Your T-Mobile device is designed so you can set up many of its features to suit your preferences. Learn how in
this chapter:
The Settings Screens
All customization options are on the settings screens. There’s two types of settings screens:
• Customize
device settings
using the
Jump Settings
screens: From the Jump screen, open the menu
and select
Settings
to open these screens.
• Customize
application-specific settings
using the
application Settings
screens: From the Jump
screen, select any application (Web Browser, AOL Instant Messenger, Email, etc.). Then open the menu
and select
Settings
to open these screens.
We recommend you step through the device Settings screens and then the application-specific Settings screens
to completely customize your device for your personal use. Use the tables below to guide you through the
