CAUTION! Do not plug the

other than a standard, analog telephone line or an analog
port. Connection to a digital telephone line may damage the
CapTel
or the telephone system and will void your warranty.

there is an inline analog filter between the phone jack and
the
CapTel

STEP 1 – Select a Location
The
CapTel
requires a standard (analog) telephone line like
those in most homes. If you are installing the
CapTel
in an
office setting, check with the telephone system administrator to
make sure you are using an analog port such as is used by some
computer modems, some fax machines, or a direct-connect text
telephone (TTY).
Set up the
CapTel
in a place where:
There is an electrical outlet nearby.
There is a phone jack nearby.
The surface it is set on, or mounted to, is stable and secure.
The area is protected from excessive heat or humidity.
