    1. Using the\u00a0Canada VRS <\/strong>app, the Deaf customer dials the phone number of the hearing person they want to reach.<\/li>
    2. Based on the language settings of the Deaf customer, the call is answered by either an ASL or LSQ\u00a0Canada VRS\u00a0<\/strong>Video Interpreter (VI).<\/li>
    3. The VI will give a short greeting. If there are any special considerations for the call, this is a good time to explain them. For instance, if it is a conference call with multiple participants, a call to a business that has a long phone tree or to a specialist such as a doctor or lawyer. Note that an explanation is not a requirement. It is up to the Deaf customer to decide if it would be helpful to provide an explanation.<\/li>
    4. Once the outgoing call to the hearing person is initiated, the VI will let the Deaf customer know what is going on, for instance \u201cringing\u201d, \u201canswered\u201d or \u201cvoicemail prompt\u201d. Once the hearing person answers, the VI will let them know that a Deaf person is calling, and will provide the name of the Deaf caller. If it is a first time call, the VI will explain how a\u00a0Canada VRS\u00a0<\/strong>call works.<\/li>
    5. Using spoken language, the VI will interpret the Deaf customer\u2019s sign language for the hearing caller. Using sign language, the VI will interpret what the hearing caller is saying for the Deaf customer. Note: Voice Carry Over (VCO) customers will need to ensure their settings allow for VCO. If VCO is not working, let the VI know, as they may need to make a setting adjustment.<\/li>
    6. When the call is finished, either the Deaf customer or hearing person will hang up. The Deaf customer can stay connected and make another call with the same interpreter.<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>

      1. The hearing person, using any kind of telephone, dials the Deaf person\u2019s\u00a0Canada VRS\u00a0<\/strong>10-digit telephone number.<\/li>
      2. Based on the language settings of the Deaf customer, the call is answered by either an ASL or LSQ\u00a0Canada VRS\u00a0<\/strong>Video Interpreter (VI).<\/li>
      3. The VI will give a short greeting. When the calling party is ready, the call is put through.<\/li>
      4. The VI dials the number of the Deaf customer. As long as the Deaf customer has their device turned on and is logged into Canada VRS<\/strong>, the app will signal that there is an incoming call. The \u201cringing\u201d behaviour will depend on the device being used and the user settings.<\/li>
      5. Once the Deaf person has answered, the VI will introduce the hearing caller using sign language.<\/li>
      6. If there is no answer, the calling party may elect to leave a Video Mail message which will be interpreted by the VI.<\/li>
      7. Using spoken language, the VI interprets the Deaf customer for the hearing caller. Using sign language, the VI interprets what the hearing caller is saying for the Deaf customer.<\/li>
      8. At the end of the call, the hearing caller can choose to make another call with the same interpreter to another Deaf customer, or disconnect from the session.<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>
