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.

IMPORTANT 911 Emergency Calling
:
We recommend that TTY users make
emergency calls by other means, including Telecommunications Relay Services
(TRS), analog cellular, and land line 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 TTY equipment or software used by PSAPs. The wireless industry and
PSAP community are currently working to resolve this.
