Enabling Screen Savers
Another way to personalize your phone is to enable a screen saver that can either show default pictures
stored on your phone, the idle browser, or pictures stored on a USB flash drive. Ask your system
administrator if this feature is available on your phone.
This section includes the following topics:
● Enable Screen Savers
● Use Personal Photos as Screen Savers
● Disable Screen Savers
Enable Screen Savers
The screen saver automatically starts each time your phone is idle for a certain amount of time. When you
enable the screen saver, you can choose to have your phone either display default photos stored on the
phone, or the idle browser (see View the Idle Browser).
To enable a screen saver:
1 Navigate to Settings > Basic > Preferences > Screen Saver.
On VVX 1500 phones, navigate to Menu > Settings > Basic > Preferences > Screen Saver.
2 From the Screen Saver screen, select Screen Saver and select Enabled.
3 Select Wait Time and enter the number of minutes the phone can wait after no activity before
displaying the screen saver.
You can enter any time between one and 9999 minutes. The default time is 15 minutes.
4 Select Type and select either Default or Idle Browser.
5 Press Save.
You can stop the screen saver at any time by pressing any key or touching the screen. When your phone is
idle again for a specified period of time, the screen saver starts again.
Use Personal Photos as Screen Savers
On VVX 401/411, 500/501, 600/601, and 1500 phones, you can enable your phone to display your personal
photos as a screen saver. To set up a screen saver of your pictures, you need to set up certain screen saver
settings, place your pictures on a USB flash drive, and attach the USB flash drive to the phone. See the
sectionOverview of Phone Hardware and Keys for the location of the USB port on your phone.
The pictures you use must have the following file type and size properties:
● File type: BMP, JPEG, or PNG
● Maximum size: 9999 x 9999 pixels
