About Your New
Your new CapTel 880i is like any other telephone in many ways: it
connects to a telephone line, you talk and listen to your callers, and
you place/answer calls the same way you use any other telephone.
Your new CapTel 880i is also different than a traditional telephone
in some important ways.
In order to show captions, your CapTel 880i connects to the Internet
the same way you connect a computer to the Internet. The Internet
connection links to a free Captioning Service, where a specially-trained
operator transcribes everything your caller says into captions. The
captions are sent back over the Internet to your CapTel 880i phone, for
you to read in the display.
Because the CapTel 880i relies on the Internet to provide captions,
setting up the phone takes a few extra steps to make sure it is
connected to the Internet properly.
Action Needed – Registration
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires that all CapTel 880i
users register their CapTel phone. As you set up your new phone, please
follow registration directions on the screen. The Captions feature cannot be
activated until registration is complete.
