Composer Instructions For Nokia Mobile Phones


Here's how to use the Nokia Composer to enter a tone.

Notes

Enter notes a - g by pressing keys 1 - 7

1 = c
2 = d
3 = e
4 = f
5 = g
6 = a
7 = b

Duration

Decrease by pressing 8
Increase by pressing 9
Duration steps from 1 to 32 (32 shortest, 1 longest - 1 second)

Octaves

Press * to cycle through all three octaves

Pause

Add a pause by pressing 0. You can increase or decrease the pause using
keys 8 and 9 as usual.

Sharp (Slighter higher tone)

To use a sharp press the hash (#) key. A # symbol appears next to the note.

Dotted Note

To create a dotted note (a note with a short pause) press the note-key (1-7)
and hold for a second. A  '.' (dot)  will appear next to the note.

Tips

If you are entering a large tune, it is always best to save the
tune part way through.

Some Earlier Nokia phones occasionally 'locked up' resulting in the composed tune being lost,
remember, if you change the tempo, you must save the tune again.

Practice makes perfect !
