TTY Mode
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. Press
>
> System settings > Call > TTY mode.
2. Touch TTY Full, TTY HCO, or TTY VCO to turn TTY mode on.

may impair the audio quality of non-TTY devices connected to the headset jack.
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.

Web and Data
Your phone‘s data capabilities let you wirelessly access the Internet or your corporate network
through a variety of connections, including Wi-Fi, 4G, Data Services (3G Network), and Virtual
Private Networks (VPN).
The following topics address your phone‘s data connections and the built-in Web browser.
Connect Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi is a wireless networking technology that can provide Internet access at distances of up to
100 meters, depending on the Wi-Fi router and your surroundings.
To use Wi-Fi on your phone, you must connect to a wireless access point, or hotspot. Some
access points are open and you can simply connect to them without entering any information.
Others are hidden or implement other security features, so you must configure your phone to
connect to them.
Turn off Wi-Fi when you're not using it to extend the life of your battery.
When you connect to a Wi-Fi network, the phone obtains a network address and other
information it needs from the network, using the DHCP protocol. To configure the phone with a
static IP address and other advanced settings, tap
settings menu.
> Advanced Wi-Fi from the Wi-Fi
Turn Wi-Fi On and Connect to a Network
Use the Wi-Fi menu to enable your phone's Wi-Fi radio and connect to an available Wi-Fi
network.

connects to it.
3. Tap a network to connect to it.
.
If the network is secured, you will be prompted to enter a password. (Ask your
network administrator for details.)
Web and Data

.
When you're connected to a network, you can tap the network name in the Wi-Fi
settings screen for details about the speed, security, address, and related settings.
To receive notifications when open or secured networks are in range:
By default, when Wi-Fi is on, you receive notifications in the Status Bar when your phone
detects an open Wi-Fi network.
1. Turn on Wi-Fi, if it's not already on.
2. From the Wi-Fi settings screen, tap
> Advanced Wi-Fi, then tap the Network
notification check box to activate the feature.
Add a Wi-Fi Network
You can add a Wi-Fi network manually if it does not broadcast its name (SSID) or if you want to
add a Wi-Fi network when you are out of its range.
To add a secured network, you need to contact the network‗s administrator to obtain the
password or other required security credentials.
1. Turn on Wi-Fi, if it's not already on.
2. From the Wi-Fi settings screen, tap
> Add network.
3. Enter the Network SSID (name) of the network. If the network is secured, tap the
Security drop-down menu and tap the type of security used for the network.
4. Enter the required passwords and security credentials.
5. Tap Connect.
The phone will connect to the wireless network. Any credentials that you entered are saved, so
you are connected automatically the next time you come within range of this network.
To forget a Wi-Fi network:
You can also make the phone forget about the details of a Wi-Fi network that you have added.
For example, if you don't want the phone to connect to it automatically or if it is a network that
you no longer use.
1. Turn on Wi-Fi, if it's not already on.
2. In the Wi-Fi settings screen, touch and hold the name of the network.
3. Tap Forget network.

Data Services General Information (3G and 4G
Networks)
The following topics will help you learn the basics of using your data services, including
managing your user name, launching a data connection, and navigating the Web with your
phone.
Important: Certain data services requests may require additional time to process. While your
phone is loading the requested service, the touchscreen or QWERTY keyboard may appear
unresponsive when in fact they are functioning properly. Allow the phone some time to process
your data usage request.
4G
4G provides your phone with wireless Internet access over greater distances than Wi-Fi and
delivers data transfer rates of up to 30 Mbps. To connect your phone to the 4G network, you
need access to a 4G base station.
Note: The availability and range of 4G depends on a number of factors including your distance
to the 4G base station, and infrastructure and other objects through which the signal passes.
Turn 4G On and Connect to the 4G Network
1. Press
>
> System settings > More... > Mobile networks > Network mode.
2. Select LTE/CDMA. The phone will scan for the 4G network and will automatically
connect to it. If CDMA is selected, the phone will scan for CDMA only.
When your phone is connected to the 4G network, the 4G icon (
) appears in the Status
Bar and tells you the approximate signal strength (number of bars displayed).
Note: The 4G network is self-discoverable, which means no additional steps are required for
your phone to connect to it.
Check 4G Network Status
1. Press
>
> System settings > More... > Mobile networks.
2. Touch 4G settings. The network provider name and IP address are displayed.
Your Data Services User Name
When you buy your phone and sign up for service, you‘re automatically assigned a user name,
which is typically based on your name and a number.
Web and Data
77
When you use data services, your user name is submitted to identify you to the network. Your
user name is automatically programmed into your phone. You don‘t have to enter it.
Update Your User Name
If you choose to change your user name and select a new one online, or make any changes to
your services, you must then update the profile on your phone.
■ Press
>
> System settings > System updates > Update profile.
Data Connection Status and Indicators
Your phone displays the current status of your data connection through indicators at the top of
the screen. The following symbols are used:
Your phone is connected to the 4G network. When the signal bands are animated, your phone
is scanning and connecting. During data transfer, the animated icon is not used (for example,
when you are opening a Web page).
When the signal bands are gray, your phone is connected to the network, signal is weak.
When both the bands and the 4G icon are gray, you there is no coverage and you are
disconnected from the 4G network.
Your phone is connected to the 3G Mobile Broadband Network (3G). When the signal bands are
animated, your phone is transferring data (for example, when you are opening a Web page);
when the signal bands are gray, your phone is connected to the network but is not currently
transferring data (for example, when you are viewing a Web page that is completely open). In
either state, you can receive incoming calls.
If you do not see an indicator, your phone does not have a current data connection.
Virtual Private Networks (VPN)
From your phone, you can add, set up, and manage virtual private networks (VPNs) that allow
you to connect and access resources inside a secured local network, such as your corporate
network.
Prepare Your Phone for VPN Connection
Depending on the type of VPN you are using at work, you may be required to enter your login
credentials or install security certificates before you can connect to your company‘s local
network. You can get this information from your network administrator.
