Hearing Aid Mode iPhone has a Hearing Aid Mode that, when activated, may reduce interference with some hearing aid models. Hearing Aid Mode reduces the transmission power of the cellular radio in the GSM 1900 MHz band and may result in decreased 2G cellular coverage. Activate Hearing Aid Mode: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing Aids. Assignable ringtones and vibrations You can assign distinctive ringtones to people in your contacts list for audible caller ID. You can also assign vibration patterns for notifications from specific apps, for phone calls, for FaceTime calls or messages from special contacts, and to alert you of a variety of other events, including new voicemail, new mail, sent mail, Tweet, Facebook Post, and reminders. Choose from existing patterns, or create new ones. See Sounds on page 139. You can purchase ringtones from the iTunes Store on iPhone. See Chapter 22, iTunes Store, on page 94. LED Flash for Alerts If you can't hear the sounds that announce incoming calls and other alerts, you can have iPhone flash its LED (next to the camera lens on the back of the iPhone). This works only when iPhone is locked or asleep. Available for iPhone 4 or later. Turn on LED Flash for Alerts: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > LED Flash for Alerts. Guided Access Guided Access helps someone using iPhone to stay focused on a particular task. Guided Access limits iPhone to a single app, and lets you control which app features are available. Use Guided Access to: •• Temporarily restrict iPhone to a particular app •• Disable areas of the screen that aren't relevant to a task, or areas where an accidental gesture might cause a distraction •• Disable the iPhone hardware buttons Use Guided Access: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Guided Access, where you can: •• Turn Guided Access on or off •• Set a passcode that controls the use of Guided Access and prevents someone from leaving an active session •• Set whether iPhone can go to sleep during a session Start a Guided Access session: Open the app you want to run, then triple-click the Home button.
