■ Teletypewriter (TTY) Devices
You can use an optional teletypewriter (TTY) device with your phone to
send and receive calls. You must plug the TTY device into the phone’s
headset connector and set the phone to operate in one of three TTY
modes. A TTY is a communication device used by people who are hard

mobile phone to mobile phone. Your phone has a 3.5mm jack. Use a
TSB-121 compliant cable (provided by the TTY manufacturer) and a
3.5mm to 2.5mm Audio Adapter to connect the TTY device to your
phone. Set the phone to Medium volume level for proper operation. If
you experience a high number of incorrect characters, adjust the
volume as needed to minimize the error rate. For optimal performance,
your phone should be at least 12 inches (30 centimeters) from the TTY
device. Placing the phone too close to the TTY device may cause high
error rates.

suggests that using portable audio devices, such as portable music
