• COMPOSE A NEW RINGING TONE
Your new ringing tone can consist of up to approximately 70 notes and rests. The phone
discards any notes or rests beyond 70. Use the note counter to the right of the Status
Bar to monitor the length of your new ringing tone.
CREATE A NEW RINGING TONE

then click Nokia PC Composer).
2 Click the appropriate note (or rest) button.
3 Using the insert point, click the desired line or space on the staff (result: the note is
placed on the staff, and is played by your PC’s sound card).
4 Continue entering the desired notes and/or rests until you have completed your new tune.
5 Click the Play button to replay the ringing tone from the beginning.

Save your new ringing tone
When you are ready to save your new ringing tone, click the Save button on the toolbar. Use the Save as dialog box to set file name
and location to save the new file. Default file type for your new ringing tone is .mid (MIDI). However, you need to save your work
as OTA (ringing tone) format (.ott) before sending your new ringing tone to the phone. Use the Save as type drop down box to
select the desired file type.
Note: You can create and save as many new ringing tones as you have space on your hard drive. However, your phone can only
hold up to 10 new ringing tones at any given time.
