M9500
Basic Information
The M9500 features a simple user interface and is still a full-fledged
smartphone with a camera, an internet connection (WiFi access or data
carrier provided by the mobile operator) and other features familiar to
traditional smartphones.
Hearing aid compatibility
This telephone is equipped with T Coil coupler making it compatible
with most popular hearing aids. Due to the wide range of hearing
aids available there is no guarantee that the telephone will function
with all hearing aid models. Please check your hearing aid immunity rating
is higher than M2. This rating 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 hearing 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 function on your hearing aids.

1.3 Insert SIM Card(s), Memory Card and Battery
Possible risk of swallowing small parts!
The SIM card can be removed. Small children could swallow it.
Please make sure that the SIM card is not bent or scratched.
Avoid contact with water, dirt, or electrical charges.
Your phone number is on the SIM card, and is not stored on the phone.
If you use the SIM card from your previous phone then you will keep
your phone number. It is highly recommended to copy your phone contacts from your previous phone to the SIM card before removing the
SIM card and inserting it into the M9500.
• The phone must be powered off!
• Remove the back cover by sliding a fingernail in the small slot found on
the bottom side of the phone, and pulling the cover up.

• If a battery is inserted, remove it.
• The M9500 offers two equivalent SIM card holders in different sizes (slot
1 for standard SIM cards used in older mobile phones, and slot 2 for
micro SIM cards commonly used in smartphones). Depending on the
format of your SIM card, you can choose which SIM card holder you want
to use. Insert the SIM card(s) into the SIM card holder(s) with the gold
contacts facing down as shown in the sketch. Pay attention to the
position of the bevelled corner.
In addition, the device supports the simultaneous operation of two SIM
cards. This enables you to use cards from two different networks and/or
countries. Before making an outgoing call, sending a text message or
using data services the phone will prompt you to decide and chose which
SIM Card to use if you are using two at that time (depending on Android:
Settings -> Advanced settings -> SIM cards).

NOTE: Both card slots (1=Standard SIM, 2=Micro SIM) support LTE (4G).
However, if you use two SIM cards at a time, the SIM card in slot 2 is
limited to UMTS/GSM (3G/2G).
• You have the option to insert a micro SD card (max. 32 GB) to increase
the storage capacity. Slide the memory card, with the golden contacts
facing down, into the slot until it stops.
• Insert the battery. In doing so, the battery’s contacts will be on the left and
point up. Press lightly on the bottom end of the battery until it snaps into
place (as shown above).
• Place the back cover back onto the phone and press firmly all around the
edges until it snaps into place.
1.4 Charging the battery
• Ensure that the battery is correctly installed before charging. Do not
remove the battery while the phone is charging. The phone could be
damaged as a result.
• When first starting your phone charge the battery for at least 4 hours.
Some batteries only reach their full capacity after multiple complete
charging/discharging cycles.
• Insert the small plug of the charger into the mini USB charging socket (22
in the figure), ensuring the plug is inserted the correct way around. Do
not use excessive force when inserting the plug.
• Connect the charger. For safety reasons use only the charger delivered
with phone.
1.5 Battery status
The current battery charge status is indicated in the display.
When the battery charge is low, a corresponding warning message appears
in the display. Charge the battery.
When the battery charge drops below the minimum status, the phone
switches off automatically.

1.6 Turning On/Off your Mobile Phone
To turn on your phone hold the On-Off button (14 in the figure) at the side of
the phone down until the display lights up. Depending on the setting of your
SIM card you will then be prompted to enter your PIN.
Enter the SIM PIN and then click . The phone will log
onto the mobile phone network.
Note: The SIM-Code (the SIM card PIN), which you
received together with the SIM card, protects the SIM
card from use by unauthorized persons. The PIN2 code,
which you will receive together with certain SIM cards, is
required for access to certain services. If you enter the
PIN, or PIN2, incorrectly three times in a row you will be
prompted to enter the PUK or the PUK2 code. Please
contact your mobile phone company if you do not know
these codes.
To turn off your phone press “More“ -> “3“ -> “Power off“ and answer the
confirmation query.

actual operation of the phone.
The touch screen should not be scratched. Do not touch it with sharp
