TTY Use With Handset
A TTY (also known as a TDD or Text Telephone), is a telecommunications device
that allows people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or 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 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.
To turn TTY Mode on or off:
1. Press for Menu.
2. Press for Settings.
3. Press for More.
4. Press for Accessibility.
5. Press for TTY. (A brief explanation of TTY will display.)
6. Press again to continue.
7. Press the navigation key up or down to select TTY Off or TTY On and
press to save and exit.
Note: In TTY Mode when your headset is plugged in, your phone will display the
TTY access icon. If TTY mode is enabled, the headset cannot be used.
IMPORTANT 911 Emergency Calling: We recommend that TTY users make
emergency calls by other means, including Telecommunications Relay Services
(TRS), analog cellular, and land line 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. This matter has been
brought to the attention of the FCC, and the wireless industry and PSAP community
are currently working to resolve it.

Safety
Getting the Most Out of Your Reception
Keeping Tabs on Signal Strength
The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the signal strength in your
area. Your phone informs you of the current signal strength by displaying a
number of bars next to the signal strength icon. The more bars displayed, the
stronger the signal. If you’re inside a building, being near a window may give you
better reception.
Understanding the Power Save Feature
If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching, a Power Save
feature is automatically activated. If your phone is active, it periodically rechecks
service availability or you can check it yourself by pressing any key. Anytime the
Power Save feature is activated, a message displays on the screen. When a signal
is found, your phone returns to standby mode.
Understanding How Your Phone Operates
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s turned on, it
receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) signals. When you use your phone, the
system handling your call controls the power level. This power can range from
0.006 watts to 0.2 watts in digital mode.
Knowing Radio Frequency Safety
The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP standards described
below. In 1991-92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and
the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI’s 1982
standard for safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF signals. More than
120 scientists, engineers and physicians from universities, government health
agencies, and industries developed this updated standard after reviewing the
available body of research. In 1993, the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) adopted this updated standard in a regulation. In August 1996, the FCC
adopted a hybrid standard consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the
guidelines published by the National Council of Radiation Protection and
Measurements (NCRP).

Maintaining Your Phone’s Peak Performance
There are several simple guidelines for operating your phone properly and
maintaining safe, satisfactory service.
• Hold the phone with the antenna raised, fully-extended, and over your
shoulder.
• Try not to hold, bend, or twist the phone’s antenna.
• Don’t use the phone if the antenna is damaged.
• Speak directly into the mouthpiece.
• Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid spills. If your
phone does get wet, immediately turn the power off and remove the
battery. If it’s inoperable, return it to a dealer store or call Customer
Support for service.
Note: For the best care of your phone, only authorized personnel should service
your phone and accessories. Faulty service may void the warranty.
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Phone
Failure to follow the instructions outlined may lead to serious personal injury and
possible property damage.
Using Your Phone While Driving
Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone without a hands-free
device) is prohibited in some jurisdictions. Laws vary as to specific restrictions.
Remember that safety always comes first.
When using your phone in the car:
• Get to know your phone and its features, such as speed dial and re-dial.
• When available, use a hands-free device.
• Position your phone within easy reach.
• Let the person you are speaking to know you are driving. If necessary,
suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions.
• Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.
• Dial sensibly and assess the traffic. If possible, place calls when stationary
or before pulling into traffic.
• Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may divert your
attention from the road.
• Dial 911 to report serious emergencies. It’s free from your wireless phone.
Safety 92
Safety
Page 100
• Use your phone to help others in emergencies.
• Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless number when
necessary.
Following Safety Guidelines
To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow any special regulations
in a given area. Turn your phone off in areas where use is forbidden or when it may
cause interference or danger.
Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals.
However, RF signals from wireless phones may affect inadequately shielded
electronic equipment.
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic
operating systems and/or entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with the
manufacturer or their representative to determine if these systems are adequately
shielded from external RF signals. Also check with the manufacturer regarding any
equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as pacemakers
and hearing aids, to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF
signals.
Note: Always turn off the phone in health care facilities and request permission
before using the phone near medical equipment.
Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying
Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent possible interference
with aircraft systems, U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations
require you to have permission from a crew member to use your phone while the
plane is on the ground. To prevent any risk of interference, FCC regulations prohibit
using your phone while the plane is in the air.
Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn off your phone when in a
blasting area or in other areas with signs indicating that two-way radios should be
turned off. Construction crews often use remote-control RF devices to set off
explosives.
