MENU SETTINGS

Captions (On/Off Setting)

You can change the default setting of 

CapTel

to always have

captions set to “On” or to always have captions set to “Off”,
without needing to press the 

button before each call.

Captions On

When the caption default is set to “On”, every outgoing call is
automatically connected through the Captioning Service. The
light above the 

button remains lit. You will receive

captions on every outgoing call, unless you first turn off the
caption feature by pressing the 

button.

Captions Off

When the caption default is set to “Off”, outgoing calls are not
automatically routed through the Captioning Service. The light
above the 

button remains off when you pick up the

handset. If you want captions for your call, you must press the

button first to turn captions on before dialing the phone

number of the person you are calling.

In either case, pressing the 

button will override the default

setting, letting you turn captions on or off each time you place 
a call – regardless of what the caption default is set to (see

Caption Button

on page 4).

To change the Captions (On/Off Setting):

1.

With the handset hung up, press the 

button until

Captions

is displayed.

2.

Press the button next to 

On

or 

Off

.

3.

Press the button next to 

Exit

.

NOTE: The caption default does not affect incoming calls.

If an incoming call is placed through the Captioning
Service, you will automatically receive captions throughout
the call, even if the caption default is set to “Off”.

Please

see 

Toll-Free Captioning Service Voice Number

on page 1 for

the number to give your callers.
