Acknowledgement
In 1963, Dr. Robert H.Weitbrecht, an
American physicist who was deaf, devel-
oped 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 microcom-
puter devices like your new Ultratec
text telephone, the Weitbrecht modem
remains the major technological break-
through 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 text telephone modem.

Important safety instructions
When using your Uniphone 1140, basic safety precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and
injury to persons.
Save these instructions!
1. Read and understand all instructions.
2. Follow all warnings and instructions on the Uniphone 1140.
3. Unplug the Uniphone 1140 from the wall outlet before
cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp
cloth for cleaning.
4. Do not use the Uniphone 1140 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 Uniphone 1140 on an unstable cart, stand, or
table. The Uniphone 1140 may fall, causing serious damage to
the Uniphone 1140.
6. The Uniphone 1140 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 Uniphone 1140 where people can walk on the cord.
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
Uniphone 1140, but take it to a qualified service person when
service or repair work is required. Opening or removing covers
may expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect
re-assembly can cause electric shock when the Uniphone 1140
is subsequently used.
10. Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an
electrical storm. There is a remote risk of electric shock from
lightning.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS • 3
11. Unplug the Uniphone 1140 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 Uniphone 1140.
c. If the Uniphone 1140 has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the Uniphone 1140 does not operate normally by
following the operating instructions. Adjust only those
controls that are covered by the operating instructions.
Improper adjustment of other controls may result in
damage and will often require extensive work by a
qualified technician to restore the Uniphone 1140 to
normal operation.
e. If the Uniphone 1140 has been dropped and/or damaged.
f. If the Uniphone 1140 exhibits a distinct change in
performance.
12. Do not use the Uniphone 1140 to report a gas leak in the
vicinity of the leak.
13. Ultratec recommends plugging your Uniphone 1140 into a
surge-protected outlet. This will protect the TTY 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.

INTRODUCTION
Your Uniphone 1140 is both a text telephone (TTY) and a standard
telephone. It can be used to make telephone calls, TTY calls, or
Voice Carry Over (VCO) calls.
For a voice call, pick up the handset and use the Uniphone 1140
just like any other telephone.
For a TTY call, press the key and type. To use VCO, pick
up the handset at any time during your call.
Other features of the Uniphone 1140 include the following:
Auto-answer answers the telephone when you are busy or away
and takes TTY messages.
Turbo Code®communication protocol transmits typed characters
to other Turbo Code TTYs as fast as you can type. Turbo Code also
allows you to interrupt the other person while he or she is typing.
Auto ID™ alerting system. Auto ID automatically alerts the
answering party that you are calling by TTY.
Fastdial is a directory that allows you to store 10 telephone
numbers including police, safety, and fire numbers. When you want
to call a number that is stored in the directory, the Uniphone 1140
can dial the number for you automatically.
The ringer and the flasher both signal incoming calls.
The greeting message lets you send a quick “Hello.”
Call progress displays the ringing or busy status of the telephone
line.
Battery backup allows you to use the Uniphone 1140 during a
power outage. A 9-volt alkaline battery (not included) powers the
Uniphone 1140 for 30-45 minutes during a power outage.
