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 cellular telephones, these TTY audio tones may be unintentionally distorted while being transmitted through cellular telephones. In order for TTY devices to continue to work in cellular networks, the cellular telephone must be set into a mode that optimizes the compression codec to handle TTY tones instead of the human voice.

NOTE: For information on connecting TTY devices to the HP iPAQ, refer to the TTY device manufacturer’s documentation.
