MIDIRingTones - Toshiba CDM 9500
User Guide


Overview

The MIDIRingTones application allows you to download mobile entertainment to your phone.  On your Toshiba CDM 9500 you can download polyphonic ringtones.

The great part about using the US Cellular Download Shop is that you don’t need anything except your cellular phone to preview, purchase, and enjoy mobile entertainment.

The purpose of this manual is to give you a general overview and a few pointers on using the MIDIRingTones application.  If you ever get stuck, just give us a holler at brewsupport@midiringtones.com!

Getting Started

The first step is to get MIDIRingTones onto your phone.  Once you have navigated to the US Cellular Download Shop on your phone, select the ringtone category and look for the MIDIRingTones Application. 

You will be required to purchase credits at this point.  Put simply, one credit equals one ringtone.  We give you a few choices, but the more credits you buy the better deal it becomes (and we will all be happier for it).

After this the application will be downloaded to your phone.  This may take a minute, but fear not, it only has to be downloaded once.  After that you are ready to start the MIDIRingTones application and start surfing for that killer tone.

Menu Choices

If you are looking for a new ringtone for your phone, this is a great place to start!  After selecting the ringtone option the application will download a list of categories to choose from.  This will take a few seconds but it assures you that you always have the latest and greatest ringtones to choose from.

Now you need to choose a category.  If you are just browsing you may want to look at the latest and most popular categories.  If you are like us you will go straight to the 80’s and look for hair bands, but that is just us.  You have thousands of ringtones to choose from so take a look around have some fun.

Fox Music has so many cool songs that they deserve to be highlighted.  After you select Fox Music you will find some of your favorite Fox TV and movie themes just a button press away.  Everything from The Simpsons to Bernie Mac right at your finger tips!

Use this option to search for ringtones.  To search, type in the first few letters of the title or the artist name and press the center key.

Select this to get some help while you are browsing.  If you are reading this document you hopefully have all the help you need, but you may find some additional tips in our help section.

Previewing Ringtones

You want to hear it or see it before you purchase, well we make that easy!  Whenever you select a ringtone a little menu comes up letting you preview or purchase the tone.  Select preview and you can hear what you are about to purchase.  Keep in mind the phone needs to download the content, so it will take a couple of seconds but you will be sure you are buying exactly what you wanted!

Purchasing Ringtones

Found what you are looking for?  Purchasing is easy.  After you select a ringtone a little menu will come up asking you to preview or purchase.  Select purchase and you will come up with a confirmation screen letting you know what you are about to purchase and how many credits you have remaining.

If everything looks good, press the center key and your new ringtone will be downloaded and saved on your phone!

Using Your Ringtones

Ok, obviously the fun part is using your new content.  Good news, once you make a purchase you are just about done.  The next step is to exit the MIDIRingTones application by pressing the red end key (don’t forget to keep coming back, we add new content daily!).  From the phone’s Functions menu, select Tones, then select Download.  Now just scroll up and down, find the ringer you want and press the center key.  You are done!  Enjoy what we hope is the hippest phone on your block.

n       TIP:  To find your downloaded tones faster, scroll up when you are in the ringtone list.  This will quickly get you to the end of the list where the latest ringtones are listed.

Frequently Asked Stuff

How do I get MIDIRingTones on my phone?

What if I don’t see the ringtone I want?

We typically put out new ringtones daily, so our catalog is growing fast.  But before we can make a song into a ringtone, we need to obtain the rights from the music publishers.  Feel free to go to www.midiringtones.com/requests/ and request the song you want and we’ll see what we can do!  We can’t guarantee we’ll add it though, as there are some writers that do not allow their songs to be made into ringtones.
