Make Captioned Calls
1. Pick up the handset OR press the Speakerphone button. If using the speakerphone,
the Speakerphone button will light up in green and a dial tone will sound.
2. If captions are set to turn on automatically, captions will begin once the call is
connected. If captions are not set to start automatically and you want captions
for your call, touch the “Turn On Captions” prompt that displays.
3. Dial the number you want to call using the keypad, Recent Calls list or Phonebook.
Your call will now be captioned.
