Choosing Vibrate Pattern

When you set the alert mode to vibrate, the handset vibrates to

indicate an incoming call or message. You can select from the

different vibrate patterns provided.

Note:

See Alert Mode on page 29 for how to view and set the alert

mode.

install audio files as ringtunes. You can then assign the installed

ring tone to a call or message as described in “Choosing Ringtunes

for Calls” and “Choosing Ringtunes for Messages” earlier in this

section. You can also assign installed ringtunes as alarm sounds in

the Contacts, Calendar, To Do, and Time applications.
Sample ringtunes are provided on the CD-ROM supplied with the

handset.
