Customizing the Phone’s Display

In the previous chapters, you’ve learned how to customize calls, such as how to change call volume, forward incoming calls in a special way, or divert calls from a contact. But what if you want to customize the display? This chapter shows you how you can customize your phone’s screen. Basic customizations include changing the time and date format and updating the screen brightness. If you want to get fancy, you can set up a screen saver or change the background picture.

This chapter shows you how to do the following:

Change the language on your phone

Change the display contrast

Change the time and date display

Change the backlight settings

Change the background picture

Display a screen saver

Use the phone as a digital picture frame

Set up power saving mode

Changing the Language on Your Phone

Your phone supports several languages.

To change the language:

1From Home view, select Settings > Basic > Preferences > Language.

2From the Language screen, select the language you want. The language on your phone updates automatically.

Changing the Time and Date Display

The time and date display in the status bar. If the phone cannot obtain a time and date, the time and date display area flashes. Contact your system administrator if the display flashes, or either the time or date is incorrect.

You can choose from a variety of time and date display formats, including options to display the day, month, or year. You can also turn the time and date display off, so the display doesn’t show at all. Select and set options that are right for you.

The following figure shows the default display for the time and date.
