The following phone keys correspond to the following functions:

The Number keys, 1 - 9 will insert notes into the ringtone sequence. 1 gives a C and 9 a high D. Holding down a number key will make the note longer.

The # key will increase or decrease the pitch in steps of one semitone. Press once to make a note a sharp (#), and twice to make it a flat (b), pressing three times will return the note to its normal pitch.

The << and >> keys allow you to scroll backward and forward within the ringtone's sequence of notes. Press and hold either to jump to the beginning or end.

The Zero key will move a note up or down one octave. A + sign is added before a note name if the octave has been raised.

The CLEAR key will erase the note to the left of the cursor.

NOTE : Pressing and holding the CLR button will erase the entire sequence.

When inputting the ringtone codes onto your phone you will see a number, usually 4, before the notes. This number denotes the speed of the music, 1 being the slowest and 4 obviously the fastest.

To enable the phone to read the notes correctly a space must be left between each inputted note e.g. C2 D2 C+2.

Each music tone can have a maximum of 35 notes and therefore somewhat limiting the phone slightly.

To get around this and if the tones are sounding rather slow then try removing the R2 note as this is just a pause note for the music.

To enter notes, use the keypads, A-G, R=Rest, followed by a # if the note is a sharp.

Please note that any flat note e.g. B flat is actually inputted as an # i.e. A #.

To change the note to a higher octave input + and for a lower one use -.

Each note is approximately a quarter note which sounds for 1 beat. This can be changed by placing any number between 1-8 after the note to either increase or decrease the length the note sounds.

On some phones you may need to delete the ringtone note by note.

If you have to follow this procedure make sure that you leave the number 4 in otherwise you will have to start all over again.

2. scroll to Tones and choose select
3. scroll to Composer and choose select.

If you keep a higher or lower octave, you must press the number of keys, e.g. 2x the key 1 = 11 you receive a high octave (H=High octave) and for a low octave you must press the key three times, e.g. 3x the key 1 = 111 (L=Low octave).
