Determining Telephone Line Type

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.

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.
