You can set your BlackBerry smartphone to play specific alert-sounds and/or vibrate while in a compatible holster with sleeper magnet, whenever e-mail messages, phone calls or application notifications are received.

To set in-holster profile settings, first choose the profile you want to modify and then open it by clicking the Profiles key, located in the top-left corner of your BlackBerry 6 smartphone's home screen. Next, scroll all the way down to bottom of your profile list and click the Change Sounds and Alerts option. (Note: By selecting this option, you're modifying only the active profile. In other words, you need to set each individual profiles as active to change settings for those specific profiles.)

To modify your in-holster notification settings for phone calls, click to open the Phone Ring Tone listing within Change Sounds and Alerts. Then change the Play Sound option to Always, In holster or Out of holster.

Finally, modify the holster settings for the Vibrate listing on the same page, based on your preferences, save your changes and you're all set.

To modify holster setting for e-mail, text messages and a variety of other applications, return to the Change Sounds and Alerts page, and choose Sounds for Selected Profile this time around. On the following page, select the appropriate message-inbox, application, etc., for which you want to customize in-holster settings. Then follow the process detailed above to customize each individual in-holster sound- and vibration-alert.
