After you have verified that your phone operates in TTY
mode and you want to switch back to handheld phone
operation, unplug the 2.5 mm plug from your phone. You
can then use your phone normally.
If you want to switch from handheld to TTY operation
(after you are in TTY mode), simply re-insert the 2.5 mm
plug into the handset jack. You will know your phone is
back in TTY operation because the TTY symbol will
reappear in the lower lefthand corner of your display.
Optimum Use
TTY communications can be conducted from moving
vehicles, however, it may be dangerous to operate a
vehicle and communicate on your mobile phone at the
same time. You may experience a higher character error
rate of the TTY conversation while in motion. For the
highest quality communications, it is best to remain
stationary.
The TTY feature works in most signal strength areas. You
may experience a higher character error rate in low signal
coverage areas. You may be able to move the cellular
handset to get a better signal to reduce the character
errors.
