Using One of Your Own Pictures as the Background Picture
You can use a picture that is stored on your USB flash drive as the background picture on your phone.
When you set one of your pictures as the background picture, the picture displays as Local File in the
Backgrounds list.
Before you can set a picture on your USB flash drive as the background picture, confirm the following:
The picture is on a USB flash drive, and the USB flash drive is attached to your phone.
You have specified the folder the picture is in on your USB flash drive.
For more information on placing a picture on your USB flash drive, connecting the USB flash drive to your
phone, and specifying a folder, see Displaying Screen Savers.
Note: Restrictions for Background Images
When you use one of your own pictures as the background image, keep in mind the following:
Progressive or multiscan JPEG images are not supported.
The phone screen size is 320 x 240 pixels (for the VVX 500) and 480 x 272 (for the VVX
600). Smaller images are centered and surrounded with black space. Larger images are
scaled proportionally to fit the screen. Horizontal or vertical black bars are added to preserve
the original aspect ratio.
To use a picture on your USB flash drive as the background picture on your phone:
1 Tap Settings from Home view, and tap Features > Removable Storage Media > Picture Frame.
Your pictures display, one-by-one.
2 To set a picture as the background picture for your phone, wait for the picture to display, and tap
. Or, tap one of the arrow icons, , to display the picture, and tap .
Home view updates to display the background picture you selected. To reset your background image to
the default, select Default from the Background screen.
Displaying Screen Savers
Another way to personalize your phone is to use the pictures stored on a USB flash drive as a screen
saver. The screen saver automatically starts each time your phone is idle a certain amount of time. You
can stop the screen saver at any time by tapping the touchscreen. When your phone is idle again for a
specified period of time, the screen saver starts again.
User Tip: Using Your Phone as a Digital Picture Frame
You can use the Picture Frame feature to set a single picture to display, or have all pictures display
in slide-show style. This avoids the need for you to set up a screen saver that automatically starts
each time your phone is idle a certain amount of time. For more information, see Using the Phone
as a Digital Picture Frame.
