If the network icon appears, it is possible to make calls on your operator‘s network. If the letter
R and a network name are displayed, calls are possible on the network of a different operator.

7. Using your phone
Keeping the antenna free
The antenna is integrated in your phone.

If your fingers obstruct the antenna, the phone may have to operate with
a higher power level than usual thus decreasing its efficiency quickly.
It could also affect the quality of your communications.
Non-ionised radiation
It is best to use your phone in a vertical position.
Your personal safety is thus greater.

Increasing the battery duration of your phone
- Only press the keys when it is truly necessary. Every keystroke activates the background light
and with that increases power use.
- Do not cover the antenna with your fingers.
Charging the battery
Your phone is supplied with power via a rechargeable battery. Before a
new battery can be used for the first time it must have been charged for
at least 8 hours. The full battery performance is only obtained after a few
operating cycles.
If the battery charge level decreases below the operating value, the
phone will indicate this (the empty battery symbol flashes). When this
appears charge the battery for at least 15 minutes before making any
other calls, in order to prevent your discussion from being interrupted.
Proceed as follows to charge the battery:
Connect the charger to a wall outlet.
Version x.com 50x –Ex / 60x –Ex:
- Remove the safety lock!
Place the end of the cable into the lower phone connection.
The phone‘s battery will now be charged.
The scrolling battery symbol indicates that the battery is being
charged. When the battery is fully charged the charging process
stops automatically. Pull out the cable from the phone.
Version x.com 50x –Ex / 60x –Ex:
- Set up the safety lock.
Batteries can easily become warm during the charging process.
This is a normal occurrence.
WARNING – There is a risk of explosion if the battery is not replaced properly or is exposed to
a flame. Do not short-circuit the battery. The batter does not contain parts that can be replaced.
The casing of the battery should not be opened under any circumstances. Only use chargers
and batteries authorised by ecom instruments GmbH. The use of other chargers or batteries
may be dangerous. In this case, you will lose your warranty rights.
Used batteries are to be properly disposed of.
If you do not use the phone for a prolonged period, you should remove the battery. It is strongly
advised that you do not place your phone in the charger if the battery is not installed. The
charger is a transformer. It is a security relevant component and may not under any circumstances be altered or replaced by another component (simple power plug, etc.). If the battery is
completely discharged, the phone cannot be switched on. Connect the phone to the charger.
After charging for a few minutes, the phone will turn on. When the Start option appears on the
screen you can turn on the phone again
8. Phonebook
Using the phonebook
Open the Phonebook menu. If contacts were already furnished, the contact list will be displayed (corresponding information can be found in Storing a new contact). When a contact is
selected, an icon is displayed in the title bar:
contact saved on the SIM card
contact saved in the phone
contact saved in the Fixed dialling. See PIN2 number and Fixed dialling in Security menu
for more details about this activation.
You can search for a contact quickly by typing the first letters (up to three). You can display it
by pressing [OK].
