Using VCO to call a TTY User
VCO stands for Voice Carry Over, a service common in traditional relay
services in which callers speak for themselves and read typed responses. If
you dial 711 to call a TTY user through Relay, your
CapTel
phone will
automatically convert to VCO mode. This allows the Relay Operator to type
messages directly to your
CapTel
display screen.
When placing a call through Relay, tell the Relay Operator that you want to
use VCO. Then, everything the TTY user types will appear as typed messages
on your display screen. You speak back to the TTY user via the Relay Operator
and through the
CapTel
handset, taking turns reading and speaking. When
the call is completed, press the Captions button to drop out of VCO mode.
You can also turn VCO mode on/off in the Captions Settings menu.

840 PLUS software. Your phone
