To choose another wallpaper image for the weather animation, tap Weather Wallpaper. On the
subsequent screen, select one of the presets to use as your wallpaper.
If you have your own custom wallpaper that you want to use, tap Albums and then tap All. Scroll
through the photos stored on your phone and storage card and then tap the photo that you want to
use.

Updating weather information
Your phone can determine your current location and display your local time and weather conditions on the
weather clock.
If the weather clock does not show the most recent weather conditions or does not show any weather
information for some reason (such as when the auto download option is disabled), tap the weather image
or the “My Location” text to go to the Weather tab and then tap Update Now. The most recent weather
information of your location will then show on both the Weather tab and the Home tab’s weather clock.
You can set the time interval for auto updating weather information on the Home tab. Press the END/POWER
button to return to the Home tab, tap Menu > Weather Settings, and then choose a time interval.
For more information about viewing weather information, see “Weather” later in this chapter.
