The handset volume is not loud enough for me.

handset. Press the
slide to make sure it is set to the level that is best for you (see
TONE
Adjusting the Sound on page 11).
You may notice a decrease in volume when another phone on an
extension of the same line is also off hook. You should not use another
extension during a captioned telephone call, as it can disrupt the captions.
I hear my own voice echoing on the line.
Try holding the handset mouthpiece slightly away from your face and
mouth. Make sure that the handset earpiece is held closely to your ear.
Callers say that they hear their own voice echoing on the line.
The CapTel handset mouthpiece may "pick up" the amplified sounds
coming out of its own earpiece. This sometimes causes an echo effect.
To minimize its occurrence:
• Hold the handset earpiece close to your ear during your conversations.
Make sure the mouthpiece is not too close to your mouth or touching
your face.
• Press the VOL boost button to ON, then adjust the volume slide control
to a comfortable setting.
• Use a headset, neckloop, or cochlear implant patch cord with the
CapTel by plugging it into the appropriate 3.5mm or 2.5mm audio jack
(see Using CapTel with Assistive Devices on page 13).
I plugged another device into the extra phone jack on the bottom
of the CapTel and it isn't working.
The second phone jack on the CapTel phone is not designed to be used as
an extension or a Y-jack, nor with other telecommunication devices such as
answering machines, fax machines,TTYs, or signalers. Please use a Y-jack
instead (see Special Setup Instructions on page 36).
