TTY Mode

A TTY (teletypewriter, also known as a TDD or Text Telephone) is a telecommunications device that allows people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or who have speech or language disabilities, to communicate by telephone.
Your phone is compatible with select TTY devices. Please check with the manufacturer of your TTY device to ensure that it supports digital wireless transmission. Your phone and TTY device
will connect using a special cable that plugs into your phone’s audio jack. If this cable was not
provided with your TTY device, contact your TTY device manufacturer to purchase the connector cable.

It is recommended that TTY users make emergency calls by other means, including Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS), analog cellular, and landline communications. Wireless TTY calls to 911 may be corrupted when received by public safety answering points (PSAPs), rendering some communications unintelligible. The problem encountered appears related to TTY equipment or software used by PSAPs.

Web and Data

Your phone’s data capabilities let you wirelessly access the Internet or your corporate network
through a variety of connections, including Wi-Fi, 4G LTE, EDGE, GPRS, and Virtual Private Networks (VPN).
The following topics address your phone’s data connections and the built-in Web browser. Additional data-related features can be found in Accounts and Messaging, Apps and
Entertainment, and Tools and Calendar.

Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi provides wireless Internet access. To use your phone’s Wi-Fi, you need access to a wireless access point or “hotspot.”
The availability and range of the Wi-Fi signal depends on a number of factors, including infrastructure and other objects through which the signal passes.

Turn Wi-Fi On and Connect to a Wireless Network

Use the Wireless & networks setting menu to enable your phone’s Wi-Fi radio and connect to an available Wi-Fi network.
1. From the Home screen, tap
2. Tap the ON/OFF switch to turn Wi-Fi on. The network names of detected Wi-Fi networks are displayed.
3. Tap a Wi-Fi network to connect. If you selected an open network, you will be automatically connected to the network. If you selected a network that is secured with a password, enter the password and then tap CONNECT.
Depending on the network type and its security settings, you may also need to enter more information or choose a security certificate.
When your phone is connected to a wireless network, the Wi-Fi icon appears in the status bar and tells you the approximate signal strength. (The above icon indicates maximum signal
strength.) If Network notification in Advanced Wi-Fi settings is enabled, the open network icon appears
in the status bar whenever the phone detects an available open wireless network within range.
Note:
The next time your phone connects to a previously accessed secured wireless network, you will not be prompted to enter the password again, unless you reset your phone to its factory default settings or you instruct the phone to forget the network.

Note:
Wi-Fi networks are self-discoverable, which means no additional steps are required for your phone to connect to a Wi-Fi network. It may be necessary to provide a user name and password for certain closed wireless networks.

Check the status of your current wireless network, including speed and signal strength, through the Wi-Fi settings menu.
1. From the Home screen, tap
2. Tap the wireless network that the phone is currently connected to. You will see a message box showing the Wi-Fi network name, status, signal strength, speed, and other details.

Data Services

The following topics will help you learn the basics of using your data services, including managing your user name, launching a data connection, and navigating the Web with your phone.
Important:

Data Connection Status and Indicators

Your phone displays the current status of your data connection through indicators at the top of the screen. The following symbols are used:
Web and Data 74
Certain data services requests may require additional time to process. While your phone is loading the requested service, the touchscreen may appear unresponsive when in fact they are functioning properly. Allow the phone some time to process your data usage request.

When the arrows are animated, your phone is transferring data (for example, when you are opening a Web page); when the arrows are gray, your phone is connected to the network but is not currently transferring data (for example, when you are viewing a Web page that is completely open). In either state, you can receive incoming calls.
If you do not see an indicator, your phone does not have a current data connection.

Virtual Private Networks (VPN)

From your phone, you can add, set up, and manage virtual private networks (VPNs) that allow you to connect and access resources inside a secured local network, such as your corporate network.

Prepare Your Phone for VPN Connection

Depending on the type of VPN you are using at work, you may be required to enter your login credentials or install security certificates before you can connect to your company’s local network. You can get this information from your network administrator.
Before you can initiate a VPN connection, your phone must first establish a Wi-Fi or data connection. For information about setting up and using these connections on your phone, see
Turn Wi-Fi On and Connect to a Wireless Network.

Install Security Certificates

Your network administrator may instruct you to download and install security certificates to connect to the network.
1. Download and install the certificates needed to access your local network into a microSD card. Your network administrator can tell you how to do this.
2. Insert the microSD card into your phone. See Insert or Remove a microSD Card.
