Before you can set a picture on your USB flash drive as the background picture, confirm the following:

∙The picture is on a USB flash drive, and the USB flash drive is attached to your phone.

∙You have specified the folder the picture is in on your USB flash drive.

Displaying Screen Savers

Another way to personalize your phone is to use the pictures stored on a USB flash drive as a screen saver. The screen saver automatically starts each time your phone is idle a certain amount of time. You can stop the screen saver at any time by tapping the touchscreen. When your phone is idle again for a specified period of time, the screen saver starts again.

User Tip: Using Your Phone as a Digital Picture Frame

You can use the Picture Frame feature to set a single picture to display, or have all pictures display in slide-show style. This avoids the need for you to set up a screen saver that automatically starts each time your phone is idle a certain amount of time.
