Preface
This document provides the user with the information
necessary to understand the operation of, and user support for,
the 610 Business Communications Terminal (BCT).
A
step-by-step installation procedure is part of this
guide, as is terminal maintenance and an abbreviated testing and
trouble isolation procedure.
Initially, the operator is not expected to have a working
knowledge of this terminal or the system in which it is going to
operate. The host processor operation is not covered in this
guide. It is suggested that each operator have an outline of
the system operation and a copy of this User's Guide, as
references while using the terminal.
