TTY Use
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.
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.
When establishing your service, please call your service provider via
the state Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) by first dialing
866-727-4889.
To turn TTY mode on or off:
1.

Select Settings and press

Press

Note:
When you connect TTY devices, your phone will display the
mode. If TTY mode is enabled, the audio quality of non-TTY devices connected to
the headset jack may be impaired.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
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. This matter has been brought to the
attention of the FCC, and the wireless industry and PSAP community are
currently working to resolve this.
