Technology Seminars
Starting in March 2017, the New Jersey Association of Blind Technology Users 
(NJABTU) proudly sponsors quarterly conference calls on a variety of topics 
with moderators presiding over each call. We hope these calls provide 
information and thoughtful discussions in your local chapter meetings 
throughout the year.

To attend the calls, dial 515-604-9570, then use access code 612068 pound. 
You will hear the code you entered repeated. Press 1 if it is correct. Press 
2 to re-enter it. If you press 1, you then announce yourself by stating your 
name and you will then be entered into the conference call.

In order to obtain the best possible sound for these calls, the host will 
put all callers into mute mode until the Q and A portion of the call. You 
will be able to hear everything during the call but background noise from 
your location will not disturb others listening in on the conversation. 
During the Q and A portion of the call, you can unmute yourself by pressing 
star 6. Before giving a comment or asking a question, please announce your 
name and what state you are from, and then wait for the moderator to 
recognize you before speaking. We can have too many people trying to seek 
the floor at one time and chaos can occur. The moderators will do their very 
best to recognize as many callers as possible however, they will determine 
the order in which speakers proceed. When finished with your comments or 
questions, press star 6 again to go back into “mute” mode to facilitate 
better, uncluttered communication for everyone. Star 6 also works when you 
have your phone on speaker.

The times for the calls are

·         8:00pm Eastern

·         7:00pm Central

·         6:00pm Mountain

·         5:00pm Pacific

Please determine for yourself the time to enter the call if you live in a 
time zone other than those listed above.

Because our conference calls contain information that’s helpful and 
interesting to blind techies, we archive all of them within hours of their 
completion. You can listen to our most recent archives by calling 
515-604-9651, and entering the access code 612068 pound followed by the call 
reference code. While listening, 4 will rewind one minute, 6 will forward 
one minute, and 5 will pause the recording which is a toggle. We hope you 
enjoy and learn from them.
