Adding Custom Words
(will not be annunciated by the 4285/4286 VIP Module)
You can add up to five installer-defined words to the built-in vocabulary.
Each of the five "words" can actually consist of a "word string" of one or more
words, but no more than a total of
ten
characters
(including spaces)
can be
used for each word or word string.
Custom words must begin with an
alphabetic
character. If a number or symbol is
used as the first character, the word will
not
be saved.

CUSTOM WORD ?
is displayed.
Custom words are found as numbers 250-254 on the Alpha
Vocabulary List.

created (for example, if you are creating the
first
custom word or
word-string, enter 1; for the
second custom word
, enter 2, etc.). A
blinking cursor will now appear at the beginning of the second line.

Press the [#] key, followed by the two-digit entry for the first letter

When you have displayed the desired character, press [6] to select it.
The cursor will then move one position to the right, ready for the next
character.
