Setting the Captions Button Default to On/Off
You can change the default setting of your CapTel 840 to always have the
Captions button set to ON or to always have the Captions button set to OFF.
Your CapTel 840 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: In 1-Line Mode, 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.
1-Line Mode: 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.
2-LINE MODE: Even if the Captions button is set to OFF, you can turn
captions on by pressing the CAPTIONS button at any time during the call.
NOTE: When the CAPTIONS button is off (red light around the button is off)
the maximum amplification level is not available.
