USING YOUR SUPERPRINT 4425 ™ 305–002705
Acknowledgement In 1963, Dr. Robert H. Weitbrecht, an American physicist who was deaf, developed an acoustic coupler that could send and receive teletypewriter signals over the telephone lines. His invention, the Weitbrecht Modem, enabled people who are deaf to use the telephone for the first time. While modern technology now makes it possible to build advanced microcomputer devices like your new Ultratec text telephone, Dr. Robert H.

CHAPTER 1 SET-UP All you need to do to set up the Superprint 4425 is plug it in! You have to plug in the AC adapter for 24 hours to charge the batteries. The ring flasher will not work properly until the batteries are fully charged. After that, leave the AC adapter plugged in all the time unless you need to use the batteries during a power outage or while traveling. The best way to use the Superprint 4425 is to plug in a telephone line. This is called direct connect.
Plugging in power and a telephone line Be sure to pull the plastic tab out of the battery compartment on the bottom of the Superprint 4425 before you plug in the AC adapter. Caution! Do not plug the Superprint 4425 into any line other than a standard telephone line. If you do, you may damage your telephone system or the Superprint 4425, and you will void your warranty. The picture above shows how to set up for direct connect use.
You can also connect by putting a telephone handset in the acoustic cups if for some reason you cannot plug a telephone line into the Superprint 4425. See Acoustic calling and answering on page 26 for more information. Charging the batteries The AC adapter supplies electricity to the Superprint 4425 and charges the batteries. Leaving the AC adapter plugged in will not harm the Superprint 4425 or the batteries.

About Turbo Code® Turbo Code is an improved version of Baudot code. It sends signals to other Turbo Code TTYs as fast as you type and allows you to interrupt the other person at any time during a conversation. The Superprint 4425 takes care of connecting in Turbo Code or Baudot code, depending on which code the other TTY is using. It only uses Turbo Code when you connect with another Turbo Code TTY. You know you are connected in Turbo Code if a dot appears in the lower left corner of the display.
If you see INTERRUPT on your display while the ring flasher flashes, it means that the other person wants to interrupt you and start typing. You can choose to stop and let the other person go ahead or continue typing yourself. You may also see INTERRUPT on your display even when you are not connected in Turbo Code if the other person taps the spacebar a few times. Turning off Turbo Code interrupt Ctrl + 9 You can turn off interrupt so that the other person cannot send an interrupt to you.
Reading conversation memory Shift + A conversation is everything you and the other person type during a call.

CHAPTER 8 CARE & REPAIR Ordinary care of your Superprint 4425 requires changing the printer paper when the paper runs out and replacing the batteries when they no longer hold a full charge. If you have any other problems, you may be able to solve them by reading the troubleshooting section. Besides the printer paper and battery compartments, the Superprint 4425 has no other user-serviceable parts. Any repair work should be done by a qualified service person.
Replacing the printer paper The printer uses high-quality thermal paper. Use the order card that comes with the Superprint 4425 to order paper. If you do not have a card, contact your dealer or Ultratec (the Ultratec address is on the inside front cover of this manual).
About the batteries The Superprint 4425 runs on batteries when you unplug the AC adapter or when the power fails. Fully-charged, the six AA rechargeable NiCad batteries will provide 45 to 60 minutes of normal use. When the power light blinks, you have about 5 minutes of battery power left. The batteries will last longer if you turn off the printer when you use battery power.
Replacing the batteries Replace the batteries every two or three years, or when they run down in less than 30 minutes and exercising them does not help. Use only AA NiCad rechargeable batteries. Turn over the Superprint 4425 and follow these steps to change batteries: CAUTION! The rechargeable batteries contain nickel and cadmium. Do not burn or puncture them. If you do, they could release toxic material that could injure you. Do not dispose of them in household trash.
Troubleshooting Direct connect Dialing does not work. Make sure you have the right tone or pulse setting for your telephone system. The display says NO DIRECT CONNECT. The Superprint 4425 is not properly connected to the telephone line. Be sure the cord is firmly plugged into the Superprint 4425 and the telephone wall jack. You can also try using a different telephone cord or wall jack. Poor reception The display shows all numbers, symbols, or unreadable characters instead of words. Press the Spacebar .
Printer The printer does not work. Be sure the printer is on. If it is, try resetting the printer by turning the Superprint 4425 off and on again. The printer works, but it prints too lightly or not at all. Make sure you have high-grade thermal printer paper and it is correctly installed. See Replacing the printer paper on page 72. The printer only prints the bottom half of characters. The print head should be replaced. Contact your dealer or Ultratec.
Clearing all memories You can clear all conversations, memos, directory entries, and auto-answer messages at one time. Follow these steps to clear all memories: 1. Press the clear key ( Ctrl + 8 ). You will see CLEAR (CONVERSATION) on the display. 2. Press the Spacebar 3. Press the Return to change the setting to ALL MEMORY. key. 4. Press the Y key to clear all memories.

When you do, the Superprint 4425 will not try to use other codes. Follow these steps: 1. Press the code key ( Ctrl + 0 ). You will see CODE (AUTOMATIC) on the display. 2. Press the Spacebar to change the setting to BAUDOT. 3. Press the Return key. You will see BAUDOT (AUTO) BAUD on the display. 4.
Baud rate is how fast characters travel. You can choose 110 or 300 baud, but 110 is rarely used. The default baud rate is 300. Duplex controls how characters are displayed. If you get double characters (lliikkee tthhiiss) or none at all, change the option between half duplex and full duplex. The default is half duplex. Parity controls error-checking. You can choose 7N1, 8N1, 7E1, or 7O1. The first number is data bits. The middle letter means (N)o parity, (E)ven parity, or (O)dd parity.
Changing ASCII seek time Ctrl + 9 This option sets the length of time during which the Superprint 4425 sends out an ASCII seek tone. The normal TTY seek time is three seconds. You may need more time if you often connect to computers. Six seconds is recommended. Follow these steps to change the setting: 1. Press the options key ( Ctrl + 9 ). You will see PRINT (UP/LOW) CASE on the display. 2. Press the display. Return key until you see ASCII SEEK TIME (3) on the 3.
During an ASCII call If you do not receive a clear message during an ASCII call, try: • Changing the parity setting • Changing the duplex option. • Using the other baud rate (110 or 300). If the code option is set to automatic and your Superprint 4425 loses the ASCII connection, the Superprint 4425 will display NO ASCII CONNECTION! and change to Baudot code. To return to ASCII code, you must turn on ASCII yourself. See Turning on ASCII code and changing options on page 81.
STICKY KEYS Ordinarily, when you use the Ctrl or Shift keys, you must hold down either key while you press another key. If you have trouble pressing two keys at one time, the sticky keys feature lets you use the Ctrl and Shift keys by pressing one key at a time. Press either Shift key five times to turn on sticky keys. You will see STICKY KEYS ON on the display. Now you can dial by pressing the Ctrl key and then pressing the 1 key. You do not need to hold down the Ctrl key.

Conversation Etiquette GA When you talk with another person by TTY, you type while the other person reads. When you want the other person to respond, type GA for “Go ahead.” GA OR SK To say goodbye, type GA OR SK. This gives the other person a chance to say any last words before ending the conversation. SKSK Type SKSK to end the conversation. Q Some people prefer to type Q instead of a question mark because it saves time and is easier to type.
