an outgoing call, turn on the feature by pressing the
button.
2. Pick up the handset. Dial the phone number of the person
you are calling (example: 555-1234). Remember to dial a
1 + area code if the number is long distance.
3. After a few seconds you will see
a message letting you know
that the Captioning Service is
being connected to your CapTel
phone. Once connected, the
Captioning Service dials the
person you are calling.
4. You may begin speaking as
soon as you hear the other
person answer or see the
Signal Meter flicker (see
Knowing What is Happening
on the Line on page 13).
NOTE: If the Caption feature is
off when you dial, the Captioning
Service will not be connected and you will not receive captions.
You cannot turn on captions manually in the middle of a call.
If you would like captions, hang up, turn on the Caption feature,
and place the call again.
