Setting up Your
CapTel
840
Requirements
1. Analog telephone line(s) or DSL service with filter.
NOTE:
CapTel is not compatible with PBX office systems unless an analog
port is available.
2. Standard electrical power (AC adapter plugs into standard wall outlet).
STEP 1 – Select a location
Set up the
CapTel
840 in a place where:
• There is a telephone jack nearby (must be an analog line or DSL
service with a filter).
• There is an electrical outlet nearby.
• The surface it will be set on, or mounted to, is stable and secure.
• The area is protected from excessive heat or humidity.
STEP 2 – Connect to a power outlet
1. Plug the power adapter in the power socket labeled “Power”
located on the back (top) edge of the
CapTel
840.
2. Plug the power adapter into a wall outlet or power strip. The
CapTel
display screen will light up to let you know power is connected.
TIP:
Plug your power adapter into an electrical power surge protector to protect
your CapTel 840 from damage caused by unspecified electrical voltage or lightning.
2-LINE MODE:
To use
CapTel
in 2-Line Mode, a second analog telephone line,
complete with its own separate telephone number and wall jack, is required.
The second line cannot be just an extension line. Both lines need to be able
to be in use at the same time. The second line can be very basic; it does not
need additional services like long distance or Call Waiting.
CAUTION! USE ONLY THE ADAPTER THAT CAME WITH YOUR
CAPTEL
840.
USING ANY OTHER AC ADAPTER MAY DAMAGE THE
CAPTEL
AND VOID THE WARRANTY.
