Playing Music While Using the Phone The Music Player allows you to play music in the background while performing other tasks on your phone. The music pauses when an incoming call is accepted and resumes when the call is ended. Music continues to play when you receive a Text Message, a Multimedia Message, or an Instant Message. The other functions you can use are: • Call: make or receive a call (music player is paused) • Messaging: send or receive a text or multimedia message. Music continues to play unless an audio clip is received as a part of a multimedia message. • Mobile Web: browse the web (music continues to play). • Music Player: turns on Music Player, or allows you to use full-screen controls of the music player. • Games: lets you play games while listening to music. Important!: When you are finished using the Music Player function, you must press to stop the function to prevent the battery from losing its charge. Pausing the player continues to use the battery.
