About Auto ID
™
The Auto ID™ feature alerts a hearing person that you are
calling from a TTY. It alerts the person by sending several
audible tones over the telephone line every few seconds.
Auto ID helps emergency service centers such as 911
automatically detect that you are calling by TTY.
Auto ID comes on when you turn on your Miniprint 425 and
continues until you start a conversation. If you are on-line,
you will see SENDING AUTO ID every time the Miniprint 425
sends out tones.Auto ID will also begin sending tones when-
ever no one types for a few minutes during a conversation. It
will continue until someone starts typing.
You can turn off Auto ID in the options menu. See Turning
off Auto ID
on page 27.
Note: When you turn off Auto ID, it stays off and will not
send tones until you turn it on again.This means that an
emergency service center such as 911 cannot use Auto ID
tones to detect your TTY call.

printed at the end of a conversation unless you press the
