HELP ASAP; C-phone programming

Posted By: Kathy Stryk on 2006-06-19
In Reply to:

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!!

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.


http://support.dictaphone.com/scripts/rightnow.cfg/doc/sales/opmanual/Connexions/0420qr.pdf


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

Programming C phone in general
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

Need MQ MTS shell help ASAP!!

My dictionary is doing something strange.  Before, when I had a misspelled word it would bring up a yellow box with other words (listed a, b, c and so on) and I could choose the correct word.  It suddenly stopped doing that one day!  Now I have to either figure out how to really spell it (I'm a horrible speller) or look it up rather than have the program drag up similar words.


Any ideas how I fix this?  It's really bothering me and slowing me way, way down.  I even re-formatted the dictionary.


THANK YOU!!!


Need recipe ASAP!! (sm)
Ok, someone please help me find a recipe for this stuff .. my mother wants it bad and is driving me nuts over it.  Cannot believe a web search has not helped..I may not have the correct name it's called.  She is wanting to make some of those "cheese rings" this weekend.  They look like a cookie, but not sweet.  Usually made with a cookie press I believe.  Just a strong cheddar cheese taste..made like the regular spritz cookies I think.  My great grandmother was the only one we ever knew that made them back in Carolina..can't seem to find anyone here in the central US that knows what it is LOL  Thanks!

Need Advice ASAP
I was offered 60 minutes of transcription for $40.00.  I am new and I do not know if that is good or not.  Looking through the samples it seems he says the same thing over and over again so you can macro the physical examinations.  Please give me advice.  Right now I am in school, pregnant, and work full time.  My goal is to stay home but it seems he should pay $60.00 for 60 minutes.  Please give some advice I am a new Transcriptionist and I do not want to be used.
HELP (sorry for shouting) but I need help ASAP sm

here's the instructions I have been given with name of company, etc. deleted


Accessing test dictation:  Using your internet browser , open our site: (name has been changed to yadayadayada for privacy purposes)   


ftp://yadayadayada.com/medical/  


This does NOT work as a link; you must type in the address yourself in your browser or copy and paste the address into your browser.    


You will either be prompted to log in  


User name:  yadayadayada Password:    yadayadayada 


You will see many folders.  Double click on the testing folder.


 please download "testnotes.zip"   


To download, simply double-click on the file in question and it will take it over to your hard drive.`  You will first need to "unzip" these files using Winzip. 


 


Okay, I've done all of the above but now how do I get it to play like these instructions in bold say I can.


 


Once unzipped, these files can be played with any .wav file player.  Your computer's sound card will have software which will allow you to play the file.


in hospitals it seems always ASAP - SM
I work rad (employee) in a hospital, and they are always ALWAYS working to improve TAT. From the time the exam is done to complete dictation, they want 3-4 hours. That means if your doc delays the dictation, they want transcription NOW because the doc took so long.

However, in the situation you describe, checking back in 1-2 hours should not matter that much. You should just let them know the deal - they probably know how that radiologist is as much (or better) than you. Maybe they/he could call or email when he is done?

My hospital has a contract with a sister hospital to do their radiology - they have radiologists that do this exact same thing. We told them when our staffing is available. If they do not dictate during that time, then their reports are delayed -- no question. they have to deal with it.

Doing it yourself, your situation is different, of course, but hopefully they would work with you to let you know when the work is available so that you don't have to be "on call" for them.

As far as line rates, I can't say an average. I have another rad account that I do at $.15/line, but this is 3 days a week for a mobile service (TAT is 1-3 DAYS here...) I would charge more if they needed it "now", especially if they wouldn't work with me as to when "now" might be!

Long answer - hope it helps.
Feel free to email with any more questions if you want.
Pls contact me ASAP!
Please send me a personal pm with your contact details, basic information re: client, location, etc. Pending receipt of your mail, I will establish contact with you details.

HELP-ASAP Tract or track (sm)

Haven't been doing surgery for a while and cannot remember the rule for tract/track.  Couldn't find it in the AAMT BOS either.  Thanks!!


EX:  I probed this area with a Q-tip and found that she, indeed, has a sinus tract/track leading to a cavity below the healed skin.


Call a lawyer ASAP!!
You can get advice from an attorney free for the first consultation--just make sure attorney specializes in land purchases and sales so you're given good info. You also need to go to your court house or whereever your land deed is recorded and find out what is required by the court for a legal sale of that land, get copies of everything pertaining to it, check on the taxes to make sure they are all paid or not. Lawyers do take payment plans. Don't wait on this one--if you don't want to be homeless. When it comes to greed and some families, they could treat you worse than strangers. You don't pay your house payment to them, do you? What could happen is if this is a majority party contract--meaning only a certain number of owners are required for the sale to go through--that would be on your note, they could then charge you land rent--an exorbitant amount--to make you move, so see a lawyer ASAP and take all documentation with you. Everything.

Good Luck. I am really sorry this is happening to you.

Help with Instant Text ASAP

My Instant Text "unloaded" itself while I was working last night.  I immediately tried to call support and e-mailed them, am still waiting to get ahold of them and the clock is ticking.  I turned my computer off and on and it stil does the same thing.  When I try to load the program, a box pops up saying it is loading glossaries and then the box disappears and Instant Text is not loaded.  Should I uninstall and reinstall it?  I have made copies of my glossaries to a floppy.  Any ideas would be appreciated.  I can't get into the program at all to see if I accidentally set something wrong.


 


I have a quick question - need help ASAP. sm
The company that I work for uses the iType program.  I was wondering if anyone has had this problem and if so how it was taken care of.  On some of the docs that I get to transcribe there is lots of static/cutting out (almost sounds as if there is a power shortage - that type of sound) in the dictation.  It is mostly when the docs speak close to the recording device or if they speak loudly.  I have tried different sound cards, adjusted speaker volume, tried different speakers and I still have this problem.  Any help would be appreciated. 
Even if it is a 2-week break? Need to know ASAP
My husband is switching jobs. Insurance was supposed to be covered through the month and now found it is until the 15th. I have MULTIPLE medical conditions, ones that the insurance we are changing to knows about because I cost them millions in the last few years. Please let me know. Our COBRA payment for 2-week coverage is $1,040 just for me. We are more than financially stapped right now.
Thanks, but I just bought one since I needed it ASAP.
Thanks anyhow ;-)

HELP - Advice needed for my friend ASAP - sm

My friend and her boyfriend of 5 years recently obtained custody of the boyfriend's now 7-year old daughter.   You talk about a handful of trouble, that's exactly what has been packaged into this mini sized monster child.


Bear with me because this will be quite lengthy.  I  will call the girl by her nickname, Tater.


Tater was 5 when my friend (S) and her boyfriend (D) started with the custody proceedings.  Every time Tater would come for visitations, she was full of these wild stories that were quite alarming to S and D.  She would come and tell them how her mom walks around the house naked all the time with all of these different boyfriends, how one of those boyfriends held a pillow over her (Tater) face one time, and how Tater and her baby brother were often left alone for hours at a time and sometimes overnight while her mom was out "getting drunk" with her boyfriends.


Naturally, S and D were really upset by these stories and so they got an attorney and really pushed for custody.  They got custody in March 2005 and their life has been a living hell since she has come to live with them. 


Less than a day or so after she moved in, she started telling them how one of her mom's boyfriends "did things to her" so S and D were once again in an emotional fit because they thought someone had molested Tater.   They called a psychologist and the police.  Had her evaluated, everything.  Even had Tater talk to a detective that works child abuse cases.  His findings and the psychologist's findings were the same.  She had not been abused and, in fact, had a severe problem with delineating fact from fantasy. 


Tater now sees the psychologist once per week.  The goal of the treatment was originally to get Tater to understand the difference between telling stories and the truth, along with dealing with the fact that her mother now has absolutely no contact with her.  It's been rough for S and D as well as Tater. 


Things went well for a short time, then school started 3 weeks ago.  Since starting school, S and D have been called to the school numerous times because Tater has either said that she couldn't do her homework because her daddy was "all drunk", that when S dropped her off at school she was "drinking wine from a bottle in the car" (it was green tea in a glass bottle,) and that they don't allow her to talk to her mother, which is not true. Her mother has supervised visitation but chooses to opt out. 


She has told her aunt and uncle that S killed her cat on purpose when it was actually her aunt who accidentally ran over the cat but Tater didn't know that.  She told one of the neighbors that her mommy had her (Tater) picture taken once and was in a naughty magazine because her mom got money for it and Tater would get it when she was old enough.  OMG yet?  Yeah!  This kid is something else.


She also made a little boy cry in class by rudely saying how he was so stupid and slow during outloud reading time.


S and D have tried all of the things the psychologist have recommended, taking her toys, taking her TV, radio, making her write apologies and hand deliver them, and sit directly behind the bus driver (for even more trouble on the bus.)


She also missed the bus home purposely last week because she was going to go to a friend's house.  Her grandmother had to come all the way into town (they live about 10 miles out) to get her.   When D and S questioned her about what she was doing, she screamed at them that it was "HER LIFE" and she could do what she wanted if she felt like it.  Remember folks, this kid turned 7 last month!


Now, a few minutes ago, S called me in tears.  She got another call from the school because Tater had told some of the boys that another boy was threatening her and making her scared (which was a lie) so she wanted them to do something about it.  These 3 little boys proceeded to gang up on the other boy and he was hurt.  Not seriously but that he was hurt is bad enough.  These 3 boys and Tater are now suspended.  These are first graders and this is a very small town.


S and D are ready to snap.  I don't know what else to tell her.  The psychologist told S and D that she was afraid that Tater had multiple personality disorder but couldn't make that diagnosis on a definitive basis because, as of yet, there are no clear cut documented cases in children of this age.  They usually don't start developing these tendencies until they are in their mid to late teens. 


I have looked online for any kind of research or specialists that can deal with this but it's very difficult to find information even on pre-adolescents that are out of control. 


I am asking for your help.  If anyone knows of a professional or group that can help S and D with Tater, PLEASE post here ASAP.  At this point, I'm very concerned about THEIR well being. This kid is a serious danger.  There is much more but I think I have told you enough already.   We are in Washington State too, just in case anyone has any ideas where to go for help.


Thank you so very much if any of you can help.

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.
