Alert Type
Menu 3.3
This option allows you to indicate how you are to be
informed of any incoming calls. The following options are
available.
Light only: only the backlight is switched on; the phone
neither rings nor vibrates.
Melody: the phone rings using the ringing tone
selected via the Ring Tone menu option (3.2).
Vibration: the phone vibrates but does not ring.
Note: In idle mode, you can set the phone to vibrate
only (silent mode) or to start ringing again, simply
by pressing the
C key (for further details, see
page 20).
Vibra+Melody: the phone first vibrates three times and
then starts ringing.
Step Melody: the phone rings using the selected
ringing tone, after every ring sequence the volume
gradually becomes louder. When maximum volume is
reached, the phone restarts ringing from minimal
volume.
Tone Length
Menu 3.4
The tone length setting enables you to select Continuous
or Fixed DTMF (dual-tone multi-frequency) tones. DTMF
tones are what your phone transmits to access
teleservices (such as a bank account). The system used by
the bank or other service determines if you need short or
long DTMF. If the service is digital (which most are these
days), short DTMF will almost always work. However,
some new systems and almost all older (analog) system
require you to use long DTMF tones.
Sound Settings
You can use the Sound Settings feature to customize
various settings, such as the:
• Ringing tone or melody, volume and type
• Sounds made when you press a key, make an
error or receive a message
Ring Volume
Menu 3.1
This option allows you to adjust the ringing volume
to one of five levels.
Press the key to increase and the key to
decrease the volume. The greater the number of
bars, the greater the volume.
Ring Tone
Menu 3.2
This option allows you to select the required ringing
tone. You can choose between 20 different tones.
Each time you select a tone, it is played for a few
seconds. Tones 19 and 20 correspond to the melodies
that you can compose, using the Melody Composer
menu option (3.9).
