RingTone Converter	This program convert RTTTL (Ringing Tone Text Transfer Language) file in 3210 Nokia format. (3210, 8210 models) There are two ways to use this program.  With Method 1 you can select a file to load and convert, while Method 2 allows you to type or paste the Nokring RTTTL text from another web page straight in to convert. Method 1 Click on an RTTTL (Ringing Tone Text Transfer Language) file.  The converted Nokia 3210 format will be displayed in the converter composer window.  You then type the actual keypress sequence straight into the Composer (you don't even need to know how to use the Composer). Check the results by comparing your phone Composer display to the Composer display in the program. Method 2 Copy the ringing tone RTTTL text from a web page.  Make sure you ONLY get the RTTTL text and no other characters.  In the converter program (RTTTL Text tab), click Paste to paste the text in the box.  Click convert.  You then type the actual keypress sequence straight into the Composer (you don't even need to know how to use the Composer). Check the results by comparing your phone Composer display to the Composer display in the program. Show Keypresses Option This check box, if checked, displays the ringing tone as the exact keypress sequence required to enter the tone.  Simply type in every key as it is displayed on the screen.  If it says (hold 5), hold the key (in this case 5) down fo a couple of seconds until the . appears.
Limitations	The Nokia 3210 is more limited on ring tone features compared to other phones and therefore some tones won't work fully. Be aware of the following: 1. The 3210 has a 50 note/entry capacity whereas other phones tend to have a larger capacity. 2. There are only three octaves not 4 like on some other phones. The program will incorrectly report an octave number of 4 instead of 1, 2 or 3. When this happens you will need to shift the whole tune down or up an octave if possible.
