1. A Note from the CEO
Thank you for purchasing a UbiDuo 2, the next generation UbiDuo 2, 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 2
has opened the door for many people and has given them a sense of freedom and
independence like nothing else. With the UbiDuo 2, 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 2 to better serve clients or employees
who are deaf or hard of hearing, congratulations. The UbiDuo 2 empowers the deaf &
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 the
interpreter not being available.
Please remember, though, the UbiDuo 2 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 2 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 2, 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 a UbiDuo 2 for an employee who is deaf or hard of hearing.
We’d love to hear from agencies who have recommended the UbiDuo 2 to clients who
are deaf or 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

2. Important Information
When using electrical appliances, basic safety instructions should always be followed.
•Read all instructions before using the UbiDuo 2.
•To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put the UbiDuo 2 or its cord or
plug in water or other liquid.
•Do not operate either side of the UbiDuo 2 with a damaged cord or plug, or after
either side has been damaged in any manner. Contact sComm Tech Support if
the UbiDuo 2 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 2 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 2 to remove
the casing. Use only the UbiDuo 2 power cord to charge the units. The UbiDuo 2
charger operates on 120 volts AC; if you are traveling overseas, you will need an
appropriate converter.

UbiDuo Diagram
a. Separating the Two Halves
To separate the two halves of the UbiDuo 2 without damaging the internal parts, always
lay the UbiDuo 2 flat, preferably on a hard surface such as a desk or table. Then grasp
the two J-hook metal hinges and pull them away from each other. See the illustrations
below.

3. Power and Ports Panel
This section describes the panel on the right-hand side of the UbiDuo with the Power
button and different ports.
USB Port – Used to attach a flash drive to the UbiDuo 2. This provides a way to copy
saved conversations or to install firmware upgrades.
HDMI Port – Allows attachment of an external monitor or projector for easy viewing or to
communicate with a group of people.
Micro USB Charging Port – Used to charge the UbiDuo 2 batteries with the supplied Y-
cable and power adapter. On select models, this port is also used along with the Y-
cable to provide a wired connection between the two halves in environments where a
wireless connection is not permissible for security reasons.

4. Turning the biDuo 2 On and Off
To turn on the UbiDuo 2, press and hold the power button for 2-3 seconds (a clear
plastic button located on the upper right hand corner of each unit) until the blue power
indicator light comes on, then release it.
To turn off the UbiDuo 2, press and release the power button. If any existing
conversations have not been explicitly saved, turning the UbiDuo 2 off wipes them from
the device’s memory.
5. Main Menu
When the UbiDuo 2 is turned on, the Main Menu screen is displayed. On this screen
you’ll see several indicators and icons, including the current date and time, the auto link
indicator which provides a visual confirmation that one half of the UbiDuo 2 is connected
to another half, a charging indicator which is displayed when the half is plugged into an
electrical outlet, a battery indicator which shows the charge remaining, three main icons
and three square background color selection icons.
The main functions accessible from the Main Menu include:
Split screen- starts a split screen chat session.
Settings - check your settings or change your default settings.
Saved - save a conversation or view saved conversations.
5

At the bottom of the Main Menu screen, immediately below the Settings icon, are three
square boxes. These are used to select the background color.
To select which function to use, simply tap the desired icon on the screen, or use the
arrow keys to move the highlight outline to the desired icon and press Enter.
Press the Esc key to return to the Main Menu, or tap the return icon at the top right
of the screen.
a. Split Screen
This function allows both users to communicate simultaneously with each other, and is
the reason for the UbiDuo 2’s existence. When a key is pressed on one half of the
UbiDuo 2, its corresponding character is immediately transmitted to the second half and
displayed on its screen. This gives each user the ability to type and read simultaneously
without having to wait for the others to finish typing. The Enter key does not function as
a command to send a line of text; it only commands the UbiDuo to start a new line.
