Setting the Captions Button Default to On/Off
You can change the default setting of your CapTel 840 PLUS to always have
the Captions button set to ON or to always have the Captions button set to
OFF. Your CapTel 840 PLUS comes with the Captions button set to ON.
Captions Button – On
When the Captions button is set to ON, every outgoing call is
automatically connected to the Captioning Service. The light
around the CAPTIONS button remains lit. You will receive
captions on every outgoing call.
NOTE: The Captions button does not affect incoming calls. If an incoming call
is placed through the Captioning Service, you will automatically receive
captions throughout the call, even if the Captions button default is set to “Off”.
Please see Toll-Free Captioning Service Voice Number on page 1 for the number
to give your callers. If your caller does not dial through the Captioning Service,
you will not receive captions during the call. The light around the CAPTIONS
button will remain off.
Captions Button – Off
When the Captions Button is set to OFF, outgoing calls are not
automatically
connected to the Captioning Service. The light around
the CAPTIONS
button stays off. Calls are treated exactly like any
regular telephone call, with you and the other party talking over
the telephone line and no captions involved.
If captions are off at the beginning of a call, you will not receive
captions throughout the call. You cannot turn captions on/off
during a call.
NOTE: When the CAPTIONS button is off (red light around the button is off)
the maximum amplification level is not available.
