Tip #1: Changing the Navigation Key Shortcuts
Each of the four Navigation keys (up, down, right, left) can be set as a shortcut to an application or menu.
To change the shortcuts, go to Menu > Settings > Phone > Shortcuts. Select the Navigation key to be changed, and press the Options soft key. Select Change, and choose between None, My Stuff, AppCenter, Contacts, Recent Calls, Create New Message, Mobile Email, My Messages, IM, Media Player, Wallpaper, Ringtone, Calendar, Tasks, Bluetooth, Record Audio, Converter, Settings, Voice Recognition, Alarms, World Clock, Calculator, Games, and Security.
Select the desired option and press Save. Repeat the steps to change the other three keys.
Tip #2: Unanswered Push to Talk Calls
Remind customers that while unanswered or declined voice calls will be directed to voicemail where the caller can leave a message, unanswered Push to Talk calls do not go to voicemail.
Tip #3: Rejecting a Push to Talk Call
Users can reject a PTT call without even opening the phone. When an unwanted PTT call is received, the user can push and hold the Volume key on the left side of the phone until the external screen displays Call Ended.
Tip #4: Converting a Push to Talk Call to a Wireless Call
Convert an in-progress PTT call to a wireless call by touching the Options soft key and selecting Convert to Cellular. The user’s PTT call will become a wireless call. However, the other caller’s status is not affected unless the participant also converts the call to cellular.
Tip #5: Refuse Anonymous and Advertising Messages
Users can block multimedia messages that are sent anonymously or ones that the phone identifies as advertising. To enable these features, go to Menu > Messaging > Messaging Settings > Multimedia Message > Receiving Options.
Select Reject Anonymous to check the box beside it. Repeat with the Reject Advertisement option. Press Save to update the messaging settings.
Tip #6: Water Resistant vs. Waterproof
The Samsung Rugby II is water resistant – not waterproof, which means that it can withstand conditions up to a certain extent. It is made up of components that can withstand water, such as blowing rain and high humidity, and can even survive limited submersion in water.
Tip #7: Using GPS to Set a Pedestrian Route
AT&T Navigator blazes a trail not only for drivers, but for pedestrians too. To retrieve a walking route rather than a driving route, press the GPS shortcut key.
Select Drive To, and enter an address. As the GPS begins plotting the route, press the Edit soft key and choose Route Style. Scroll to Pedestrian and select Go. AT&T Navigator will display the route, along with distance and estimated walking time.

Tip #10: Activating the Camera
Because the Samsung Rugby II is a PTT phone, it doesn’t allow for an additional key on the side of the phone for accessing the camera. The camera can be activated by going to Menu > My Stuff > Tools > Camera. Or, users can press the left soft key to access Shortcuts. By default, the camera is the first shortcut listed.
Tip #11: Customizing the My Shortcuts Key
When pressed, the left soft key accesses My Shortcuts, and by default, it houses nine shortcuts, with three remaining empty to be customized by the user. Scroll down to an empty selection and press the Options soft key, and Assign.
Users can select from PTT, Messaging, Mobile Email, Mobile Web, AppCenter, YPmobile, AT&T GPS, Address Book, AT&T Music, My Stuff, Mobile Video, and Settings.
