Determining Telephone Line Type
The Superprint Pro80 requires a standard (analog) telephone line with
either pulse or tone (also called touchtone) dialing. Some businesses use
digital telephone systems. To use the TTY in these businesses, some
modifications to the telephone line are required. If you are unsure of the
type of telephone line you are using, contact your telephone installer to
verify that your line supports a standard, single-line telephone. This is the
same kind of line required by many fax machines and computer modems.
Setting Pulse or Tone Dialing
The Superprint Pro80 is preset to use tone dialing because this is used by
most telephone lines. If your line uses pulse dialing, you can change this
setting (see “Dial Using” on page 45).
Connecting a Telephone
The Superprint Pro80 can share a telephone line with a voice telephone.
This allows for both voice and TTY calls on the same line. This feature is
also helpful for using Voice Carry Over (see Chapter 9). To connect a
telephone on the same line as your TTY, simply connect the telephone
cord into the second phone jack on the back of the Superprint Pro80.
Connecting a Signaler
A signaler can be used with the Superprint Pro80 to help alert you to
incoming calls. You can connect a signaler to the second phone jack on the
back of the TTY.
CAUTION:
✔ Do not use the
Superprint Pro80 near
water, for example, near
a bath tub, wash bowl,
kitchen sink, laundry
tub, in a wet basement
or near a swimming
pool.
✔ Always place the
Superprint Pro80 on a
stable phone stand,
table or other secure
surface. Dropping the
Superprint Pro80 can
result in serious damage
to the equipment.
✔ The Superprint Pro80
should be operated only
from the type of power
source indicated on the
label. If you are not
sure of the type of
power supply to your
home, consult your
dealer or local power
company.
✔ Do not allow any-
thing to rest on the
power cord. Do not
position the Superprint
Pro80 where people can
walk on the cord.
✔ Do not overload wall
outlets and extension
cords. This overloading
can result in a fire or
electric shock.
✔ Ultratec recommends
plugging your
Superprint Pro80 into a
surge-protected outlet.
This will protect the
TTY from damage
caused by electrical
surges due to lighten-
ing or other causes.
