Changing Your Profile

To set or change the profile settings:
Depending on your selected Theme and BlackBerry
carrier (phone company), how you get to your Sounds
icon may be slightly different.
On our BlackBerry, this speaker icon is the Sounds
icon. If you don't see it on your screen, press the
Menu key to see the entire list of icons, then scroll to
the Sounds icon and click on it.
Seven basic preloaded settings are available: Normal,
Loud, Medium, Vibrate Only, Silent, Phone Calls Only,
and All Alerts Off. You'll see the word ''Active'' next to
one of them.
For most users, Normal will be the active profile that
rings to announce a phone call and either vibrates or
plays a tone when a message arrives.
Loud increases the volume for all notifications.
Medium is between Loud and Quiet.
Vibrate Only enables a short vibration, good for meetings,
movies, or other situations where cell phone rings are
discouraged.
Silent displays notifications on the display and via the
LED.
Phone Calls Only turns off all email and SMS (text)
notifications.
All Alerts Off turns off all notifications.

Fine-Tuning Your Sound Profiles

There may be some situations where you want a combination of options that one profile
alone can't satisfy. The BlackBerry is highly customizable, so you can adjust your profile
options for virtually any situation. The easiest way to accomplish this is to choose a
profile that is closest to what you need and edit it as shown here.
TIP: Pressing the letter
F on your keyboard
should start Profiles if
you turned on hotkeys
(see page 541).
