TTY Use

A TTY (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 is

compatible with digital wireless phones. Your phone and TTY
device will connect via a special cable that plugs into your phone’s
headset jack. If this cable was not provided with your TTY device,
contact your TTY device manufacturer to purchase the connector
cable.

When establishing your wireless service, please call your service
provider via the state Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) by
first dialing

.

For additional technical support you may call 1-888-987-4357,
or access the following website:

consumer/learningresources/mobile/accessibility/
pop_accessibility.html.

http://www.samsung.com/us/

To turn TTY Mode on or off:

1. Press > Settings > More... > Accessibility > TTY

Options. (An informational message will be displayed.)

2. Read the informational message and press .

WARNING

Note

911 Emergency Calling

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 software
used by PSAPs. This matter has been brought to
the attention of the FCC, and the wireless industry
and the PSAP community are currently working to
resolve this.

In TTY Mode, your phone will display the TTY access icon.

When enabled, TTY mode may impair the audio quality of
non-TTY devices connected to the headset jack.
