TTY Use With Handset

A TTY (also known as a TDD or Text Telephone), is a telecommunications device that allows people who are deaf or hard of hearing, or who have speech or language disabilities, to communicate by telephone.

Phone Basics 19

Your phone is compatible with selected 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.

Note: Not all service providers support TTY. Consult your service provider for more information.

To turn TTY Mode on or off:

1. Dial ##889 on your keypad and press . (A brief explanation of TTY

Mode will display.)

2. Press again to continue.

3. Press the navigation key up or down to select TTY On or TTY Off 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. The wireless industry and PSAP community are currently working to resolve this.
