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.

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.

5

• If a battery is inserted, remove it.

SIM1

SD

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).

6

• 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.

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.
