Setting up Your CapTel 840 PLUS
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 PLUS 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 PLUS.
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 PLUS from damage caused by unspecified electrical voltage or lightning.
CAUTION! USE ONLY THE ADAPTER THAT CAME WITH YOUR CAPTEL 840 PLUS.
USING ANY OTHER AC ADAPTER MAY DAMAGE THE CAPTEL AND VOID THE WARRANTY.
