A Note From the sComm CEO & Co-Founder

Thank you for purchasing a UbiDuo 3, the next generation UbiDuo 3, the World’s Most

Ubiquitous Communication Device for people who are deaf, hard of hearing, and hearing who

interact with each other face-to-face every day. It is not only for the deaf and hard of hearing,

but also for those who have communication barriers. The UbiDuo 3 has opened the door for

many people and has given them a sense of freedom and independence like nothing else. With

the UbiDuo 3, you’ll be able to communicate directly, without an interpreter and without writing

notes back and forth on paper or reading lips, anywhere anytime and, most importantly, be able

to interact with each other directly without barriers.

For those of you who have purchased a UbiDuo 3 to better serve clients or employees who are

deaf or hard of hearing, congratulations. The UbiDuo 3 empowers deaf and hard of hearing

employees to interact with hearing co-workers and managers in addition to interpreters. While

there may be some situations like staff meetings or workshops in which an interpreter might be

necessary, you now will be able to hold impromptu conversations, quick training sessions or

meetings without worrying about an interpreter not being available.

Please remember though, the UbiDuo 3 is designed specifically for face-to-face communication.

We hope that every worker who is deaf or hard of hearing in America will have a UbiDuo 3 on

their desk or in their work area so that they too can experience the kind of spontaneous

conversations that hearing people engage in every day.

We’d love to hear your feedback about the UbiDuo 3, whether you’re a person who is deaf or

hard of hearing using it in personal or professional settings, or whether you’re a business owner

who bought the UbiDuo 3 for an employee who is deaf or hard of hearing. We’d love to hear

from agencies who have recommended the UbiDuo 3 to clients who are deaf or hard of hearing

who interact with the deaf. More information about how to contact us is included later in this

manual.

Communicating freely,

Jason Curry

CEO & Co-Founder

Important Information

When using electrical appliances, basic safety instructions should always be followed.

-Read all instructions before using the UbiDuo 3.

-To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put the UbiDuo 3 or its cord or plug in water or other

liquids.

-Do not operate either side of the UbiDuo 3 with a damaged cord or plug, or after either side has been

damaged in any manner. Contact sComm Tech Support if the UbiDuo 3 is damaged in any way.

-Do not let cords touch hot surfaces and where possible, do not let cords hang over the edge of a table, desk

or counter.

-The use of accessories not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury.

The UbiDuo 3 is designed and manufactured to be rugged and durable, however it should still be treated with the

same care one would give to a laptop computer. Do not drop it, do not spill liquids on it, and do not unscrew any

part of the UbiDuo 3 to remove the casing.

Only use the UbiDuo 3 power cord to charge the units. The UbiDuo 3 charger operates on 120 volts AC; if you are

traveling overseas, you will need an appropriate converter.

Separating the Two Halves of the UbiDuo 3

To separate the two halves of the UbiDuo 3 without damaging the internal parts, always lay the UbiDuo 3 on

a flat, hard surface such as a desk or a table.

Grasp the two blue mental hinges and pull them away from each other (as seen below).

Follow the same manner in putting the UbiDuo 3 back together by using a flat, hard surface. When you push

the blue mental hinges into their slot you will hear or feel a click to let you know the device halves are

securely together.

Power and Ports Panel

This section describes the panel on the right-hand side of the UbiDuo 3. Here you will learn about the Power

Button and different ports.

3.5mm Audio Socket

Used to connect or attach an external speaker source or headphones (only SGD/TTS models provide speech

generating capability).

USB-A Flash Storage Port

Used to insert a flash drive/USB stick to the UbiDuo 3 to allow export of saved conversations and install

firmware upgrades. If you are using an external speaker that is equipped with a USB connector, you can use

this USB port as external power for this same speaker.

USB-C Charging Port

Used to charge the UbiDuo 3 batteries with the supplied Y-cable cord and power adapter. On select models

this port is also used in conjunction with the Y-cable to provide a “wired” connection between the two halves

of the UbiDuo 3 in environments where a wireless connection is not permitted for security reasons.

Mini HDMI Port

Allows the attachment of a television, external monitor or projected screen for easy viewing or to allow user

to communicate with a large group of people.

External Speaker for the UbiDuo 3 SGD

The UbiDuo 3 SGD with UbiDuo 3 Accessory is a pair with one half being a TTS (Text-to-Speech) device with

capabilities to generate synthesized voice with the other half being a non-TTS that cannot generate a

synthesized voice.

To identify which half of the pair is the SGD model, it will have the Speaker Output Port/audio socket while

the Accessory model will not.

You can connect an external speaker to the Speaker Output Port/audio socket. The USB port is able to

provide power for the external speaker if equipped with a USB connector.

Powering the UbiDuo 3 “ON” and “OFF”

The power button is located at the upper right-hand corner of each half of the UbiDuo 3.

To power “ON” the UbiDuo 3, press and hold the power button for 2 to 3 seconds until the blue power light

indicator is illuminated and then release.

To power “OFF” the UbiDuo 3, press and release the illuminated power button.

NOTE: If any existing conversation have not be explicitly saved, turning the UbiDuo 3 “OFF” wipes them from

the device’s memory.

Main Menu Icons and Accessible Functions

On this screen you will find several indicators and icons. These include:

•Current date and time.

•Auto Link Indicator –provides a visual confirmation that

one half of the UbiDuo 3 is connected to another half.

•Charging Indicator –displays when the half of the

UbiDuo 3 is plugged into an electrical outlet.

•Battey Indicator –shows the charge remaining.

•Three main icons.

•Three square background color selection icons for the

Main Menu screen (see image below for more

information).

At the bottom of the Main Menu screen, immediately below the Settings icon, there are 3 (three) square

boxes. These are used to select the background color of the Main Menu screen only.

To select which function to use, simply tab the desired icon on the screen, or use the arrow keys to move the

highlighted outline to the desired icon and press Enter.

Press the Esc (Escape) key to return to the Main Menu, or touch the return icon ( ) at the top right of the

screen.

Conversation Icon/Split Screen

This function allows for both users of the UbiDuo 3 to communicate

simultaneously with each other; and is the reason for the UbiDuo’s existence.

When a key is pressed on one half of the UbiDuo 3, its corresponding character

is immediately transmitted to the second half and displayed on the screen. This

gives each user the ability to type and read simultaneously without having to

wait for the other user to finish typing.

The Enter key does not function as a command to send a line of text; it only

commands the UbiDuo 3 to start a new line of text.

Both halves of the UbiDuo 3 must be turned on for a split screen chat to be initiated. The two halves will

automatically connect with each other when the split screen chat is selected on one of the halves.

The text you type will appear at the top of the screen. The text the other user types will appear at the bottom

half of the screen.

Scrolling Through a Conversation

To review your own chat, use the up, down, left, and right arrows to scroll through the conversation.

To review your partner’s chat, press the Tab key to switch to your partner’s chat window; then use the up,

down, left, and right arrow keys to scroll through the conversation.

Press the TAB key again to toggle back to your own chat window.

Exiting the Split Screen Chat

To exit the split screen chat and return to the Main Menu without saving

your conversation, press the Esc key.

Page 9of 21

Settings Icon

The Settings screen enables the UbiDuo 3 to be configured to suit your

preferences. Changes made in this screen will persist even after the UbiDuo 3 is

turned “OFF.”

Each UbiDuo 3 half can be configured separately. This allows you to customize the

other half to better suit your chat partner if, for example, a different contrast

between the background and text is desired.

To enter the Settings screen, tap the Settings icon, or press the Tab key until the

Settings icon on the Main Menu is highlighted and then press Enter.

Navigating Within the Settings Icon

Appearance

In the Appearance icon you are able to view and change the screen’s Brightness,

Split Screen Options, and Fonts.

Brightness/Sleep Timer

The Brightness setting controls the brightness of the screen’s backlight. There are

two ways to change the Brightness setting on the UbiDuo 3.

The first is to use your finger to slide the brightness adjust left or right on the

screen. The second is to use the left and right arrow keys to move the adjustor.

When the desired brightness is reached, tap the return icon at the top right of the

screen. Alternatively, you can use the Esc key to return to the previous menu.

Whenever you turn “ON” your UbiDuo 3, the screen brightness will be set to the

new level.

The UbiDuo 3 keyboard also has backlight built in that lights up the keyboard from

underneath to making using easier in low light conditions.

In this mode you also have the capability to adjust the Sleep Timer for your display screen.

Screen Options

In the Screen Options you can modify the Conversation screen display to your

preferences.

Scenario –Select 2-way, 3-way, and 4-way settings for customization.

Format –Rearranges the Conversation screen horizontally or vertically.

Order –Toggles the location of your chat window. In horizontal mode, it will toggle

your chat window from the top half of the screen to the bottom half. In vertical mode,

it will toggle your chat window from left to right.
