As you set up your new CapTel phone, be sure to follow the directions on
the display screen for registering your phone. Per a recent ruling by the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the Captions feature cannot
be activated until your phone is registered.
This requirement is part of the FCC’s eff ort to ensure the captioning service
is used as intended by people who truly need the service.

About Your New
CapTel 2400iBT
Your new CapTel 2400iBT is like any other telephone in many ways:
it connects to a telephone line, you talk and listen to your callers, and
you place/answer calls the same way you use any other telephone.
Your new CapTel 2400iBT is also diff erent than a traditional telephone
in some important ways.
In order to show captions, your CapTel 2400iBT connects to the
Internet the same way you connect a computer to the Internet.
The Internet connection links to a free Captioning Service, where a
specially-trained operator transcribes everything your caller says into
captions. The captions are sent back over the Internet connection to
your CapTel 2400iBT phone, for you to read in the display.
Because the CapTel 2400iBT relies on the Internet to provide captions,
setting up the phone takes a few extra steps to make sure it is
connected to the Internet properly.

Setting up Your CapTel 2400iBT
For complete instructions, please see the Setup Guide.
Requirements
1. High-speed Internet access. Your CapTel 2400iBT can connect to your
Internet service either with an Ethernet cable or through a wireless (WiFi)
network. Depending on your Internet setup, a router may also be
required to allow you to connect more than one device to your
Internet service.

lter, VOIP, ber optic, or Digital Cable phone service).
• There is an electrical outlet nearby.
• The surface it will be set on is stable and secure.
• The area is protected from excessive heat or humidity.
The outlets for power, the phone line, and the Ethernet connection should all
be located nearby, as each cord needs to plug into your CapTel 2400iBT.
If your Internet access is located in a di erent room than where you plan
NOTE
to use the CapTel 2400iBT, a WiFi setup is recommended.
