C5. Aircraft Credit Card Number Option
The air traveler has the option to store and use one credit card number
for the entire flight and does not require the re-entry of the card
number for each call. The system must first be configured for credit
mode (see Section VI, B3). The software default value is direct billing
mode.
With Direct Billing disabled for the aircraft, this feature allows a user
to swipe a card which causes all calls made from any location on the
aircraft (except the handset(s) configured as a Cockpit Station) to be
billed to this credit card account. Calls made from Cockpit Station(s)
will be billed to the aircraft account.
The user activates this feature by taking the handset off-hook and
pressing “9” (Setup) - “8” (Credit) - “1” (Enter Aircraft Credit Card
Number), and then sliding the credit card through the handset card
reader slot. Your call will be routed to an Airfone Operator.
The user can manually clear the stored credit card number by taking
the handset off-hook and pressing “9” (Setup) - “8” (Credit) - “2”
(Clear Aircraft Credit Card Number). The credit card number is
also erased once power is removed from the ARTU for more than
30 seconds. To enable this feature follow these directions.
NOTE 1: All direct dialed calls made on the “Cockpit” Station handset(s) will
be billed to the aircraft account number regardless of the system call
billing mode.
NOTE 2: The C-2000 system accepts all major credit cards.
NOTE 3: The Aircraft Credit Card Number Options bills all calls (except those
calls from handsets configures as “Cockpit”) to the entered credit card.
C6. Placing a Call On Hold
A call may be placed on hold at any time by pressing “+” (Put Call
on Hold). The party on hold will hear silence. To return to the call,
press “#” (Go Back).
