HOW 2-LINE C AP T EL WORKS
REQUIREMENTS FOR 2-LINE C AP T EL
Using 2-Line CapTel requires two separate telephone lines.
• Each telephone line needs its own separate telephone number (not
just an extension or one line that supports two numbers).
• One of the lines m
ust be analog, the same type of telephone line that
is used by a standard telephone (or DSL with DSL filter). The other
line can be any type: analog, DSL, VOIP, etc.
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: Please use the phone cord provided with the CapTel phone or
use a similar phone cord. 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 DSL filter.
