CALLING & ANSWERING (1-LINE MODE)
Placing a Call with Captions
Using the CapTel is easy —just pick up the handset and dial:
1. Verify that the Caption feature is on. The red light over the
button should be lit. If the light is not on, turn on the feature by
pressing the button before dialing your call.
2. Pick up the handset. Dial the phone number of the person you are
calling (example: 555-1234).
Remember to dial a 1 + area code
if the number is long distance.
3.
After a few seconds you will see
a message letting you know that the
Captioning Service is
being connected
to your CapTel
phone. Once
connected, the Captioning Service
dials the person you are calling.
4. You may begin speaking as soon
as you hear the other person answer
or see the Signal Meter flicker
(see Knowing What is Happening
on the Line on page 14).
NOTE: If the Caption feature is turned off when you dial, the
Captioning Service will not be connected and you will not receive
captions. You cannot turn on captions manually in the middle of a call
with 1-Line CapTel. If you would like captions, hang up, turn on the
Caption feature, and place the call again.
