Making Your Personal Ring Signal This chapter describes how you can make your own ring signal. You will find one example of how to make a simple melody and one example of a little more complex melody. You will also find a table of sample melodies that you can use. About the Phone's Note System Your phone has the capability to handle a range of tones spreading over two octaves. Look in Table 3 to understand which notes and other notation corresponds to which keys. Figure 13 also explains which key goes with which note on the keypad. If you press and hold a key, you make the note long. Note! You do not need to be musical to make your own melody, just look in Table 4 for two sample melodies that are easy to create.
