Set a timed profile Timed profiles can be used to prevent missed calls. For example, suppose you attend an event that requires your phone be set to Silent before the event starts, but you forget to return it to Normal until long after the event. During this time, you have missed several calls because the ringing tone was silent. With the timed profile feature, you can set a profile to expire after any length of time up to 24 hours. When the profile expires, your phone automatically returns to the default profile. 1 Select Menu > Settings > Profiles, a profile, and Timed. 2 Enter the time for the profile to expire, and select OK. The profile you have set for expiration is now active and appears in the start screen along with a small clock icon. Nokia 6170 User Guide 47 Copyright © 2004 Nokia
