00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:25,000
Hello everyone.

3
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,600
I'm from your telephone company.

4
00:00:30,442 --> 00:00:30,600
We know that dial telephones are easy to use.

5
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,600
However, mistakes in dialing do occur.

6
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:39,600
These mistakes waste a lot of time and can cause someone else to be inconvenienced and probably irritated.

7
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:44,600
I'd like to tell you about a few pointers to be followed in dialing.

8
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,600
Always be sure that you have the right number.

9
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:53,600
Consult your directory for any number you're not sure of.

10
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:58,600
Write the number down.

11
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,600
It saves time to keep the numbers in front of you while dialing.

12
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,600
Now, let's use this demonstration model to dial our number.

13
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,600
Always listen for the dial tone.

14
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,600
Now, let's dial the number we looked up and made a note of.

15
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,600
WOrth 49970.

16
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:32,600
Now, be sure to dial the first two letters of the central office name, then the five numbers.

17
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:39,600
For example, for WOrth 49970, dial…

18
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:47,600
When dialing, notice that I brought my finger around until it firmly touched the finger stop.

19
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:52,600
And now, I remove my finger.

20
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,600
And let the dial go back by itself.

21
00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:05,600
Failure to bring your finger firmly to the finger stop with each pull of the dial may cause you to reach a wrong number.

22
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:13,600
The same can happen if you force the dial back instead of letting it go back by itself.

23
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:21,600
An important point to remember when dialing is that wherever you have the letter O or the numeral O,

24
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:32,600
as in our example number WOrth 49970, you will find the letter O next to N on the left side of the dial.

25
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:38,600
The numeral O is always in the same space with the word "Operator".

26
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:44,600
Soon after you dial the number you want, you will hear the ringing signal.

27
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:51,600
Let the telephone ring for at least a minute or about 10 rings to give the person you're calling time to answer.

28
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:57,600
If the number dial is busy, you will hear the familiar busy signal.

29
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,600
When you hear this signal, hang up.

30
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,600
Try again a little later!

31
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:11,600
Those of you with the party line may lift your telephone to listen for the dial tone

32
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,600
and hear a conversation or the ringing signal.

33
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:22,600
This means that another party on your line is using the telephone. When this occurs, hang up,

34
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,600
and wait a reasonable length of time before you try again.

35
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,600
Now, let's review these dialing pointers again.

36
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:36,600
Make sure you have the correct number. If not, consult your directory.

37
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,600
Write the number down.

38
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:43,600
Refer to the complete number while dialing.

39
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,600
Make a note of the numbers you frequently call.

40
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:54,600
For this purpose, you can get a free personal numbers booklet from your telephone company business office.

41
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:05,600
Remember, before dialing, listen for dial tone.

42
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:11,600
If you dial before you hear dial tone, you may get a wrong number or no number at all.

43
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:19,600
Then dial the first two letters of the central office name and the five numerals which make up the complete number.

44
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:27,600
W, O, 4.

45
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,600
9.

46
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,600
9.

47
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,600
7.

48
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,600
0.

49
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:52,600
Remember, make sure your finger firmly touches the finger stop with each pull of the dial.

50
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:58,600
If at any time you wish to review dial procedure, you will find instructions in the front of your directory.

51
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:05,600
Follow these suggestions and you will save time and be pleased with the use and convenience of your dial telephone.

52
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:20,600
