Receiving a Call

Standard Voice Call
When an incoming call is received the telephone rings and the strobe light
will flash (if set to flash). If the caller can be identified (due to subscription
to a Caller Display service), the caller's telephone number will be
displayed.
Lift the handset and speak
To end the call simply replace the handset in the cradle
Combination of Voice and Text call
If a hearing person wishes to call a ScreenPhone user they would dial
18002 followed by the full telephone number. Once the call is answered by
a Textphone, a Typetalk Operator will join the line to relay the call.
Please follow the instructions below to receive a combination of voice and
text call.
Note: For further information re using Typetalk services for hearing users,

NOTE:
The SCREENPHONE is not capable of determining the difference
between an incoming standard call and a Text call. Therefore the
telephone cannot indicate if it is a voice or text call on the screen, with
the ringer or the strobe. This is because the telephone network masks
all text calls and voice calls to look the same to eliminate any possible
discrimination.
