Customizing Your Phone

You don’t want your phone to be like everyone else’s.You want pizzazz! Flair! You want to customize your phone to be uniquely you. You’ve already seen some of the notification settings you can customize,but let’s go back in and take a closer look.

Sound Settings

To customize the sound settings on your phone,follow these steps:

1. Press the Menu button,and tap Settings.

2. Tap Sound & display to bring up the screen.You can customize a wide variety of settings:

• Silent mode: You can turn silent mode on or off.When this is checked,the only noise your phone will make is when it plays audio or video files.When silent mode is checked, you can’t customize any other settings.

• Ringer volume: You might have seen a smaller version of this screen just by acciden- tally hitting the rocker button on the left side of the phone.You’ll notice that the phone beeps as you lift your finger from picking a volume,just to give you an idea of how loud the phone will be when ringing.Touch OK if you want the volume changed to what you picked;touch Cancel if not.

• Media volume: The media volume functions the same as the Ringer volume feature, but it controls the volume of any music or video files you might want to play.

• Phone ringtone: This is a list of ringtones that you have available.When you select a ringtone,it plays for you until you touch either another ringtone,OK,or Cancel.

• Phone vibrate: When this option is checked,the phone vibrates as well as plays the chosen ringtone when you get a call.However,the phone also has a Vibrate Only mode if you don’t want to hear the ringtone.If Silent mode is checked,the phone won’t vibrate or play a ringtone.

• Notification ringtone: This is the ringtone that’s played when you receive a new message.

• Audible touch tones: This setting applies only to the on-screen dial pad that you get when making a phone call.If you enjoy hearing “Mary Had a Little Lamb”when you dial 3 2 1 2 3 3 3 2 2 2 3 9 9 3 2 1 2 3 3 3 3 2 2 3 2 1,you can turn this on.

• Audible selection: When turned on,this setting produces a little “click”sound every time you touch an icon.

Display Settings

You can access two Display settings from the same screen as the Sound settings:

• Brightness: The Brightness slider controls how bright the screen is.Remember,the brighter the screen,the less battery life you’ll have.

• Screen timeout: This option controls how long it takes between your last touch of the screen or one of the buttons and the screen turning off to conserve battery life.
