TTY Mode
A TTY (also known as a TDD or Text Telephone) is a telecommunications phone 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 phones. Please check
with the manufacturer of your TTY phone to ensure that it is compatible with digital cell phones.
Your phone and TTY phone will connect via a special cable that plugs into your phone's
headset jack. If this cable was not provided with your TTY phone, contact your TTY phone
manufacturer to purchase the connector cable.

WARNING
: 911 Emergency Calling Sprint recommends that TTY users make emergency
calls by other means, including Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS),
analog cellular, and landline communications. Wireless TTY calls to 911 may be
corrupted when received by public safety answering points (PSAPs), rendering
some communications unintelligible. The problem encountered appears related
to 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.
Proximity Sensor
You can access the phone's proximity sensor through the Call Settings menu.
When receiving and making calls, this sensor automatically turns the backlight off and locks the
touch keypad by sensing when the phone is near your ear. This extends battery life and
prevents the touch keypad from activating unintentionally during calls.
To enable the Proximity Sensor:
1. Press

.
2. Tap the
Proximity Sensor
checkbox to enable it. (A blue checkmark will appear.)
