Enabling TTY

TTY (also known as a TDD or Text Telephone) is a telecommunications device that enables you to communicate by telephone if you are deaf, hard of hearing, or have speech or language disabilities.

Your device is compatible with select TTY devices. You can connect a TTY/TDD machine to your device through the headset jack while this mode is enabled. Please check with the manufacturer of your TTY device for connectivity information and to ensure that the TTY device supports digital wireless transmission.

Turning on the HAC Setting

CAUTION Do not turn on the Hearing Aid Compatibility setting unless you use a hearing aid with a telecoil. Using this setting without a hearing aid or with a hearing aid without a telecoil may be harmful to your hearing.

When the HAC (Hearing Aid Compatibility) setting is on, your smartphone sends the audio from your phone calls to the telecoil rather than to the microphone of your hearing aid. You are likely to hear calls much better because volume is increased and background noise and feedback are diminished. The HAC setting improves only the calls you listen to through the earpiece. It does not affect calls heard on the speakerphone or with a car kit or headset. HAC requires extra battery power, so watch your battery consumption when it's turned on.
