Setting Up 2-Line CapTel in the Workplace
The procedure for setting up CapTel in an office is very similar to the way you set it up in a residential setting. However, many office telephone systems require a “dialing prefix”? generally an “8″ or “9″ ? to reach an “outside” line. Most systems also require a comma added after the number, which represents a 2 second delay before dialing. This number must be programmed into the CapTel in order to connect properly.
NOTE: The programmed prefix only affects captioned calls. You?ll have to manually dial the “9″ first if you are making a call without captions. With 2-Line CapTel, you’ll need to manually dial the “9″ before all outgoing calls.
If you bring your CapTel phone from the office to home or to a different location, remember to remove the dialing prefix!
