GETTING STARTED (CONT.)

ELECTRONIC VOICE

The Electronic Voice is a single unchangeable voice message that is stored in the memory of your 
PortaView Plus. The message is used for calling hearing people at VOICE/TDD number. It tells them 
“Please use TDD for hearing-impaired caller.”

The voice message will be repeated until your TDD conversation begins (when your TDD receives a 
signal from another TDD). As soon as the other person begins to type, the electronic voice message 
stops.

To turn the Electronic Voice ON or OFF

      • Press [CTRL] and [SPACE BAR] to turn your Electronic Voice on. VOICE ON will appear
        on the display screen.
      • Press [CTRL] and [SPACE BAR] to turn your Electronic Voice off again. VOICE OFF will
        appear on the display.

NOTE: It will be necessary to turn your electronic voice off before using any control key operations.

BATTERY POWER INFORMATION

Your Krown PortaView Plus is designed to operate from battery or 
AC (house electricity) power. To use the battery power, unplug the AC 
charger/adapter from the machine AND the wall outlet.

The Ni-Cad battery will operate for approximately 3-1/2 hours when 

fully
charged. The batteries will automatically recharge whenever the unit 
is plugged into the AC charger/adapter and the TDD is turned OFF. To 
help the battery last longer, let it run down until the Power Light starts 
to flash BRIGHT-dim-BRIGHT-dim. This means that the battery is run-
ning down and needs recharging. The light will flash for several minutes. 
Then the PortaView Plug will stop working. When this happens, you 
must change over to AC power to continue using your machine until you 
recharge the battery.

It’s suggested that you use the PortaView Plus with battery in a regular 
cycle. That is, operator the unit on battery power until it needs
recharging. Then recharge the battery by plugging the TDD into the AC 
charger/adapter for 12 to 14 hours. (The unit must be turned OFF in 
order to recharge.)

 

 

CAUTION: The adapter/charge is NOT interchangeable. You MUST use the adapter

 

 

that comes with your unit.
