During the pause, the person calling you hears the recorded message “Please hold, the person you have called will be with you shortly,” and will not hear you speak.

5.Watch the display. You may begin speaking as soon as you see that the call has connected.

If you answer an incoming call on a phone other than the CapTel and you hear a beep that reoccurs throughout the call, the person who called you used the CapTel Captioning Service. Pick up your CapTel phone. It will detect the beep signal and begin to provide you with captions. Hang up the extension phone to continue via CapTel.

There is a 2-minute time limit for the CapTel phone to be picked up when answered on another extension or the call will be disconnected.

NOTE: If the call was not placed through the Captioning Service, the call will not be captioned. You cannot turn on captions manually in the middle of a call with 1-Line CapTel. The screen will go dark. If you would like captions, ask the person to hang up and call you again through the Captioning Service using the toll-free voice number (see page 1).

Placing a Call Without Captions

Anyone can use the CapTel phone. If you don’t need captions, turn off the feature by pressing the CAPTION button before picking up the handset:

1.Press the CAPTION button to turn off the Caption feature. Verify that the red light is off.

2.Pick up the handset.

3.Dial the number of the person you are calling.

NOTE: The automatic dialing prefix, saved in the CapTel menu for establishing an outside line, does not work during non-captioned calls. See Is a Number Required to Dial an Outside line? on page 20 for more details.

Answering a Call Without Captions

When your CapTel rings, the display lights up and flashes RING. Pick up the handset and begin speaking. The display remains blank and the Caption light remains off.
