Emergency Dialing Instructions:
With CapTel 840i, calls to 111 are handled exactly the same as if you called
from any other phone connected to your telephone service, plus you get
captions of the call directly from the CapTel aptioning Service (during
aptioning Service operating hours). General instructions for dialing 111
are listed below. For detailed instructions about
your phone service and
111, please check with your telephone service provider.
To Dial 111:
1. Pick up handset and dial 111. Your call will be directly connected to the
Initial all Answering Platform to extend to the relevant Emergency
Service Organisation for your local area.
2. Make sure the aption button is on. If not, press the aption button to
turn the captions on. During aptioning Service hours, you will receive
captions of everything the 111 Emergency Service Operator says.
3. When 111 answers, state your emergency and confirm your location.
If you turn captions on in the middle of a call to 111, there will be a brief
delay before the captions begin while the CapTel phone connects to the
aptioning Service. During that time the 111 Emergency Service Operator
will be able to hear everything you say. If necessary, tell the 111 operator
you are reading captions.
IMPORTANT NOTI E: Under power failure conditions, this telephone does
not operate. Please ensure that a separate telephone, not dependent on local
power, is available for emergency use.

The CapTel 840i connects to both your telephone service and to
your Internet service. Every time you make a telephone call, the
phone uses the Internet connection to access a free aptioning
Service. An operator at the aptioning Service uses voice
recognition technology to generate captions of everything your
caller says, and sends the captions back to your CapTel 840i phone.
You can enjoy conversations over the phone with the added help
of written captions in case you miss anything.
NOTE: The CapTel 840i phone does not generate captions of the
phone call on its own. The phone works with the Captioning Service
(over the Internet) to display captions during your calls.

10. FLASH (Recall) Button
Some telephone service features like all Waiting require a “hook
flash” or Recall. The hook flash is a very brief interruption of the
connection like hanging up the phone for one second. There is a
brief click or silence on the line.
The Recall facility of CapTel 840i may not always operate correctly
on some parts of the Telecom network or on some PABXs available
on the market. If this is the case, then “Recall” can be activated by
“flashing” the switch-hook or repeat use of the FLASH button.
11. MUTE Button
Silences the sound from your end of the conversation. When the
MUTE button is pressed (red light around the button is ON), the
person on the other end of your call will not be able to hear you.
You will still be able to hear the caller and get captions of
everything they say. To turn the Mute feature off, press the MUTE
button again (red light around the button is OFF).
