Using Hold/Mute
During a Captioned Call (Mute)
Press the button during a captioned call to mute your voice and
background sounds. Confirm that the red light above the button is
lit. As long as this light is on, you can still hear what the person on the
other end of the line is saying and you will still see captions on the display.
However, the other person will not be able to hear you. When you are
ready to resume your conversation, press the button a second time.
During a Non-Captioned Call (Hold)
Press the button during a non-captioned call to place the other
person on hold. Confirm that the red light above the button is lit.
As long as this light is on, the person on the other end of the line cannot
hear what you are saying and you cannot hear them. When you are ready
to resume your conversation, press the button a second time.
You can also resume your conversation from another telephone on the
same line. This is done by hanging up the handset while the CapTel is
on hold, then picking up the handset of the second phone. The CapTel is
hung up automatically.
Using Flash (Non-Captioned Calls Only)
Some telephone service features like call-waiting or 3-Way Calling
require a “hook flash.” The hook flash is a very brief interruption of the
connection like hanging up the phone for one second. When using hook
flash during a non-captioned conversation, press the button. There
is a brief click or silence on the line. If using call-waiting, the second
call should now be connected.
NOTE: The Flash button should not be used in 1-Line Mode during a
captioned call. This may disconnect the call.
