The CapTel 800i connects to both your telephone service and to your Internet service. Every time you make a telephone call, the phone automatically connects to a free Captioning Service over the Internet. An operator at the Captioning Service uses voice recognition technology to generate captions of everything your caller says, and sends the captions back to your CapTel 800i phone.

You can enjoy conversations over the phone with the added help of written captions in case you miss anything.

NOTE: The CapTel 800i phone does not generate captions of the phone call on its own. The phone works with the Captioning Service (over the Internet) to display captions during your calls.

12 • GETTING STARTED Customer Service: 888-269-7477

Setting up Your CapTel 800i

For complete instructions, please see the Installation Guide.

Requirements

1. High-speed Internet access using a DSL or Digital Cable modem (must connect to an available Ethernet jack). Depending on your set-up, a Router may also be required to connect more than one device to your Internet service.

Telephone service (can be analog line, VOIP, FIOS, or Digital Cable phone service).

3. Standard electrical power (AC adapter plugs into standard wall outlet).

Select a location

Set up the CapTel 800i in a place where:

• There is a high-speed Internet (Ethernet) jack or your home router is located nearby.

• There is a telephone jack nearby (can be analog line, VOIP, FIOS, or Digital Cable phone service).

• There is an electrical outlet nearby.

• The surface it will be set on, or mounted to, is stable and secure.

• The area is protected from excessive heat or humidity.

NOTE: 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 800i. If your Internet access is located in a different room than where you plan to use the CapTel 800i, see the Installation Guide or contact CapTel Customer Service for help.

Customer Service: 888-269-7477 GETTING STARTED • 13

Connect to a power outlet

1. Plug the power adapter in the power socket labeled “Power” located on the back (top) edge of the CapTel 800i.

2. Plug the power adapter into a wall outlet or power strip. The CapTel display screen will light up to let you know power is connected.

TIP:

Plug your power adapter into an electrical power surge protector to protect your CapTel 800i from damage caused by unspecified electrical voltage or damage caused by lightning.

Connect to your telephone service

1. Plug one end of the telephone cord into the telephone jack labeled “Line 1” located on the back (top) edge of the CapTel 800i. (Use the telephone cord included with your new CapTel 800i phone.)

2. Plug the other end of the telephone cord into a telephone wall outlet.

• You should have a dial tone to indicate the telephone service is connected properly.

• Pick up the CapTel handset and listen for a dial tone. The Signal Meter in the lower right corner of the display screen shows when a dial tone is present (see page 24).

14 • GETTING STARTED Customer Service: 888-269-7477

Connect to your Internet service

1. Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet jack labeled “Ethernet” located on the back (top) edge of the CapTel 800i. (Use the Ethernet cable included with your new CapTel 800i phone.)

2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable into the jack you use for accessing your Internet service. Depending on how your Internet service is set up for your home/office, you could be plugging the Ethernet cable into any of the following:

• An available Ethernet jack on a router in your home

• An available Ethernet jack on a Digital Cable modem

• An available Ethernet jack on a DSL modem

• An available Ethernet wall jack

Example 1

All connection outlets (telephone, Ethernet, power) are available in the same room that you are planning to use the CapTel 800i.

Customer Service: 888-269-7477 GETTING STARTED • 15

Example 2

If there are no available Ethernet jacks in your DSL or Cable Modem, you will need a Router that lets you connect more than one device to the Internet. Connect the Router to your DSL or Cable Modem. Then connect the CapTel 800i to the Router (using the Ethernet cable).

NOTE: When connected properly, the orange LNK indicator light will glow. The LNK indicator light is located next to the Ethernet jack on the back (top) edge of the CapTel 800i. The green ACT indicator light may occasionally blink, or it may stay dark.

For complete set up instructions, please see the Installation Guide.

You can increase the volume of the person’s voice coming through the handset, up to a 40 dB gain from min/max on captioned calls. Watch the lights above the VOLUME bar to see what level the volume is set to.

To increase the volume (make sounds louder) during a call, press the right side of the VOLUME bar.

To decrease the volume (make sounds softer) during a call, press the left side of the VOLUME bar.

WARNING: The maximum volume setting on captioned calls is extremely loud. People who do not need amplification should not use the phone at its highest volume setting. The volume level automatically returns to a mid-range setting whenever the phone is hung up.

Knowing What Sounds Are on the Line

The display screen tells you what sounds are occurring during your call with two visual indicators: the Signal meter and the Outgoing Volume meter. These meters only appear during captioned calls.

The Signal Meter

This helpful meter lights up to indicate sounds on the handset, such as the caller’s voice or a busy signal. It shows whenever a sound is coming through the handset, even if the sound is not loud enough for you to hear. The size of this meter expands and contracts with the volume of the sound. Very loud sounds cause the meter to completely light up the whole box. Quiet sounds may cause just a single dot on the display to light up. This meter can help you gauge when a person is finished speaking or initially answers a call.

The Outgoing Volume Meter

This meter helps you see how loudly you are speaking. More of the bar lights up if you speak loudly. Less of the bar lights up if you speak quietly. You can use the volume meter to gauge the volume of your own voice during a call.

NOTE: If the Outgoing Volume Meter is filling completely or consistently turns red, you may be speaking too loudly.

Turning Captions On/Off During a Call

If you turn captions on in the middle of a call, there will be a brief delay as your CapTel 800i phone connects to the Captioning Service. Then, captions will begin. During this time, you may still talk/listen to the other party. You do not need to wait for captions to begin if you can hear the other party well enough to carry on the conversation. You can speak at any time even if captions are present.

Reviewing Captions During a Call

While on a call, press the UP button to scroll back through captions that appeared earlier in the conversation. You can continue talking or listening while you review captions. Everything the other party says will continue to be captioned, even while you are looking back at earlier captions.

When you are ready to return to the live conversation captions, press the NO button. Anything the other party said during the time you were reviewing captions will appear, and the live captions will continue as usual.

You can go back, again, at any time during the call to review what was said. Just press the UP arrow button.

Dialing 911 with Your CapTel 800i

With CapTel 800i, calls to 911 are handled exactly the same as if you called from any other phone connected to your telephone service, plus you get captions of the call directly from the CapTel Captioning Service. General instructions for dialing 911 are listed below. For detailed instructions about your phone service and 911, please check with your telephone service provider.

To Dial 911:

1. Pick up handset and dial 911. Your call will be directly connected to the local emergency center for your area.

2. Make sure the Caption button is on. If not, press the Caption button to turn the captions on. You will receive captions of everything the 911 call-taker says.

3. When 911 answers, state your emergency and confirm your location.

If you turn captions on in the middle of a call to 911, there will be a brief delay before the captions begin while the CapTel phone connects to the Captioning Service. During that time the 911 call-taker will be able to hear everything you say. If necessary, tell the 911 call-taker you are reading captions.

70 • PROBLEM SOLVING Customer Service: 888-269-7477

My CapTel 800i does not ring

Check that the RINGER switch is set to ON. Too many phones and/or computer modems in your home may exceed the

“ringer equivalence number” (REN) allotted by your telephone service. Contact your telephone service provider to verify that your service is adequate for the number of phones/devices you use.

I want to make captioned calls at work, but I don’t hear a dial tone when I pick up the handset.

If you need to dial a “9” or another number to get an outside line, then you must dial the “9” before placing your call. When programming a Speed Dial button, be sure to include the dialing prefix before the phone number.

What does “No Network Connection” prompt on my screen mean?

It means that the CapTel 800i is not able to send and receive data over the Internet. Check your connections again to confirm that you are connected to Internet service, and that your Internet service is working properly. If the problem persists, please contact CapTel Customer Service for help.

Can I use the Internet on my computer at the same time that I am on the CapTel 800i phone with captions?

Yes. At times, you may experience slightly slower captions. But there should be no major difficulty using both the Internet with your computer and using your CapTel phone at the same time.

Leaving messages on answering machines

You may begin leaving your message as soon as you see (BEEP) on the display screen or hear the recorded greeting end.

If you receive no further information, you may assume your message was recorded. If the answering machine is capable of confirming that a message was left, you will see the confirmation message on the CapTel display.

Problem Solving

Customer Service: 888-269-7477 PROBLEM SOLVING • 71

Using automated (touchtone) systems

With CapTel, you can easily navigate through automated phone menu systems (example: press “1” for sales, press “2” for shipping, etc.). You can press number buttons at anytime during a call to make selections. You do not need to wait for captions prior to pressing your selection. The captioning service continuously transcribes anything that is said over the phone, regardless of what you are saying or which buttons you press.

NOTE: Some automated systems have very short response times which may disconnect you. If this happens, simply hang up and try the call again.

Difficulty hearing over the CapTel 800i handset

• Try adjusting the volume setting by pressing the VOLUME bar. To increase the volume, press and hold the right side of the bar. Watch the status lights above the VOLUME bar to know what the setting is. See page 22.

• Try adjusting the TONE setting to enhance different frequency sounds. Press the TONE key to emphasize HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW frequency sounds. See page 23 for details.

Display screen seems to be “stuck” at Waiting for Captions status bar. Nothing seems to be happening.

• Press the CAPTIONS button off and then on again.

• Hang up your CapTel 800i phone and try to place the call again.

• If you are still experiencing the problem, unplug your CapTel 800i from the power adapter, wait 10 seconds, then plug the power back in again. This “resets” the CapTel 800i, in the same way you might “reset” your computer. Try making the call again.

• Try resetting the network connection by unplugging the CapTel AC adapter, then turning off the Router and the Internet modem. Wait a few seconds, then turn on the modem (make sure it’s fully reset, with lights going steady). Next, turn on the Router, making sure it is fully reset. Then plug in the CapTel 800i AC adapter, all in that order. Wait for the blue CapTel logo to appear. The Captions button should be lit.

• If the problem still persists, please contact CapTel Customer Service for help.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Cleaning

Never use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Unplug the CapTel and

wipe with a damp cloth. If necessary, use a small amount of mild soap such as dishwashing soap on the cloth.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using your CapTel, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons.

1. Read and understand all instructions.

2. Follow all warnings and instructions on the CapTel.

3. Unplug the CapTel from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

4. Do not use the CapTel near water, for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool.

5. Do not place the CapTel on an unstable cart, stand or table. The CapTel may fall, causing serious damage to the phone.

6. The CapTel should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your dealer or local power company.

7. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate the CapTel where people can walk on the cord.

8. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords. This overloading can result in a fire or electric shock.

9. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the CapTel, but take it to a qualified service person when service or repair work is required. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks.

Incorrect re-assembly can cause electric shock when the CapTel is subsequently used.

10. Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There is a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.

11. Pressing the button may subject the user to dangerous volume levels.

12. Unplug the CapTel from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

a. When the power supply cord or plug

is damaged or frayed.

b. If liquid has been spilled into the

telephone.

c. If the telephone has been exposed to

rain or water.

d. If the telephone does not operate

normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the telephone to normal operation.

e. If the telephone has been dropped

and/or damaged.

f. If the telephone exhibits a distinct

change in performance.

13. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.

76 • FCC INFORMATION Customer Service: 888-269-7477

FCC Information

The CapTel has been tested and found to comply with the specifications for a Class B digital device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the CapTel and the receiver.

• Connect the CapTel to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. A label is located on the underside of the CapTel containing, among other information, an FCC registration number, US:D8KMM06BCAPTEL800. If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone company.

A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See installation instructions for details.

The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices which may be connected to the telephone line. Excessive RENs on the line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all, areas the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company. The REN for this product is 0.6B.

For repair or warranty information, please contact CapTel Customer Service at 1-888-269-7477 (V/TTY). If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may request that you disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved.

This equipment cannot be used on public coin phone service provided by the telephone company. Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs.

If the CapTel causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But, if advance notice is not practical, the telephone company will notify you as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.

Occasionally, your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operation, or procedures that could affect the operation of your equipment. If so, you will be given advance notice of the change to give you an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted service.

If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the installation of the CapTel does not disable it. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.

The CapTel telephone does not have any user- serviceable parts. Modification or changes to the CapTel not expressly approved by Ultratec, Inc. can void your authority to operate the equipment.
