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.
