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
f
). 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:
shortens (-) and
lengthens (+) the duration of
the note or rest. The default duration is 1/4. The duration is shown in
front 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
.
• Rest:
inserts a rest (i.e. pause) of the same duration as the previous note. The default
duration of a rest is one quarter note (1/4). The rest is indicated by the - character.
• Octave:
sets the octave for new notes. The octave is shown as a number after the note (e.g.
e1
).
• Pitch:
makes the note sharp (indicated by
#
in front of the note), e.g.
#f
. The pitch
selection is not available for notes e and b.
