Startup Problems With a Cingular 8525
- If you prefer a landscape screen orientation rather than the default portrait orientation on the 8525, you can switch it using the Screen settings. Use the stylus to tap Start, Settings, System and Screen. Choose the orientation you prefer.
- When the Cingular 8525 is turned on for the first time, the calibration process must be completed before the phone is used. If the screen isn't properly calibrated after the initial calibration, it can be recalibrated by pushing Start, Settings, System Tab, Screen, General and Align Screen.
- The Cingular 8525 Today Screen displays important information, such as appointments and notes. Upon startup, you might wish to change the default Today Screen background image. To change the image or adjust additional incorrect Today Screen settings, access the settings menu by tapping Start, Settings, Personal and Today with the stylus.
- If the display is frozen on startup, perform a soft reset. Remove the stylus from the phone and use the sharp end to push the Reset button on the bottom of the phone. The phone will restart.
