About profiles

Notification profiles are designed to alert you of appointment and task reminders, and incoming messages, calls, and browser content. You can create a profile that specifies which sounds to use, whether to notify you when the BlackBerry® device is in or out of the holster, and what volume level to use. You can use different sounds for each type of item.

The device has six preset notification profiles: Loud, Vibrate, Quiet, Normal, Phone Only, and Off. You can edit these default profiles, except for the Off profile. You cannot delete them.
