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.

The CapTel automatically connects the call to
the captioning service via the second line…
…which transcribes it into text that appears
on the
CapTel display.
