Operating instructions

Basic Information

The SWITEL eSmart M2 is a Smartphone customized for special needs with an Android 5.1 operating system. In addition to the “normal” options on a Smartphone it offers a special user interface with large, clearly arranged menu items, an especially large display, increased handset volume, and an emergency call button. In this manual only the specific features for operation in "SWITEL mode" are described. This is kept deliberately simple. If you want to use more settings and options, you can operate the unit in "Android" mode. For information about the features of the operating system "Android 5.1" please use the relevant sources on the Internet. To change the operating system from the "SWITEL mode" to “Android mode“ open “Settings“ -> “Advanced Settings" -> "Operating System". After the change, a restart of the phone is necessary for proper function.

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, because your telephone number is allocated to the SIM card and is not stored on the phone.

• 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.

SIM1

SIM2

• Your phone 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 (Switel OS: Settings -> Advanced settings -> SIM cards / Android: 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. 64 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, 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, top left, down until the display lights up. Depending on the setting of your SIM card you may 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.

If you press down the On/Off button on your phone for approx. 2 seconds, when it is turned on, the turn-off dialogue box will be displayed.

Make a selection by tapping the respective entry:

- Power off: turn off the phone

- Reboot: restart

- Screenshot: saving a screenshot to the gallery. You can also make a screenshot by pressing and holding the On/Off button and the Volume down button simultaneously for approx 3 seconds.

- Airplane mode: Turn on/off airplane mode

By selecting (blue line) the symbols in the bottom line you can choose between (from left to right) Silent, Vibrate and Normal ring.

1.7 First use

When you turn on your phone for the first time, you will be guided by an assistant. You’ll see a Welcome screen. Choose the language you want and touch the arrow to continue. Note: To complete the setup process, it’s best to have a Wi-Fi connection.
