CONGRATULATIONS

Congratulations! Your CapTel phone is equipped for 2-line capabilities,
which will allow you to receive captions on every call, at any time in the
call. With 2-line CapTel enabled you can:

• Receive captions on all incoming calls. (Your caller dials you
directly, instead of placing the call through the captioning service.)

• Turn captions on at any point during a conversation.

• Give your callers one telephone number. (There is no separate
captioning service number for callers to remember.)

• Get full captioning for every type of call, including emergency calls
and calls through relay.

• Share a call without interrupting captions. (Others can pick up an
extension line.)

• Benefit from the call-waiting feature without interrupting captions.

NOTE: Using CapTel in 2-line mode is optional, and requires a second
analog telephone line. This CapTel phone also operates normally
with just one telephone line, as described in the user manual. When
operating with one telephone line, the above features do not apply.

REQUIREMENTS FOR 2-LINE

CAPT

EL

Using 2-line CapTel requires two analog telephone lines in your home
or office.

• Two separate telephone lines, each with its own separate telephone
number (not just an extension or one line that supports two numbers).

• Both lines must be analog, the same type of telephone line that is
used by a standard telephone.

If you do not already have a second telephone line, arrangements for a
second line should be made with your local telephone service provider. The
second line can be very basic, no special features or services are needed
(such as Caller-ID, long distance, or call-waiting). Charges may apply.

NOTE: Digital telephone lines are not compatible with the CapTel
phone and may damage the telephone. If you are installing the CapTel
in an office setting, check with the telephone system administrator to
ensure an analog port is available. A Digital Subscriber Line (DSL)
may be used with an appropriate analog filter.
