About Turbo Code

Your Uniphone 1000 uses either Turbo Code or Baudot code during a

TTY conversation. Turbo Code is an improved version of Baudot code

because it sends typed characters to other Turbo Code TTYs as fast as you

type. Using Turbo Code allows you to interrupt the other person while he

or she is typing.

Turbo Code also allows you to use the special “shift” characters on the top

row of your TTY keyboard (

example: @ # % ^ & * _ < >). If your call

is connected in Baudot, these characters cannot be received or printed at

the other end of the line. This is yet another example of why Turbo Code

is better for TTY communication than Baudot—especially in the day of

sharing your email address.

The Uniphone 1000 automatically connects in either Turbo Code or

Baudot code depending on what code the other TTY is using.

Using Turbo Code interrupt

When you are connected to another Turbo Code-equipped TTY, you can

interrupt the other person while he or she is typing by holding down the

key and pressing the key. You will see INTERRUPT

REQUESTED on your display. The other person will see INTERRUPT

on his or her display. The other person can either choose to stop typing

and let you type or ignore your interruption and continue typing.

If you see INTERRUPT on your display while you are typing, it means

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.

The interrupt feature only works with TTYs that have Turbo Code and

only when the other person is typing continuously. If nothing happens

when you try to interrupt the other person, the other TTY may not have

the interrupt feature or the other person may not be typing continuously.

What kind of telephone line?

You need a standard analog telephone line with either pulse or tone

dialing. If you plan to use the Uniphone 1000 in an office, the telephone

line may need modification because many offices have digital telephone

systems. Contact your telephone installer to assure that your office

telephone system supports a standard telephone line. This line is the same

kind of telephone line you need for many fax machines or computer

modems.

Connecting a signaler light

If you want to use a signaler light with the Uniphone 1000, plug the

signaler light into an unused extension-telephone wall jack. If you have

only one jack in your house or office, use a Y-jack (also called a duplex

jack) to plug both the Uniphone 1000 and the signaler into the same

outlet. You can get a Y-jack at any telephone store.

Setting pulse or tone dialing

The Uniphone 1000 is set to tone dial. If your telephone line uses pulse

dialing, set the dial switch on the back of the Uniphone 1000 to PULSE.

Contact your telephone company if you are not sure about the dial setting

your telephone uses.

About Auto ID

™

Auto ID alerts a hearing person or an emergency service such as 911 that

you are using a TTY. Auto ID only works in TTY mode. After you dial a

number, Auto ID sends several audible tones over the telephone line

every few seconds. You will see SENDING ID on the display. Auto ID

stops sending tones when someone starts typing.

Auto ID will also send tones during a TTY conversation if no typing

occurs for a few moments. It will continue sending tones until typing

resumes.

Auto ID is not the same as Caller ID, a separate service available through

your telephone service provider that requires additional equipment.
