EMERGENCY

PREPAREDNESS:

Why keep my TTY?

The TTY or text telephone, as it is also known, was

developed to allow people who are deaf, hard of hearing

or speech disabled to communicate using the telephone.

During the 1980’s and 1990’s, TTY was the predominant

method of telephone communication until the internet

and wireless devices became popular. Deaf and hard

of hearing individuals now use wireless devices, video

phones (VRS) and personal computers (IP relay) as a

communication means.

Why keep my TTY? you may ask. While some people

have returned their TTY to FTRI, others have decided to

keep them for a very important reason. 9-1-1. In times

of emergency the TTY continues to remain one of the

best methods for individuals with hearing loss to contact

9-1-1. Power outage is prevalent in Florida primarily

due to hurricanes and lightening storms and using the

TTY to place a 9-1-1 call is ideal because the emergency

officials can readily locate where the caller is and respond

quickly. FTRI encourages everyone to reconsider keeping

their TTY in the event of an emergency. If you have any

questions, please contact us at 888-447-5620 (TTY).

Advertising in Local Newspapers

In addition to the PSAs,

FTRI advertises in

newspapers throughout the

state to further promote its

services and telephones.

FTRI believes it’s important

to keep its message in

the forefront so that the

more people see or hear

about its program the

more people will become

aware. FTRI also relies

on consumers, such as yourself, to spread the word about

how the telephone has benefited you and how it may

also benefit other family members and friends. If you

happen to see an FTRI advertisement and perhaps already

received a telephone from FTRI or at one of the Regional

Distribution Centers (RDC) located throughout the state,

please relay the message to someone else so that they

too can benefit from communicating on the telephone

independently. The equipment and services are provided

to qualified Florida residents at no charge (free) for as long

as they reside in Florida. This service is made available

by a monthly surcharge collected from all telephones lines

in the state of Florida as required by law (TASA, F.S. 427

Signal Meter on the CapTel Phone

The Signal Meter is a helpful visual cue that flickers to

let you know when there are sounds on the line (such as

the other person speaking), even if the sounds are not loud

enough for you to hear. If the Signal Meter stops flickering

during a call, it means the other person is “done” talking.

Now it’s your turn.

Sometimes the Signal Meter shows that the other person

has finished speaking, but you are still receiving captions.

Ask the caller to “hang on a moment” to give yourself a

little extra time to read the captions before speaking.
