BlackBerrys allow you to adjust device notifications for different situations. You can set your BlackBerry to play ringtones and notifications at full volume if you're in a noisy environment. If you need to receive notifications without disturbing your co-workers, you can set your BlackBerry to vibrate. You may also choose to turn all alerts off to save battery power. BlackBerry Sound Profiles are pre-loaded groupings of sound and vibration settings that allow you to change your alerts quickly.
Default BlackBerry Sound Profiles
All Alerts Off: This halts all alerts on the BlackBerry, and this profile cannot be deleted or altered.
Normal: By default this profile plays all alerts at the default volume settings.
Loud: This profile plays all alerts with the volume elevated.
Medium: This profile plays all alerts at a slightly decreased volume.
Silent: This profile plays no auditory alerts and does not vibrate.
Vibrate Only: Alerts are only delivered by vibration.
Phone Calls Only: Alerts are only delivered for phone calls.
You can change the settings for each of these sound profiles, and you can also Add a Custom Profile to suit your specific needs. You can quickly switch from profile to profile by clicking on the speaker icon near the top of your BlackBerry's home screen, and then choosing a different profile from the menu.
