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, the Weitbrecht
modem remains the major technological breakthrough that
began telecommunications for the deaf. Ultratec wishes to
acknowledge the importance of Dr.Weitbrecht’s contribution to
the welfare of people who are deaf the world over.
Dr. Robert H. Weitbrecht,
1920–1983, inventor of
the first TTY modem.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS • iii
General Precautions
● SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
● Read and understand all instructions.
● Follow all warnings and instructions
on the Superprint Pro80 .
● Unplug the Superprint Pro80 from the
wall outlet and refer servicing to
qualified service personnel under the
following conditions:
✔ When the power supply cord or
plug is damaged or frayed.
✔ If liquid has been spilled into the
TTY.
✔ If the TTY has been exposed to rain
or water.
✔ If the TTY does not operate
normally when the operating
instructions are followed.
✔ If the TTY has been dropped and/or
damaged.
✔ If the TTY exhibits a distinct
change in performance.
● Adjust only those controls that are
covered by the operating instructions.
Improper adjustment of other controls
may damage the Superprint Pro80 .
● To clean: Unplug the Superprint
Pro80 from the wall outlet. Use a
damp cloth. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
● 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.l
Do not allow anything 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.
● Never attempt to open, disassemble or
service the Superprint Pro80 . All
repairs should be performed by an
authorized service center. Opening or
removing covers exposes you to the
risk of dangerous voltages and other
hazards. If reassembled incorrectly, the
Superprint Pro80 can become an
electrical shock hazard.
● Avoid using a telephone (other than a
cordless type) during an electrical
storm. There is a remote risk of
electric shock from lightning.
● Do not use the Superprint Pro80 to
report a gas leak in the vicinity of the
leak.
● Ultratec recommends plugging your
Superprint Pro80 into a surgeprotected outlet. This will protect the
TTY from damage caused by electrical
surges due to lightening or other
causes.
Battery Precautions
● Use only the type and size battery
specified in the instructions for your
unit. NEVER USE NiMH OR
ALKALINE RECHARGEABLE
BATTERIES.
● Do not dispose of the batteries in a
fire. Cells may explode. Check local
codes for possible special disposal
instructions.
● Do not open or mutilate the batteries.
Battery electrolyte is corrosive and
may cause damage to the eyes or skin.
It may be toxic if swallowed.
● Exercise care in handling batteries in
order not to short them with
conducting materials such as rings,
bracelets, and keys. The battery or
conductor may overheat and cause
burns.
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of
fire, electrical shock
and personal injury,
always follow these
basic safety precautions
when using the
Superprint Pro80.

FEATURES
Ring Flasher
This bright light flashes to let you know when someone is calling.
Special Function Buttons
The Superprint Pro80 has 12 specially designed buttons that let you use
common functions quickly and easily. The labels on top of the buttons tell
you which function it performs. To use one of these functions, just press
the appropriate button.
Some of the functions can be personalized. For example, the Auto-Answer
function can be personalized with a message that you type in. To

Turbo Code
®
Communication Protocol
The Superprint Pro80 uses this communication code to transmit what you
type through the phone line instantly. When your Superprint Pro80
connects to another TTY that uses Turbo Code, your conversation occurs
as fast as you type. This means that your conversation happens in “real
time” without annoying delays. For more information, see “Turbo Code” on
page 49.
Caller ID
If you have this optional service, which is available through your phone
company, you can view identification information about callers on the
Superprint Pro80 display. A record of calls, including hang-up calls, is
saved in your TTY while you are away. You can later review this record.
Auto ID
™
Alerting System
This audible signal is automatically sent to alert the person you are calling
that you are using a TTY.

8 • SETUP
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.
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 lightening or other causes.

INSTALLING PRINTER PAPER
The printer uses high-quality thermal paper. Use the order card that
comes with the TTY to order more paper. If you do not have the card,
contact your dealer or Ultratec (the address is on the inside front cover of
this manual).
1. Take off the printer cover by lifting the back edge of the cover up
toward the keyboard then lifting the cover off. A new unit may not
have the cover installed, in which case you will find it elsewhere
inside the box.
2. With the paper coming off the bottom of the roll, facing the back of
the Superprint Pro80, feed the edge of the paper into the slot on the
back until it stops.
3. Turn the Superprint Pro80 on, then press the key several times
until the rollers grab the paper and feed it through the printer.
4. Feed the paper through the slot in the printer cover and replace the
printer cover.
5. The two open ends of the paper holder fit
into the holes on each side of the paper
roll. Pull the two ends apart in order to
fit the paper roll between them. The
spring action of the holder will keep the
paper on it. You may need to remove the
paper holder from the Superprint Pro80
in order to install the roll of paper. To
replace the paper holder, snap it back
onto the bottom of the TTY.

Before Loading
Paper:
First, notice how the
paper holder is
installed. This holder

Special Dialing Requirements
I need an “outside line.”
You may need to type a “9” or other number to reach an outside line if
you are calling from an office building (see “Dialing Prefix” on page 45).
The exact method of dialing will depend on the telephone system, but
will be the same as any other telephone used on that system.
I need to “pause” while dialing.
Type a comma ( , ) to pause for two seconds while dialing. For example (9,
222 5555). This might be used when dialing an outside line with some
office telephone systems.
I need to call long distance.
When dialing, type a “1,” the area code and the number before pressing
.
I need to dial special symbols.
In order to dial the pound sign ( # ) or the asterisk symbol ( * ), you must
be using tone dialing (see “Dial Using” on page 45). These might be used
with automated touchtone answering systems or with office telephone
systems. Be sure to hold down the key while pressing the number
key with the desired symbol.
I need to dial a “hook flash.”
Press the button then type an exclamation point ( ! ). This might be
used for transferring a call. If more numbers are required after the hook
flash, these should be typed while you are still in Dial mode, before
pressing .

How can I tell what
is happening with
the call?
The Superprint Pro80
shows you the “call
progress” using a combination of the Display
and the Signal light.
Most calls require two
rings before the
Superprint Pro80 displays call progress.
