ELECTRONIC VOICE
The Electronic Voice is a single unchangeable voice message that is stored in the memory of your PortaPrinter 2000. The message is used for calling hearing people at VOICE/TDD number. It tells them “Please use TDD for hearing-impiared caller.”
The voice message will repeated until your TDD conversation begins (when your TDD receives signals from another TDD). As soon as the other person begins to type, the electronic voice message stops.

BATTERY POWER INFORMATION
Your Krown Porta Printer is designed to operate from battery or AC (house electricity) power.
The battery is used for backup memory and when power outages. If you unplug the AC adapter from the machine, the Ni-Cad battery will operate for approximately 2 hours when fully charged. The batteries will automatically recharge whenever the unit is plugged into the AC charger/adapter and the TDD is turned OFF. To help the battery last longer, let it run down until the Power Light starts to flash BRIGHT -dim- BRIGHT -dim-. This means that the battery is running down and needs recharging. The light will flash for several minutes. Then the Porta Printer will stop working. When this happens, you must change over to AC power to continue using your machine until you recharge the battery. It is suggested that you use the Porta Printer with battery power in a regular cycle. That is, operate the unit on battery power until it needs recharging. Then recharge the battery by plugging the TDD into the AC charger/adapter for 12-14 hours. (The unit must be turned OFF in order to recharge.)
