Setting Up the Wireless Network Feature

As described in the Setup Guide, the CaptionCall phone can be connected
to your broadband modem or router using the Ethernet cable that was
packed with the phone. If you use the Ethernet cable to connect the
phone, you will not need to use the wireless network feature.
However, if you would like the CaptionCall phone to connect to a wireless
router (using the 802.11b/g/n protocols), you will have to turn on and
configure the wireless feature as described below.
To turn on and configure the wireless feature, follow these steps:
Step 1: Set up the phone, but do not connect the Ethernet cable.
First follow the steps in the Setup Guide to connect the CaptionCall phone
to a standard telephone line and to a power outlet. You will not need to
connect the provided Ethernet cable to the phone.
When the phone first starts up, a message will appear on the display saying
that a "Network Problem" has been detected. To proceed, simply close the
message window. You will fix this network problem next by configuring a
wireless connection to your modem or router.
