System, alarm, and game sounds
Your handheld uses a variety of sounds. The System, Alarm, and Game Sound
settings enable you to turn the sounds on or off, and to adjust the volume level.
To set the system and alarm sounds:
1. Tap the System Sound pick list and select the sound level.
IMPORTANT When you turn off the System Sounds, you also turn off the “chime”
tones associated with the HotSync operation.
2. Tap the Alarm Sound pick list and select the sound level.
3. Tap the Game Sound pick list and select the sound level.
The Game Sound setting works only with games that are programmed to
respond to this setting. Older games typically do not respond to this setting.
Alarm Vibrate and indicator light settings
You can set alarms in Date Book, Note Pad and World Clock to remind you of
important meetings or notes. When you enable the Alarm Vibrate and indicator
light settings, your handheld vibrates and the indicator light blinks to notify you
of alarms. This is useful whenever you want to turn the Alarm Sound off but still
be notified of alarms.
To set the Alarm Vibrate and indicator light settings:
1. Tap the Alarm Vibrate pick list and select On or Off.
2. Tap the Alarm LED pick list and select On or Off.
Keyboard Preferences
The Keyboard Preferences screen enables you to customize the keyboard. You can
set how each key responds when pressed or held. You can also remap the character
or function of the key.
Any changes you make in the Keyboard Preferences screen become effective
immediately; you do not have to change to a different screen or application.
