When using your telephone equipment, always follow
basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock, and injury to persons, including the
following:

1. Read and understand all instructions. Observe all
warnings and other markings on the product.

2. During thunderstorms, avoid using telephones
except cordless models. There may be a slight
chance of electric shock from lightning.

3. Do not use a telephone near a gas leak. If you
suspect a gas leak, report it immediately, but use
a telephone away from the area where gas is leaking.

4. Do not use this product near water, or when you
are wet. For example, do not use it in a wet base­ment or shower, or next to a swimming pool, bath­tub, kitchen sink or laundry tub. Do not use liquids
or aerosol sprays for cleaning. If the product
comes in contact with any liquids, unplug any line
or power cord immediately. Do not plug the
product back in until it has dried thoroughly.

5. Install this product in a protected location where
no one can trip over any line or power cord.
Protect cords from damage or abrasion.

6. If this product does not operate normally, read
“In Case of Difficulty” section. If you cannot
resolve the problem, or if the product is damaged,
refer to the Ameriphone Warranty. Do not open this
product except as may be directed in this owner’s
manual. Opening this product or reassembling it
incorrectly may expose you to hazardous voltage

or other risks. Opening this product automatically
voids the warranty.

7. If this product uses batteries as power back-up
during power outages, replace batteries only as
described in this owner’s manual. Do not burn or
puncture used batteries — they contain caustic
chemicals.

8. Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer
servicing to qualified service personnel under the
following conditions:

A. When the power supply cord or plug is

damaged or frayed.
B. If liquid has been spilled on the product.
C. If the product has been exposed to rain or

water.
D. If the product does not operate normally by

following the operating instructions. Adjust

only those controls that are covered by the

operating instructions because improper

adjustment of other controls may result in

further damage.
E. If the product has been dropped or appears

damaged.
F. If the product exhibits a distinct change in

performance.

9. If this product has a polarized plug with one wide
prong, it may not fit in non-polarized outlets. Do
not defeat the purpose of these plugs. If they do
not fit in your outlet, the outlet should be replaced
by an electrician.

NOTICE: The Canadian Department of
Communications label identifies certified equipment.
This certification means that the equipment meets
certain telecommunications network protective,
operational and safety requirements. The department
does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the
user's satisfaction.

Before installing the equipment, users should ensure
that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities
of the local telecommunications company. The
equipment must also be installed using an accept­able method of connection. The customer should be
aware that compliance with the above conditions
may not prevent degradation of service in some situ­ations. Repairs to certified equipment should be
made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facili­ty designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alter­ation made by the user to this equipment, or equip­ment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications
company cause to request the user to disconnect
the equipment.

Users should ensure for their own protection that the
electrical ground connections of the power utility,
telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe sys­tem, if present, are connected together. This precau­tion may be particularly important in rural areas.

CAUTION: Users should not attempt to make such
connections themselves, but should contact the
appropriate electric inspection authority, or electri­cian, as soon as possible.

NOTICE: The LOAD NUMBER (LN) assigned to
each terminal device denotes the percentage of the
total load to be connected to a telephone loop which
is used by the device, to prevent overloading. The
termination on a loop may consist of any combina­tion of devices subject only to the requirement that
the sum of the load numbers of all devices does not
exceed 100.

(CONTINUED)

The Q90 has a LOCK switch on the right
side. Turn the LOCK ON to prevent the
Q90 from accidentally turning on and
draining the battery. We
strongly advise you turn
the LOCK ON any time
you move the Q90 from
one place to another or
carry it in your luggage
or briefcase. Remember to turn the
LOCK OFF before using your Q90.

1. Background sounds will interfere
with a VCO or HCO call, so it is
very important to make these calls
in a quiet area. During an HCO
call, your caller should also be in a
quiet room.

2. You can make VCO and HCO calls
using a cordless or cellular phone.

3. When using a cellular phone for
VCO calls, turn the Hi-Speed™
mode OFF.

4. During a VCO or HCO call, if you
suspect there is static or other
noise on the phone line, turn the
Hi-Speed™ mode OFF.

5. For VCO calls, make sure the
green color microphone indicator
is ON before you speak.

CHAPTER 8
GLOSSARY OF MENU
MODE SETTINGS

To lear n 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.

CHAPTER 9
TROUBLE SHOOTING

If any problem should arise during operation of your TTY, go through the suggestions
listed below. Should the difficulty persist, contact AMERIPHONE or your authorized
dealer for assistance.

SYMPTOM CAUSE AND CORRECTIVE ACTIONS

Keyboard “Lock Up” - Q90 not
responding

Nothing happens when Q90 is
turned on

Batteries run down too soon after
charging

No dial tone for keyboard dialing

Nothing happens after you dial
from keyboard

First hold down Ctrl Shift and ESC
simultaneously for about 2 seconds. Then,
if the Q90 still does not respond, discon­nect the AC adapter and momentarily
remove one battery. This resets the internal
microprocessor.

No power. Check to make sure that both
ends of the AC adapter are firmly plugged
in. If you are using batteries, make sure
that each battery is properly installed and
that they are properly charged.

Batteries may not be charged properly.

First,
completely drain the batteries by following
this procedure: Unplug the AC adapter,
unplug the telephone line, turn on the Q90.
Hold down Ctrl then press F1 to place
the Q90 on line. Leave the Q90 on until it
automatically turns itself off. Next, plug in
the AC adapter and the phone line and let
the Q90 charge for 14 hours. If this does
not work, your batteries may need to be
replaced. Replace with NiCad
rechargeable batteries.
NOTE:

To avoid losing conversations
stored in memory, plug in the AC adapter
before removing the batteries.

Check to make sure both ends of the
telephone cord are firmly plugged in.

Make sure you press Return after
dialing the number. Pressing Return
completes the dialing sequence.

CHAPTER 10
MAINTENANCE INFORMATION

A. Caring for Your Q90

B. Recharging Batteries

Even though your Q90 TTY is built to last
and is designed to be maintenance free,
it contains sensitive and delicate
electronic parts. To protect your
investment and ensure the best
performance, treat it with care.

• Avoid dropping your Q90 or subjecting
it to any impact. Use the carrying
case when traveling.

• Clean your Q90 plastic case regularly
and use only a slightly damp, soft
cloth. To remove stains, use mild
soap. Never use detergents,
excessive water or harsh cleaning
agents.

• Do not allow dust to build up in the
gaps around the keys. Vacuum the
keyboard regularly. For best
protection, keep the dust cover on
when your Q90 is not in use.

Rechargeable batteries usually last
longer when they are used and
recharged regularly. For best results,
they should be completely drained and
then recharged every six months or so.
To drain the batteries, unplug the AC
adapter/charger, remove the telephone
line from the modular phone jack, turn
on the Q90 and use Ctrl F1 to select
the On Line condition. Leave the Q90
on until it automatically turns itself off.

WARNING...

DO NOT leave batteries drained of
power for more than 1 1/2 hours as your
conversation memory will be lost.

The batteries can normally be used and
recharged hundred of times. If they run
down quickly soon after charging, they
may need to be replaced.

NOTE:

Before removing the batteries,
be sure to plug in the AC adapter to
avoid erasing the conversation memory.

24

25

Here are some commonly accepted
abbreviations that reduce the need to
type long phrases.

GA means “Go Ahead”. When you finish
typing your sentence or message, press
GA key or type GA to show it’s the other
party’s turn to respond. For example,

“

HI, THIS IS JANE, HOW CAN I HELP

YOU? GA”.

When you see GA at the
end of an incoming sentence or
message, it is your turn to respond.

Q is often used instead of a question
mark. For example, “

HOW ARE YOU Q”.

SK means “Stop Keying”. Press SK key
or type SK when you are ready to end
the conversation. Typing GA followed by
SK is a polite way to say good-bye and
to give the other party a last chance to
respond before hanging up. For
example, “

NICE TALKING WITH YOU

SK”.

Type SKSK to show that you’re hanging
up. For example, “

BYE NOW SKSK”.

Here are more abbreviations which are
commonly used by TTY users.
