You can set the backlighting on your phone to flash in a certain style when an incoming call is received. When this setting is activated, the lights will flash even if you silence the ringer.

2.Select from Fast Flash, Slow Flash, Heartbeat, or Rhythm. As you highlight the options a sample of each flash is provided.

Caution: A small percentage of users may be photo sensitive to flashing lights. In rare cases, exposure to flashing lights, under certain circumstances, may produce seizures. While such an event is not known to occur with mobile phone use, and the Kyocera K490 Series phone has been designed to minimize the possibility of any such occurrence, those who believe they may be photo sensitive should not enable the Flashing Lights feature.
