Select Silent then you get three option - Activate Personalise and Timed. Select Timed. You are then given the option of setting the time the profile expires. The phone reverts to the previous Profile, eg General. I used to use this to set it to Office (where I had it set to ring once then just vibrate so that I could hear it but not continue to disturb others if it was on my desk unattended) and then when I got out of the office at 5pm it would ring normally and I could hear it more easily from the depthsof my handbag.
