MAKING AND ANSWERING CALLS
Customer Service: 888-269-7477
To dial 911 for assistance:
1. Pick up the handset and dial 911 on the keypad.
2. The light around the CAPTIONS
button will go off. Watch the
screen for instructions.
3. When the 911 call-taker
answers, you may hear them
or see the Signal Meter flicker.
Talk directly to the 911
call-taker through the
CapTel
handset as you
would with any other call.
4. If you need captions from 911,
press the
YES
button.
This puts your
CapTel
phone
into VCO (or Voice Carry Over)
mode. VCO allows you to speak
directly to the 911 call-taker
and read their typed
instructions.
5. Your
CapTel
phone sends a
text message that tells 911
personnel that you need
captions.
