When teletype system malfunctions it is difficult to pinpoint problems because of the multiple units involved. It usually involves removing the unit and leaving the deaf person without communication. Teletype test unit generates perfect test signals like those sent or received by the teletype system's various components. By testing each component separately, a technician can quickly identify the defective part and often can adjust it without removing the equipment from service. Unit also serves as a tool for preventive maintenance providing a perfect signal source for adjusting circuits and machinery.
