Creating a new ringing tone
1. Scroll to the tone that you want to edit and press
(
Select
).
2. Enter the desired notes. For example, press
for
note f (shown as

). The phone plays each note after it is
entered (unless the phone tones are off).
3. To adjust the characteristics of the note:
• Note duration:

lengthens (+) the duration of

of the note, e.g.
16d
denotes a note d with duration 1/16.
Pressing and holding a note key lengthens the note by half, indicated by a
dot after the duration, e.g.
8.a
.
