annoying, 3 note acending alert tone

every 40min or so while the bluetooth headset is paired to my v551 i get a
very annoying, 3 note acending alert tone telling me, i believe, that the
bluetooth power is on and draining the battery. but . . . i already know
that . . . i like it that way but that alert is driving me crazy and hey . .
.. i don't have that far to go! i fixed a misbehaving watch years ago, with
a framing hammer but the watch was only worth 20 bucks!

so i looked and looked in the manual and this ng but i cant find where to
turn off the alert. if there even is that option

whew

If you can't find ring styles on your own then I think you have bigger
problems than an annoying tone.

There should be a "Ring Styles".
You are saying you have "Audio": it's probably in there, then, innit?

Please pardon this message's formatting, as this is my first post on the forum. As you know by now, the V551 instruction manual is lousy, so I can't be sure this will help. I do have a BT (Jabra) headset, and my phone has not ever given me a warning alert, but if such a setting exists, I suggest it must be under "audio." Here is the key: for the V551, there are separate "alert" settings that can be personalized for each of the "ring status" settings the phone can be on. So, for example, you can pick a host of sounds the phone will make when you have the phone on the "loud" audio setting. And yet another for "Soft," for "vibrate," and "vibrate then ring," and for "silent." In V551 nomenclature, each of these is called a "Ring Detail," and to get to one, push menu/settings/Audio : when you get here the menu will show you where the phone is set (and it allows you to change the detail at this location, although it is much easier to do with the side-buttons when the flip is closed) -- to see all the different types of rings you can be alerted with, select "Loud ring detail" (or, "Soft Ring Detail", etc.). Under any of the details, you are permitted to pick ringtones for Calls, Txt Messages, Voicemail, Alarms, Data Calls and Fax Calls. Finally, you can opt whether to to allow individualized ringer IDs to play and last but not least, you can allow "reminders" to be on or off. Now, that may refer to a Bluetooth Headset reminder, OR to a calendar reminder -- I don't know. But, seems to me this is where it would be done. It sure doesn't exist under the Bluetooth poweron/poweroff menu. Why not go into these menus and turn "reminders" off. Worth a try. Then I'd try calling the support number for whoever makes your headset. They might know.

thanks for the help. i had selected silent which gives no option to change
the detail. this obnoxious sound isn't in the detail list. im not sure if
the phone even makes it. could be the headset
