• Profiles
Profiles define how your phone reacts when you receive a call or a message, how
your keypad sounds when you press a key, and more. Ringing options, keypad
tones, and other settings can be left at their default setting, or customized to
suit your needs. Select and customize the most suitable profile for your situation,
such as when you are in a meeting or outdoors. The profiles available are
Normal, Silent, Meeting, Outdoor, and Pager.
Profiles are also available for enhancements such as a headset and car kit.
See “Enhancement settings” on page 55 for more information about
enhancement profiles.
Select a profile
Select Menu > Settings > Profiles, a profile from the list, and Activate; or in
the start screen, briefly press the Power key, scroll to the desired profile, and
press and hold the Power key.
Customize a profile
You can customize any of the profiles a variety of ways.
1
Select Menu > Settings > Profiles.
2
Select the profile you want to customize; select Customize and one of the
listed options.
For Alert for, define which caller groups the selected profile will accept or
decline. See “Caller groups” on page 44 for more information.
Set a timed profile
Timed profiles can be used to prevent missed calls. For example, suppose you
attend an event that requires your phone be set to Silent before the event
starts, but you forget to return it to Normal until long after the event. During
this time, you have missed several calls because the ringing tone was silent.
With the timed profile feature, you can set a profile to expire after any length of
time up to 24 hours. When the profile expires, your phone automatically returns
to the default profile.
1
Select Menu > Settings > Profiles, a profile, and Timed.
2
Enter the time for the profile to expire, and select OK.
The profile you have set for expiration is now active and appears in the
start screen along with a small clock icon.
