TURNING CAPTIONS ON/OFF DURING A CALL

In 2-line mode, you can turn the caption feature on or off at any point

during your telephone conversations. Simply press the

CAPTION

 

button to

turn the feature ON or OFF. When the red light above the

 

 

 

button is

 

CAPTION

lit, you will receive captions. When the light is off, the call will not be captioned.

When you turn captions on in the middle of a call, there will be an initial delay of at least 15 seconds before captions begin as the phone connects to the Captioning Service.

IMPORTANT: If an incoming call was dialed through the toll-free Captioning Service, you will receive captions but will not be able to turn captions off during the call.

For more information about CapTel features and menu options, please refer to the CapTel user manual.

USING CALL-WAITING

With 2-line CapTel, you can use enhanced telephone features, such as call-waiting, that you may have purchased from your phone service. To use call-waiting during a call:

1.Listen for a beep (or read TONES in the captions) during a conversation. It may indicate an incoming call.

2.Press the FLASH button to switch to the second call (you will receive captions of this call as well).

3.Press the

FLASH

button to return to the first call if appropriate.

NOTE: If line 2 has a call-waiting option, you should enter a call-waiting block prefix in the CapTel menu. This will prevent an interruption of captions. You will still receive call-waiting on line 1, the line that carries your conversation. Please refer to the CapTel user manual for instructions on blocking call-waiting.
