INTRODUCTION:
TeleCodes will provide you with the location or
number of any area code in current use in the
North American telephone system and the name
and code number of dialable countries through-
out the world, and the local time in either an
area or country code.
TeleCodes is controlled from the menu on the
left screen.
The MENU displays the time at your location on
the top panel. The next panel down is used when
you know the number and wish know to where an
Area or Country Code is located. The panel
below this is used when you have the name of
the state or country and need its code. The
bottom panel is used to adjust the computer's
clock or date. It also is used to set the
TeleCodes to your "time zone".
The large screen on the right is where
TeleCodes provides information.
GETTING STARTED:
Be sure your computer TIME, DATE and ZONE are
all correct. If any item needs to be changed
press the letter U to use Utilities. Time and
date adjustment is easily made by following the
prompts. If you change your mind after you
start to correct either a date or time, remove
any typing you have done with the backspace key
and then press ENTER.
To change your time zone press Z (Zone). A menu
will then appear. Move the cursor to the new
time zone and press ENTER. When asked if you
wish to make this your permanent zone, respond
with a Y and the new zone will remain in effect
until you decide to change it again. If you
press N then the change will remain only for
the current session.
If you live in a zone that is not on the menu
use the GMT selection. (There is more data on
GMT later in this document.)
THESE ARE THE ONLY ITEMS YOU MUST ATTEND to
before using TeleCodes.
USAGE: IF YOU KNOW THE NUMBER Press:
A for an Area Code
C for a Country Code.
Type the number and
press ENTER.
TeleCodes will display for:
Area Code-State, Capital, location served,
and the time in the area.
Country Code-the Country name(s) it serves.
IF YOU KNOW THE NAME Press:
S for the State name
N for a Country name
A list of all names will appear on the screen.
Using the Up and Down arrows move the cursor to
the desired name and press ENTER. TeleCodes
will then display if you pressed S, all Area
Codes in the State and information on the
locale they serve. If you pressed N the Country
Code number and the time in the country will be
seen.
If, when selecting, you press the first letter
in the name the cursor will advance to the
first state/country with that initial. Then use
the arrow keys to move to the name.
Pressing the Home and End keys will quickly move
you to the top or end of the list.
