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.

3. Unplug the Superprint 4425 and the LVD from the wall outlet
before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
4. Do not use the Superprint 4425 or the LVD near water, for example,
near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.
5. Do not place the Superprint 4425 or the LVD on an unstable cart,
stand, or table. The unit may fall, causing serious damage to the Superprint 4425 or the LVD.
6. The Superprint 4425 and the LVD should be operated only from the
type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your dealer or local power company.
7. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate the
Superprint 4425 or the LVD where the cord will be damaged by persons walking on it.
8. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords. This overloading
can result in a fire or electric shock.
9. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the
Superprint 4425 or LVD. Take them to a qualified service person when service or repair is required. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect re-assembly can cause electric shock when the unit is used again.
10. Avoid using a telephone (except a cordless type) during an electrical
storm. There is a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
4 • IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
11. Unplug the Superprint 4425 and LVD 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 into the Superprint 4425 or LVD.
c. If the Superprint 4425 or the LVD has been exposed to rain or
water.
d. If the Superprint 4425 or LVD does not operate normally by

13. Ultratec recommends plugging your Superprint 4425 and LVD into a
surge-protected outlet. This will protect the equipment from damage caused by electrical surges due to lightening or other causes.
Battery safety
Caution: To reduce the risk of fire or injury to persons, read and follow
these instructions:
1. Use only the type and size battery specified in the battery
instructions for your unit.
2. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. Cells may explode. Check
local codes for possible special disposal instructions.
3. Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Released electrolyte is
corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
4. 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.

SETUP 9
All you need to do to set up the Superprint 4425 and Large Visual Display (LVD) is plug them in. You must plug in the Superprint 4425 AC adapter for at least 24 hours to charge the batteries. The ring flasher will not work properly until the batteries are fully charged. After that, leave both AC adapters plugged in all the time unless you need to use batteries during a power outage or while traveling. (The LVD does not have a battery and can only be used with the AC adapter.)
The best way to use the Superprint 4425 is to plug in a telephone line. This is called direct connect. But if you cannot plug in a telephone line, you can also make and answer calls by putting a telephone handset in the Superprint 4425 acoustic cups.

CHAPTER
1
Plugging in power, a telephone line and the LVD
Be sure to pull the plastic tab out of the battery compartment under the Superprint 4425 before you plug in the AC adapter.
Caution! The Large Visual Display (LVD) comes with its own AC adapter. Do not mix up the Superprint 4425 and LVD adapters. If you plug the Superprint 4425 adapter into the LVD, you will damage the LVD. If you plug the LVD adapter into the Superprint 4425, you will damage the Superprint 4425.
Do not plug the Superprint 4425 into any line other than a standard analog telephone line. If you do, you may damage your telephone system or the Superprint 4425, and you will void your warranty.
10 SETUP
LVD Adapter – The
LVD adapter is smaller, heavier, almost square, and has a smooth black surface. It has no label.
Superprint 4425 Adapter – The
Superprint 4425 adapter is more rectangular and has a rougher surface. The label says “Ultratec.”
SETUP 11
1. Plug the small
end of the ribbon cable into the LVD.
2. Plug the large
end of the ribbon cable into the Superprint
4425.
3. Plug one end
of the tele­phone line into either telephone jack on the Superprint
4425.
4. Plug the other
end of the telephone line into a tele­phone wall outlet.
5. Plug the
Superprint 4425 AC adapter cord into the jack on the back of the Superprint
4425.
6. Plug the
Superprint 4425 AC adapter into an electrical outlet.
7. Plug the LVD
AC adapter cord into the LVD.
8. Plug the LVD
AC adapter into an elec­trical outlet.
The picture on the previous page shows how to set up for direct connect use. Direct connect means that the telephone line is plugged directly into the Superprint 4425. You do not need a telephone. When you use direct connect, you can dial directly from the keyboard and use auto-answer.
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 28 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.
Leave the AC adapter plugged in for 24 hours to charge the batteries when you set up your Superprint 4425. You can use the Superprint 4425 at the same time. Fully-charged batteries will provide 45 to 60 minutes of normal use. For more information on using battery power, see About the batteries on page 75.
What kind of telephone line?
When the telephone line is directly connected to the Superprint 4425, you need a standard (analog) telephone line with either pulse or tone dialing. If you plan to use the Superprint 4425 in an office, the line may need modification because many offices have digital telephone systems. Contact your telephone installer to insure your line supports a standard single-line telephone. This is the same kind of line you need for many fax machines or computer modems.
Setting pulse or tone dialing
Your Superprint 4425 comes set for tone dialing, which is used by most telephone lines. If your line uses pulse dialing, make sure the Superprint 4425 is set to use pulse dialing. For more information, see Setting pulse dialing on page 66.
12 SETUP
Connecting a signaler or telephone
The Superprint 4425 has an extra jack for a telephone or a signaler. You can use either jack for the telephone line.
About the control key
The control key, , gives instructions to the Superprint 4425 when you hold it down and press a function key. Most of the function keys are on the top row of the Superprint 4425. See Superprint 4425 function keys on pages 16–18 for a complete list.
You must hold down the key while pressing the other key. For example, to dial, hold down the key while you press the key.

About Auto ID
The Auto ID feature alerts a hearing person that you are calling from a TTY. It alerts the person by sending several audible tones over the telephone line every few seconds. Auto ID helps emergency services such as 911 detect that you are calling by TTY. Auto ID is not the same as Caller ID, a separate service available through your telephone service provider that requires additional equipment.
Auto ID comes on when you turn on your Superprint 4425 and continues until you start a conversation. If you are on-line, you will see SENDING AUTO ID on the display every time the Superprint 4425 sends out tones.
Auto ID will also begin sending tones whenever no one types for a few minutes during a conversation. It continues until someone starts typing.
Turning off Auto ID +
You can turn off Auto ID by following these steps:
1. Press the options key ( + ). You will see PRINT (UP/LOW)
CASE on the display.
2. Press the key until you see AUTO ID (ON) on the display.
3. Press the to change the setting to AUTO ID (OFF).
4. Press the key to save the new setting and leave options. Note: When you turn off Auto ID, it stays off and will not send tones
until you turn it on again. This means that an emergency service center such as 911 cannot use Auto ID tones to detect your TTY call.

Dialing tips
You may need to type a 9 or other number to reach an outside line if you are using the Superprint 4425 in an office. The exact method of dialing will depend on your local telephone system. Dialing a TTY call should be the same as dialing a voice call.
Use a comma to put in a one-second pause. For example: 9,222 5555. For long distance, include a 1 and the area code. Use an ! for a hook flash. A hook flash is used in a voice mail system or to
transfer a call. You cannot use * and # with pulse dialing.
