Hearing aid compatibility
This telephone is equipped with T Coil coupler making it com-
patible with most popular hearing aids. Due to the wide range
of hearing aids available there is no guarantee that the tele-
phone will function with all hearing aid models. Please check
your hearing aid immunity rating is higher than M2. This rat-
ing can be provided by the manufacturer of your hearing aid.
Instruments with rating lower than M2 may not be compatible
with this telephone. When using this telephone press the ‘T’
button on your hearing aid to switch it to Telecoil mode, this
will link your hearing aid to the phone and will enable clearer
sound without background noises. Please check if your hear-
ing aid is equipped with ‘T’ facility and if it is automatic or
manual. Hearing aids with high immunity rating equipped
with automatic T mode should be able to detect your phone
automatically and switch over to T position. Hearing aids with
Manual T function would need manual activation of this func-
tion on your hearing aids.

Some SIM cards will require you to enter a PIN code. Fol-
low the prompts on the screen.
The SIM code (PIN of the SIM card) that you received with
your SIM card, protects the SIM card against unauthori-
sed use. The PIN2 code supplied with some SIM cards,
you need to access certain services. If you enter the PIN
or PIN2 code incorrectly three times in a row, you will be
prompted to enter the PUK or PUK2 code. Check with
your provider if you do not know these codes.
Make sure you are in range of your Network
Some networks offer better coverage than others in diffe-
rent areas. The icon indicates you have a signal and

Questions and Answers
In the majority of cases your M8000 phone is supplied
with out a SIM card. You may find the following “Questi-
ons and Answers“ (Q & A) helpful.
Why hasn’t the mobile phone been supplied with a SIM
card?
Many people already have a mobile phone and wish to
transfer their existing SIM card over to the new phone.
This has the advantage of keeping the same telephone

number and if the card is subscribed to a Pay−as−you−go
service then you also benefit from being able to carry
over any credit that has been paid on the card.
Where can I get a SIM card from?
Any high street mobile phone shop will be able to provide
you with a SIM card. Some of the major supermarket
chains also provide mobile phone services and can supply
a SIM card. A useful tip when choosing a SIM card / ser-
vice provider however is to make sure that you have ade-
quate signal coverage at home; this is particularly impor-
tant if you live in a very rural area.
Why doesn’t the mobile phone have a telephone num-
ber?
The telephone number is supplied by the service provider
and will be registered onto the SIM card.

QUICK START GUIDE
Can I use the SIM card from my old mobile phone?
Yes as long as the SIM card is less than three years old
you can transfer the card over. Some old SIM cards howe-
ver are not compatible with the Amplicomms mobile
phone as they are from an earlier generation of SIM card
design.
Can I use a SIM card from any mobile phone company?
Yes. The Amplicomms mobile phone is what is termed as
an open SIM card phone and so it is not restricted to any
particular service provider or mobile phone company.
How do I pay for my calls?
There are two main types of registration with a service
provider or mobile phone company. One is a contract −
this is where you sign up for an agreed contract over
several months / year and pay an agreed monthly fee.
This is more suited to people who are using their mobile

QUICK START GUIDE
phone as part of their job for example. The other is
Pay−as−you−go, sometimes abbreviated to PAYG. With
this type of service you add credit to the card and top up
as and when required. Topping up the card is easy, you
can do this over the phone, on−line, at many shops and
even some cash points allow you to do this. PAYG is
more suited to less frequent users.
How do I find out my credit balance?
The service provider of the SIM card should have provi-
ded an information pack with the card. This will give
details of a short number to dial in order to check your
balance. These access codes differ between mobile phone
companies so please check the details specific to your ser-
vice provider. Key in your number, press the talk button
and the credit balance will be announced to you.

QUICK START GUIDE
What does 2G/3G network mean?
3G is a third generation mobile communications standard
(UMTS / Universal Mobile Telecommunications System),
with which significantly higher data transfer rates are pos-
sible than with the second generation (2G) mobile com-
munications standard, the GSM standard (Global System
for Mobile Communications).
For a mobile telephone conversation, however, it is irrele-
vant which standard is available; the advantages of the
higher transfer rates only apply to data applications.
