Telephone number of the system you are calling into should be programmed into a Key and your ID number should be in one. ALL OTHER FUNCTIONS YOUR EMPLOYER/CLIENT WANTS YOU TO USE WILL BE EXPLAINED BY THEM!

Instructions -sm

This is for WORD 2003. Just follow the steps EXACTLY as outlined. 


1.  Open a plain word document and type your ??.  (A couple of sets with one set per line).


2.  Go to Tools>Macro>Record New Macro


3.  Name your Macro (type it in the box)  Mine is named "jump". (Make sure in the second box, it says NORMAL template or normal.dot.)


4.  Click the Keyboard button - choose the keyboad combination you want to use (I use ALT+J) Click Assign.


5.  You should see a little button floating around that looks like a tape somewhere on your screen.  Don't touch it yet.  Instead, Go to Edit>Find and type in ??.


6.  Hit find next (you should be seeing your ?? being highlighted while you are doing this.) Click the cancel button on that same window. 


7.  Go to Tools>Macro>stop recording. 


Type in a few ?? sets and hit your shortcut combination to make sure it works. 


If you have trouble with this, feel free to e-mail.  I make these all the time.  :)


 


Instructions
If you set a tap stop where you want the DOB on the same line you should be okay.  In sounds like there are spaces there instead.  Set your tab point by clicking on the ruler at the top.    Retype your patient title then tab and put the DOB title.  If this does not work, feel free to email.  I am workin all day.  :)
there are instructions
in the system on how to do this.
I'm sure most of you get instructions like this

from your employers:


The BOS is to be followed, except when it differs from this company's style guide and except when also not in conflict with the site specific information of the client. 


So, you check the site notes from the hospital and if the question is not answered there, you check your company's style guide, and then if there is still no answer you do what the BOS says to do. 


Does this make any sense?  Making us consult three different references for the answer to one simple question?  Do the MTs in Indiastan have to do this?  Or do they get a pass because they work so cheap? 


I think you can dial into most systems that require C-phone without having a C-phone nm
.
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.
nm
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
NSS: Here's the macro instructions

In a Word document, type a few words, like a diagnosis on a line.  Leave your cursor at the end of the line.


Click TOOLS, MACRO, RECORD NEW


A window called Record Macro pops up.  I suggest you put a name in the "Macro Name" field.  (Hint:  No spaces allowed in the name.)


Click KEYBOARD to assign it to the keyboard.


A window called "Customize Keyboard" pops up.  In the field "press new shortcut key", press what you want as the shortcut.  (Hint:  I use ALT+N so I can remember it for numbering.)  That key combination you type should populate that field.


Click ASSIGN, CLOSE


You will be back at your document (your cursor still at the end of the line of text you typed) and there will be a small window called "Stop" that has a solid square (the STOP RECORDING button) and another symbol (PAUSE RECORDING button).  At this point, every single thing you do is being recorded!


Press the HOME key (to put cursor at the beginning of the line).


Press the 1. keys and space twice (or however many times you space between your number/period for your account).


Press the END key (to return cursor to end of the line of text).


Press the RETURN key.


Press the 2. keys and space twice (or, again, however many spaces you put between your number/period for your account).


Click the STOP RECORDING button in the little window.


Your macro is complete.  I suggest you try it out.  Skip down a few lines and type a line of text.  At the end of that text, hit your macro shortcut.  It should run (you won't see it do anything but make the changes you recorded) and automatically go to the beginning of the line, number it as 1 with a period and spaces, and return at the end of your text and start the number 2, period, spaces and be ready for more text!!  Email me if you have problems. 


NOTE:  This will only work if the text you type is only 1 line long.  If it word-wraps to a second line, this will not work...you will just have to manually return to the beginning of the line and number. 


More ideas for building macros, at least the ones I use most: 


-- macro to increase the zoom to a certain percentage (I use 110%)


-- macro to scroll down 1 frame or page


-- macro to copy the preoperative diagnosis heading, the 1-line text below it, return a line blank and type postoperative diagnosis heading and paste (for when the dictation is for "postoperative diagnosis same").  I use ALT+; for postoperative diagnosis and ALT+' for postop diagnosis


-- macro to copy the physician names/credentials in the signature block and search for the header for SURGEON and fill it in, putting it in all capitals, etc.


Just a handful of ideas I use.  Hope these help.


I think you can d/l instructions from their web site. NM
.
Instructions inside (sm)
You have to right arrow on HISTORY when you are completely finished your report (it's in the demographic screen).  This will sign this report to you, it adds your initials and that way no one can go in and get credit for it.  Hope this helps.
Can't you post the instructions here instead

And if you read the instructions (sm)
it will tell you that you cannot use that to file with.
Doc asking for instructions on dictation
A wounderful young man at my church is in his 2nd year of general surgery residency. When he found out what I did for a living, he asked me if I would please help him with his dictation and give him some pointers so that he could do better on his dictation. No one had critiqued him and he wanted to be sure it was o.k. Now THAT'S a good guy. He's a good Christian, he'll be a good doctor, and I know he won't ever change. You cynical so and so's just keep your opinion to yourselves. This was so refreshing to be asked for help like this. It made my day.

Part # and instructions.
This site, option #3 will give instructions, part # you need. (From Radioshack)

http://www.nch.com.au/scribe/pedals.html
I have a nice set of instructions in PDF...
that includes diagrams! The plug in for phone is rear left on the bottom. If you would like me to send you the PDF file of C-phone instructions I would be glad to, just e-mail me.
Some detailed instructions for you. sm

I believe I understand what you're trying to do. Try following these steps.


Open a new blank document and set the margins as you've been instructed (File, Page Setup, Margins). Next, click on the tab for Layout. Make sure Section starts has New Page in the box. In the next section, Headers and Footers, make sure none of the boxes are checked. Change the measurement from edge for the Header to 1". In the Page Section for vertical layout choose Center. In Preview Section make sure that Whole Document is selected. Click OK.


Now, Go to View, Headers/Footers. Type the information that you want into the Header area. Don't worry that it looks like the Header area is larger than it should be; it will shrink as your letter grows. Save this as a document template (.dot)


Now, whenever you use this template, just type your first letter, use Ctrl+Enter to go to the next letter/page. The Header information will show at the top of each page and each letter will be centered on the page for you.


Read the instructions doc that was sent to you.
It gives detailed instructions of what to do. Sounds like you only read the first half of it if you actually got the test files.
