A TTY (teletypewriter, 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 will connect using 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.
To turn TTY Mode on or off:
1. From home, tap Apps > Settings .

Warning : 9-1-1 Emergency Calling
It is recommended that TTY users make emergency calls by other means, including Telecommunications
Relay Services (TRS), analog cellular, and landline communications. Wireless TTY calls to 9-1-1 may be corrupted when received by public safety answering points (PSAPs), rendering some communications unintelligible. The problem encountered appears related to TTY equipment or software used by PSAPs.
This matter has been brought to the attention of the FCC, and the wireless industry and the PSAP community are currently working to resolve this.

FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC)
Regulations for Wireless Devices
This device has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids, with some of the wireless technologies that it uses. However, there may be newer wireless technologies used in the device that have not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to try the different features on your device thoroughly and in different locations whilst using a hearing aid or cochlear implant to determine if there is any interfering noise.
The FCC has adopted HAC rules for digital wireless phones. These rules require certain devices to be tested and rated under the American National Standard Institute (ANSI) C63.19-201 hearing aid compatibility standards. The ANSI standard for hearing aid compatibility contains two types of ratings:
● M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than mobile devices that are not labelled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.
● T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to work better with a hearing device’s telecoil (“T Switch” or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. T4 is the better/ higher of the two ratings. (Note not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.)
The tested M-Rating and T-Rating for this device (FCC ID: R38YL3310A) are M4 and T3.
