80 Section 2B: Controlling Your Phone’s Settings
TTY Use
A TTY (also known as a TDD or Text Telephone) is a
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 and
TTY device connects via a special cable that plugs into your
phone's headset jack. If this cable was not provided with your
TTY device, contact your TTY device manufacturer to purchase
the connector cable.
When establishing your wireless service, please call Nextel
Customer Service via the state Telecommunications Relay
Service (TRS) by first dialing
7 11s. Then provide the
state TRS with this number: 866-727-4889.
To turn TTY Mode on or off:
1. Press O > Settings > Others > TTY.
2. Select Disable, TTY, VCO, or HCO.
3. Read the disclaimer and then press Enable (left softkey).
(If you select Disable, press Disable [left softkey] after
reading the disclaimer.)
Note:
In TTY Mode, your phone displays the TTY access icon.
If TTY mode is enabled, the audio quality of non-TTY devices
connected to the headset jack may be impaired.
