near the right hand side of their Duo players.
2) If a student would like to call another student, they would need to "dial" the desired student's computer number using 
the numbers near the bottom of their players. The number dialed must consist of two numbers. If they're calling computer number 2, they would need to dial 02. If they're calling computer number 13, they would need to dial 13.
3) Once connected, the computer will display a 
icon near the right hand side of their players and will also display who they are connected to on the left side. 
4) If a student calls another student but that student is connected to another student, they will get a busy signal and a 
icon will appear on the left hand side of their player.
5) To disconnect, the stuents will need to press the 
(Clear) button.
