Captioning External Answering
Machine Messages
If you call a phone number to access your voice mail messages, CapTel will caption the messages for you (see Retrieving Your Voice Mail Messages on page 25). You can also use CapTel to receive captions of voice messages left on an answering machine that is near your CapTel phone by playing the messages aloud.
1.With the handset hung up, press the MENU button repeatedly until
Caption External Answering Machine Messages is displayed.
2.Press the button next to OK.
3.Pick up the CapTel handset, and place the handset mouthpiece next to the answering machine speaker. Make sure the handset mouthpiece is close enough to “hear” the messages as they are played aloud.
4.In this mode, CapTel will automatically dial the captioning service. Watch the display to see when a connection is established.
5.Start playing the voice messages aloud on your external answering machine. Watch the CapTel display to see captions of the
voice messages.
Save or delete voice messages directly on the answering machine. When you are finished, hang up the CapTel handset. The Caption External Answering Machine Messages feature will go off automatically.
