Change the Background Picture
You can change the background picture that displays on your phone. By default, your screen displays a
blue background that is named Default. Your system administrator sets up the background images for
your phone. If no background images are set up, only the Default background is available.
You can also use a picture of your own as the background image for your phone by uploading photos and
using the Web Configuration Utility. See the section Access the Web Configuration Utility for more
information.
Note: File formats for background pictures
You can only upload and set only JPEG and bitmap files as your background picture for your
phone. When uploading a background picture for your phone, make sure the file name ends
with .jpg or .bmp. Other file formats do not display on the phone.
To change the background picture on your phone:
1 From Home view, tap Settings> Basic > Preferences > Background.
2 In the Background screen, tap the background image you want.
