Setting Phone Messages Ringtones
You can select the way your device lets you know (or “notifies” you) when a new phone message has arrived. To
select a notification method, do the following:
1 From the Jump screen select Phone Messages. The Browse Phone Messages screen appears.
2 Press Menu to open the Browse Phone Messages menu. Select Settings. The Phone Messages Settings
screen appears:
3 The Ring for Receipt of New Message check box is selected by default. If you would rather not be notified
by a ringtone when a new message arrives, remove the check mark by using the wheel to highlight the check
box, then press. (Pressing again will cause the check mark to appear once again.)
4 Assuming you do want a ringtone to notify you of a new phone message, select a ringtone “category” from
the first pop-up menu. To open the category pop-up menu, use the wheel to highlight the first field (in the
example above, “Beeps” is selected in the first field). Then press the wheel to open the pop-up menu. Rotate
the wheel to select the category you want, then press. You can choose from Beeps, Silent, Tunes, and Voice.
5 Depending on what category you’ve selected, you will have additional sound selections (“songs”) in the pop-
up menu to the right. You will hear a preview of the sound when you highlight it in the pop-up menu. Press
the wheel to select a song.
6 When finished setting up your ringtones, press Back to save your changes.
