CHAPTER 8
GLOSSARY OF MENU
MODE SETTINGS
To learn how to operate the functions described in this section, see “Changing Menu Mode Settings,” page 9.
Tone/Pulse Dialing - This allows you to select the way the Q90 dials telephone numbers. Almost all telephone companies use tone dialing.
Ringer - The Q90 can produce an audible ringing tone if it is connected to an optional HCO speaker.
Flasher - The Q90 has two lights that flash to announce an incoming call. The brightest light, on the left, does not operate when the Q90 is powered
by batteries.
International - In the United States text messages are sent at a speed described as “45 Baud.” Some other countries use “50 Baud.” The Q90 can be set to operate at this “International” speed. The Q90 will automatically receive either speed. However, if you are sending to someone in another country and they have problems receiving your messages, you may want to try changing the transmission speed of the Q90.
Form Feed - The Q90 can be set to tell a printer when to move to the next page when connected to an optional printer.
Repeat Key - When this function is on, if you hold down a key, the Q90 will repeat that key until you release it.
Mixed Case - When this is on, your messages are in lower case and the messages you receive are in upper case, making it easier to follow the conversation. When it is off, all messages are in capital letters.
Auto ID - When this is on, the Q90 automatically sends Baudot tones every five seconds if your call is answered with a voice telephone. These notify hearing people and public dispatch facilities (such as 911) that you are calling with a TTY. The Signal light blinks when the Baudot tones are sent. The tones automatically stop when either party starts to type.
