Captions (On/Off Setting)
You can change the default setting of CapTel to always have captions set to On or to always have captions set to Off, without needing to press the CAPTION button before each call.
Captions On
When the caption default is set to On, every outgoing call is automatically connected through the Captioning Service. The light above the CAPTION button remains lit. You will receive captions on every outgoing call, unless you first turn off the caption feature by pressing the CAPTION button. For information on turning captions on and off in
Captions Off
When the caption default is set to Off, outgoing calls are not automatically routed through the Captioning Service. The light above the CAPTION button remains off when you pick up the handset. If you want captions for your call, you must press the CAPTION button first to turn captions on before dialing the phone number of the person you are calling.
In either case, pressing the CAPTION button will override the default setting, letting you turn captions on or off each time you place a call – regardless of what the caption default is set to (see Caption Button on page 4).
To change the Captions (On/Off Setting):
1.With the handset hung up, press the MENU button repeatedly until Captions is displayed.
2.Press the button next to On or Off.
3.Press the button next to Exit.
NOTE: The caption default does not affect incoming calls. If an incoming call is placed through the Captioning Service, you will automatically receive captions throughout the call, even if the caption default is set to “Off”. Please see
