Your Superp rint complies w i th the re gulations for a Clas s B computing d e vic e as spe cified in S ubpart

J o f Part 1 5 of FCC Rules. These rules are designed to minimize rad i o frequency interference in residential installations. However , there is no guarantee ihat radio frequency interference will not occur in any particular installation.

2 I n s tall and use your Supe rprint in strict accordance with t h e instructions in th is manu a l.

3 Yo u c an d etermine if your Sup erprint is causin g interfer e nce to radio o r television reception b y turning your S upe r print on and off. Try to correct the interference :

• Reorient the radio or television receiving antenna.

• Move your Superprint away from the receiving antenna .

• Move your Superprint aw a y from the radio or television .

• Plug your Superprint into another outlet so that it is on a different branch circuit fiOm the radio or television .

• If necessary consult an e x perienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions.

Super rint 400 Connects Directly to the Te lepho ne Line

The S uper p rint 400 with direct connect complies with FCC Rules, Part 68. These rules specify the regulations for devices that connect directly into the nationwide telephone network. You must, if requested , give the following information to your telephone company.

• Your telephone number

• Product name: Superprint 400

• FCC registration number : D8K7IB-1S278-DT-R

• Ringer equivalence number (REN ) : O .

SA

• Jack : USOC -RJ 11 C

2 The direct connect feature on your Superprint may not be compatible with some privately owned office telephone systems. Consult your telephone equipment supplier if you have any questions. Directly connecting your Superprint to anything other than standard telephone lines will void the warranty. Such use may cause damage to the telephone network or to your Superprint.

3 Use the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) to determine how many devices (telephones, direct connect TDDs and signaling devices) you can plug into your telephone line. In mo s t , but not all cases , the sum of the RENs of all devices that you plug into your phone line should not e x ceed 5.0

. Contact your local telephone company to determine the maximum REN in your calling area. If you plug too many devices into your phone line, some of them may fail to ring wh e n someone calls you .

4 Use a telephone company registered jack (type USOC #RJ11 C) to connect your Superprint to the nationwide telephone network. This jack is a modular outlet that you can order from your local telephone company or telephone supply store .

5 Do not plug your Superprint directly into a pay telephone line. Use the acoustic coupler.

Connection to party lines is subject to state tariffs.

Know the Rights of Your Telephone Company.

If your Superprint causes harm to the telphone network, the telephone company may temporarily discontinue your service. If possible, the y' ll notify you in advance. But if advanced notice is not practical, you will be notified as s oon as possible. You will be given the opportunity to correct the situation, and you will be informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.

2 Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that could affect th e proper functioning of your Superprint. If changes occur , you will be notified in advance to give you an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted service.

In 1963, Dr. Robert H. Weitbrecht, a physicist with a profound hearing loss, made an exciting and important breakthrough for deaf people. He developed an acoustic coupler that could accurately transmit and receive

TTY (Teletypewriter) signals over telephone lines. For the first time, by using the Weitbrecht coupler with a TTY, a deaf individual could communicate by telephone.

Now, in this age of microcomputer technology it is possible to build portable and versatile telecommunications devices such as your

Superprint. However, the Weitbrecht modem was the technological innovation that marked the beginning of telecommunications for the deaf. Ultratec, Inc. wishes to acknowledge this fact, and the significance and importance of Dr. Weitbrecht's contribution to the welfare of deaf and hearing impaired people the world over.

Introduction

About the Superprint Family

All Superprint TOOs come in the same attractive , compact , portable

TOO case. At home or at work use your Superprint with the AC charger/adapter. For easy travel, the AC charger/adapter stores neatly inside your Superprint case, and the snap-on cover encloses the entire unit. The built-in acoustic coupler and rechargeable batteries let you make calls wherever there is a telephone. You can even place calls to other countries because all Superprints include International TOO Code .

And all Superprint TOOs include a 2048-character non-volatile memory. Non-volatile means that everything in the memory is saved , even when you turn your Superprint off. Use the memory to type a message before you place a call , and to save TOO conversations to read again later.

TOO Etiquette

During a conversation, only one TOO at a time can send signals over a telephone line . You and the person you talk to need to take turns typing .

The abbreviations GA,

Q and SK are important signs to follow in a TOO conversation.

"GA"

means

GO

AHEAD.

Type "GA" when you want the other person to start typing. When you read GA, it is your turn to type.

"Q"

is the

same as a

QUESTION MARK

(I).

When you ask a question, you can type

Q instead of a question mark.

"SK"

means

STOP KEYING.

Type SK when you want to end you r conversation. When you read

SK type SKSK if you are finished talking. When both you and the person you are talkingto have typed SK, you r conversation is finished and you can turn your Superprint off .

"GA

OR

SK" is

a

short way

to say, "Do you have anything

else to say? I'm done. "

When you read GA or SK you can type another message, or finish with SKSK .

When the AC charger/adapter is unplugged , your Superprint automatically uses the built-in batteries for power.

2. Turn your Superprint on. It works the same

on

battery power

as it does

when it is plugged into the wall.

You can use your Superprint on battery power to make telephone calls wherever electrical outlets are not available.

Your batteries will work whether you are using direct connect or the acoustic cups . When the batteries are fu lIy charged , you r

Superprint will operate continuously for about 40 minutes to one hour.

27

..

28

3. The power light will blink if the batteries are running down.

Your Superprint will continue to operate on battery power for about

5 to 10 minutes after the power light starts blinking.

4. To completely recharge

the batteries, turn your

Superprint

off

and connect the

AC

charger/adapter for

12

to 14 hours.

Recharging continues as long as your AC charger/adapter is connected and your Superprint is turned off. Leaving the AC charger/adapter plugged in for a long time will not harm the batteries.

You can use your Superprint during the time you are recharging the batteries. Just remember to tu rn it off after you r call so recharging can continue.

NOTE: It is good to use your

Superprint on battery power.

Rechargeable batteries work best when they are used and recharged regularly.

If You Have a

Problem

Take good care of your Superprint. When you are not using it , snap on the case cover to protect it from dust and dirt. And be especially careful never to spill liquids on your machine. If the case gets dirty , use a damp cloth to wipe it clean .

If you do have a problem with your Superprint, first make sure that you have followed the instruction book carefully. Read the following list of problems and solutions for some suggestions. Then, if you still have a problem, contact your nearest authorized Ultratec repair center, or the

Ultratec

I~ational

Service Center for additional help.

1. An incoming message is all numbers and punctuation marks instead of words.

Press the

Space Bar.

The incoming message will change to words that you can read.

2.

Sometimes the message someone types to

me

does not make sense. Some of the letters in the message are missing or are wrong.

Garbled TDD messages happen when you have a weak telephone con­ nection, or when the person calling you has a TDD that is "out of tune ." When you receive a garbled message, turn up your Superprint's sensitivity to incoming TDD signals.

*

Select high sensitivity when you receive a garbled message:

Hold down the

SELECT

key while you press

[S]

(for Sensitivity). You will read "HIGH SENSITIVITY" on the display.

To return to normal sensitivity:

Hold down the

SELECT

key while you press

[S]

again. You will read

"NORMAL SENSITIVITY" on the display . When you turn your Super­ print off, it returns automatically to normal sensitivity.

*EAR.STM (Enhanced Acoustic Reception System TM) is Ultratec 's name for the Superprint function that lets you select high or normal sensitivity to incoming

TDD signals.

39

3. When I use my Superprint on battery power, the printer prints slowly or lightly.

Your Superprint batteries are low. Recharge them , following the instructions in Part IV, " Goi ng Places .

"

4. The batteries run down very soon after recharging.

This may happen if you do not use your Superprint regularly on battery power , or if the batteries are old.

First , give the batteries some "exercise." Completely discharge the batteries . Disconnect the AC charger/adapter , turn your Superprint on, and let it stand for an hour or more. Then, recharge the batteries overnight, following the instructions in Part IV, " Going Places ."

Repeat this two or three times.

If your batteries still run down quickly , they may be worn out. Replace the batteries following the instructions in the previous section , " How to Replace the Built-In Batteries."

5.

When I use the AC charger/adapter the power light blinks OR my Superprint does not turn on.

Check first to make sure your electrical outlet is working. If it is , your

AC charger/adapter may be defective OR there may be a problem with your Superprint. Send your Superprint and AC adapter to your nearest authorized Ultratec repair center.

6. The built-in printer stopped working.

Make sure the printer switch is turned on. Make sure the printer is turned on from the keyboard hold down the

SELECT

key while you press

[1]

(printer) once or twice until you read "PRINTER ON." (See items #1 and #2 on page 8 .

)

Make sure you are using thermal paper. Load it into the printer so that your Superprint prints on the shiny side.

Now , reset your printer by tu rn ing you r Superpri nt off then on again .

Then , push down gently on the top of the printer module to make sure the connections are snug.

If the printer still doesn ' t work ,

remove

it , and send it to you r nearest authorized Ultratec repair center for repair. You can still make calls with your Superprint after you have removed the printer.
