About ring tones, sounds, and alerts
The profile that you select in the Sound and Alert Profiles application defines how your BlackBerry smartphone
alerts you of phone calls, messages, reminders, and browser content.
Your smartphone has a Normal profile and five other preloaded profiles: Loud, Medium, Vibrate Only, Silent, and
Phone Calls Only. By default, some of the settings in the preloaded profiles are based on the settings in the Normal
profile. For example, when you change the ring tone in the Normal profile, the ring tone in the Loud profile, Medium
profile, and Phone Calls Only profile is automatically updated. If you don't want specific settings for a preloaded
profile to update automatically when you change the corresponding setting in the Normal profile, you can manually
change the settings in that preloaded profile.
Change your ring tone, notifiers, reminders, or alerts
In any sound profile, you can change your ring tone or notifier tone to an audio file that's stored in your BlackBerry
smartphone's built-in media storage or media card. You can also change the options for volume, notifications
during calls, LED, and vibration in all of the profiles. The All Alerts Off profile can't be changed.
