Visit your mobile phone service provider's Web site to see if their service is available where you are traveling.

Add Tele-typewriter (TTY) functionality

Add TTY functionality for people who are hearing impaired or hard-of-hearing

HP iPAQ products support Tele-typewriter (TTY) functionality, which allows people who are hearing impaired or with hearing limitations to communicate using existing telephony infrastructure, including cell phones. To achieve this, separately purchased TTY devices must be connected to the telephones on both ends of a telephone call session, and the HP iPAQ must be configured for TTY use. The sending TTY device generates a distinct audio tone for every supported character, and these tones are decoded and converted back into text on the receiving TTY device.

Due to the use of audio compression codecs in modern digital cell phones, these TTY audio tones might be unintentionally distorted while being transmitted through cell phones. Therefore, in order for TTY devices to continue to work in cellular networks, the cell phone must be set into a mode that optimizes the compression codec to handle TTY tones instead of the human voice.

To use TTY with the HP iPAQ, an optional TTY audio adapter must be plugged into the HP iPAQ headset connector. This TTY audio adapter converts the pin-out of the headset connector, which is designed for a wired ear bud and stereo headphones, to the pin-out required by most TTY devices.
