  • Incoming callers dial the service first, then enter your phone number in order for you to get captions.*
  • Adjustable font sizes and colors.
  • Phone book to store frequently called numbers (95+ names).
  • Easy access to voice mail and answering machine messages.
  • Works just like a standard phone for people who do not need captions.

* If used in 2-Line Mode (optional), callers can dial your phone number directly.

Requirements

  • Analog telephone line(s). DSL supported if appropriate filter in place. Not compatible with PBX systems unless analog port available. Not designed for use with digital cable or VOIP telephone services.**
  • Standard electrical power (AC adapter plugs into standard wall outlet).
