TTY Settings
A TTY (also known as a TDD or Text Telephone) is a
telecommunications phone 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 cell
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.
To turn TTY Mode on or off:
1. Press MENU ➔ Tools + Settings ➔ Settings ➔
Others ➔ TTY Options. An informal message
displays.
2. Press DONE.
3. Select TTY Off to turn TTY mode off.
– or –
Touch any of the following to enable the
feature: TTY Full, TTY + Talk, or TTY + Hear.
To access the state Telecommunications Relay Service
(TRS) for assistance with TTY calls:
ᮣ Dial 711, press and press to
reach an operator.
Caution!: 911 Emergency Calling - it is recommended 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 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.
