Welcome to the CaptionCall
®
phone. This
phone features a large, easy-to-read 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 Captioning Agent 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 or speakerphone.
Phone Features
The 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:
• To show you a list of your recent and missed 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
The CaptionCall phone also features a speakerphone, Voice Messages button,
volume control and a large, lighted keypad.
