In the previous chapters, you learned how to customize calls—such as how to change call volume,
forward incoming calls in a special way, or divert calls from a contact. But what if you want to customize
the touchscreen display? This chapter shows you how you can customize the display so that it's unique to
you. Basic customizations include changing the time and date format and updating the screen brightness.
If you want to get fancy, you can set up a screen saver or use your phone as a digital picture frame.
In this chapter, you'll learn how to do the following:
 Change the language on your phone
 Change the time and date display
 Change the backlight settings
 Change the background picture
 Display a screen saver
 Use the phone as a digital picture frame
 Set up power saving mode

Changing the Language on Your Phone

Your phone supports several languages.
To change the language:
1 Tap Settings from Home view, and tap Basic > Preferences > Language.
2 From the Language screen, tap the language you want. The language on your phone updates
automatically.

Changing the Time and Date Display

The time and date display in the status bar. If the phone can't obtain a time and date, the time and date
display will flash. Contact your system administrator if the display flashes, or either the time or date is
incorrect.
You can choose from a variety of time and date display formats, including options to display the day,
month, or year. You can also turn the time and date display off, so it doesn't display at all. Select and set
options that are right for you.
