Welcome to your new CaptionCall® phone. This phone features a large, easy-to­read screen that displays written captions of what callers say to reinforce anything you might miss. The CaptionCall phone is also amplified, allowing you to increase the decibels to a level you are comfortable hearing.
How CaptionCall Works
Similar to captioned television, but only available to people with hearing loss, CaptionCall uses advanced technology and a Communications Assistant to quickly provide written captions of what callers say on a large, easy-to-read screen. It works like a regular telephone: simply dial and answer calls as usual and speak and listen using a phone handset like always.
Phone Features
Your CaptionCall phone combines regular telephone features with a touch­screen display. The touchscreen display is a unique and powerful feature of the CaptionCall phone. The most important use of the display is to show the text of your captioned telephone calls. Other uses for the display are:
Welcome
• To show you a list of your recent calls
• To allow you to create and manage a list of contacts
• To display your saved calls
• To caption your voicemail and/or answering machine messages
• To allow you to change the phone’s settings
• To display built-in help text for the current screen
The CaptionCall phone also features manual controls for turning on and off captions, speakerphone, volume control, and a large, back-lit keypad.
