TTY Mode
A TTY (teletypewriter, 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 supports digital wireless transmission. Your phone and TTY
device will connect using a special cable that plugs into your phone's audio jack. If this cable
was not provided with your TTY device, contact your TTY device manufacturer to purchase
the connector cable.

Warning:
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
TTY equipment or 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.
