X. IMPORTANT INFORMATION
TAKING CARE OF YOUR TDD
• CAUTION: The adapters are NOT interchangeable. You MUST use the adapter that
comes with your TDD.
• Be sure to turn your machine OFF when not in use.
• Keep your machine away from extreme temperatures - HOT or COLD.
• Avoid dropping or shaking the unit. Electronic devices are very fragile.
• Keep the unit as dust-free as possible. (Dust covers are available from
Krown Manufacturing.)
• NEVER run the printer without paper.
• NEVER pull the paper out without pressing the [RETURN] key.
• When traveling by air, carry your PortaPrinter in your carry on luggage.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Q: Sometimes nothing happens when my TDD is turned ON. Any suggestion?
A: Be sure the telephone cord is to your LEFT. Check the AC adapter/charger to
make sure it is properly connected to the Porta Printer.
Q: Why won’t my printer print?
A: Your paper may be install wrong. See page 29 for information on loading paper.
