REQUIREMENTS FOR 2-LINE

Using 2-Line CapTel requires two analog telephone lines.
• Two separate telephone lines, each with its own separate telephone
number (not just an extension or one line that supports two numbers).
• Both lines must be analog, the same type of telephone line that is
used by a standard telephone. A Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) may
be used with an appropriate analog filter.
If you do not already have a second telephone line, arrangements for a
second line should be made with your local telephone service provider. The
second line can be very basic, no special features or services are needed
(such as Caller-ID, long distance, or call-waiting). Charges may apply.
NOTE: Digital telephone lines are not compatible with the CapTel
phone and may damage the telephone. Please use the phone cord
provided with the unit or use a similar phone cord. If you are installing
the CapTel in an office setting, check with the telephone system
administrator to ensure an analog port is available. A Digital Subscriber
Line (DSL) may be used with an appropriate analog filter.

the captioning service via the second line…
…which transcribes it into text that appears
on the
CapTel
display.
LINE #2 (CAPTIONS ONLY)
Talk to the other person
and listen to her response.
