30 Customizing Your Phone
– 5 sec/in call, 10 sec/in call, 30 sec/in call, or
1 min/in call—
Turn backlighting on for the
duration of a call, and for 5, 10, or 30
seconds or 1 minute after your last keypress.
Note: These four settings drain the
battery more quickly and reduce talk and
standby times.
Setting power backlighting
You can set backlighting to remain on when an
external power source, such as the AC adapter, is
used with the phone.
Note: Power backlighting may not be available with
some accessories. Check with your service provider.
1. Select Menu → Settings → Accessories →
Pwr Backlight.
2. Select Always On to keep backlighting on.
(The battery charges more slowly when power
backlighting is on.)
Setting backlighting to flash
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.
1. Select Menu → Settings → Display →
Flashing Lights.
2. Select from Fast Flash, Slow Flash, Heartbeat,
or
Rhythm. As you highlight the options a
sample of each flash is provided.
3. Press to select your option.
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.
Changing the display contrast
1. Select Menu → Settings → Display → Contrast.
2. Select the level of contrast you want.
Setting numbers to auto-hyphenate
Auto-hyphenation is a setting that automatically
inserts hyphens into your phone numbers to be
consistent with the U.S. dialing plan.
For example, 1-222-333-4444.
•Select
Menu → Settings → Display →
Auto-Hyphen → Enabled.

Kyocera K490 Series phones. They are included
only on phones with a grayscale screen display and
on some phones with a color screen display that
also include an application such as BREW, Axcess
Apps, or Download Shop. For availability, contact
your service provider.
