Calling Another 1-Line CapTel User (CapTel to CapTel)
Because you want the person you are calling to receive captions, you will first need to connect to the captioning service.
1.Verify that the Caption feature is on. If the red light over the CAPTION button is not lit, turn on the feature by pressing the CAPTION button.
2.Pick up the handset and dial the CapTel Captioning Service voice number (see page 1). This is the number you normally give to hearing individuals to call you.
3.The recording will say: “Thank you for calling the Telephone Captioning Service. For Long Distance calls, be sure to register your preffered Long Distance Provider. For additional information, press #. Please enter the area code and phone number of the person you are dialing followed by the pound sign (#).”
4.Enter the phone number of the person you wish to call, then press the # key. Remember to dial the area code if necessary.
5.You may begin speaking as soon as you hear the person you are calling answer or you see the Signal Meter flicker (see Knowing What is Happening on the Line on page 14). You will receive captions of everything that they say.
