TTY Use With Pivot Service

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

into your phone’s headset jack. If this cable was not provided
with your TTY device, contact your TTY device manufacturer
