Important Tips

1. The IVR will give you the option of responding by voice or through the

telephone keypad. Please follow the prompt to make your choice.

2. The military phonetic alphabet is the standard that will be used as a means to

distinguish similar sounding letters and to increase the accuracy and speed in the

future

3. The IVR will accept either the letter ‘Z’ or the phonetic spelling ‘Zulu,’ but ‘Zulu’

is preferred

4. When giving the date, the IVR will accept both ‘two-twelve-twenty-ten’ and

‘February-twelve-twenty-ten.’ ‘Two-thousand-ten’ can also be used. It will not

accept ‘zero-two-twelve-twenty-ten.’

5. You can interrupt any prompt with ‘Repeat,’ ‘Main Menu,’ ‘Survey’ or

‘Good Bye’
