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.
