Why is the light on my phone flashing?2023-11-09T21:50:18+00:00

Your caption phone has a built-in light bar located at the top of the phone. This flashing light will help you stay connected by notifying you of incoming phone calls and new voicemails.

The bar will light up when you are receiving a call as a visual cue in case you don’t hear it ring. It will stop flashing and stay lit up when you answer the phone.

When you have a missed call or a new voicemail, the light will flash, and a small red dot will appear above the Voicemail icon. Once you listen to your new voicemail(s), the flashing will stop.

How do I reboot or reconnect my phone?2026-09-18T15:35:39+00:00

If you are having trouble receiving captions on your phone or have recently lost power/internet connection, you may need to reboot your ClearCaptions Phone.

Simply locate the red button on the back of your phone, press and hold it for three seconds, then release.

Your phone will then reboot and be ready to deliver accurate captions again. If you need extra help after an outage, the ClearCaptions Support Team is available at 866-868-8695.
