Teletypewriter (TTY) Devices

You can use an optional teletypewriter (TTY) device with your phone to send and receive calls. You must plug the TTY device into the phone’s headset connector and set the phone to operate in one of three TTY modes.

Note

A TTY is a communication device used by people who are hard of hearing or have a speech impairment. TTY does not work from mobile phone to mobile phone. Use a TSB-121 compliant cable (provided by the TTY manufacturer) to connect the TTY device to your phone. Your phone has a 3.5 mm jack. Set the phone to Medium volume level for proper operation. If you experience a high number of incorrect characters, adjust the volume as needed to minimize the error rate. For optimal performance, your phone should be at least 12 inches (30 centimeters) from the TTY device. Placing the phone too close to the TTY device may cause high error rates.
