CapTel
users do not need to say “GA” or “SK” (“Go Ahead” or
“Stop Keying”). This is optional.
To make more than one call in a row, hang up and dial the next
telephone number just as you would with any other non-relay call.
Special Setup Instructions
Connecting an External Signaler
To use an optional signal light, plug a signaler
(sold separately) into an unused telephone
extension jack. If you have only the one jack
that is being used by the
CapTel
, you can use a
“Y-jack” (also called a “duplex jack”). Plug both
the
CapTel
and the signaler into the Y-jack and
plug the Y-jack in at the wall. You can purchase
a Y-jack at any store that sells telephones.
NOTE: Do not use the second telephone jack on the bottom of
the
CapTel
with an external signaler or second device. It is not
designed for that purpose.
Sharing a Telephone Line Jack
If your telephone line jack is already being used by a TTY or
answering machine, you can use a “Y-jack” (also called a “duplex
jack”) to connect the
CapTel
to the phone line. Plug both the
CapTel
and the other device into the Y-jack and plug the Y-jack
in at the wall (see the illustration, above). You can purchase a
Y-jack at any store that sells telephone equipment.
NOTE: The second telephone jack on the bottom of the
CapTel
cannot be used as a Y-jack or as an extension. It is not designed
for that purpose.
Using a Headset or Neckloop
Remove the audio jack cover (marked with
and
symbols)
on the bottom front edge of the
CapTel
phone. Then, plug a
headset, neckloop, or other assistive device into the appropriate
2.5mm or 3.5mm jack.
