Understanding Profiles on your Blackberry

Understanding Profiles:
Your BlackBerry is highly customizable - everything from Ringtones to vibrations to LED notifications can be adjusted. Traveling on an airplane but sill want to use your calendar or play a game without disturbing others? No problem. In a meeting and don't want the phone to ring - but you do want some sort of notification when an email comes in? No problem.

Virtually any scenario you can imagine can be dealt with preemptively by adjusting the profile settings.

Basic Profile Settings:
By default, the BlackBerry is set to a "Normal" profile - meaning that when a call comes in, the phone rings and when a message comes in, the phone plays a tune.

Changing your Profile:
Depending you your selected Theme and BlackBerry carrier (Phone Company), how you get to your profiles icon will be slightly different.

If you don't see this speaker icon on your screen, press the Menu key to see the entire list of icons, then scroll to the "Profiles" icon and click on it.

Seven basic ‘preset' settings are available from which you can choose: Normal, Loud, Medium, vibrate, Silent, Phone only and Off. Next to one of those options the word "Active" will be displayed. For most users, "Normal" will be the active profile which rings during phone calls and either vibrates or plays a tone when a message arrives. "Loud" increases the volume for all notifications. "Vibrate" enables a short vibration for meetings, movies or other places where cell phone rings are discouraged. "Silent" will display notifications on the display and via the LED. "Phone Only" will turn off all email and SMS notifications. "Off" will turn off all notifications.
