Important information

This phone is intended for inexperienced users. The
factory settings only make available the functions
that are generally used most often. This manual
therefore concentrates primarily on these basic
functions.

Use menu option "User level settings" in the "Set­tings" menu to switch the phone from "Beginner
mode" to "Advanced mode". Additional functions
then become available to you.

Note: If you change phone settings in "Advanced

mode", these changes remain available
even if you later revert back to "Beginner
mode".

All options in the Main menu described in this man­ual are in the factory settings for the device. You
can mask the main menu options that you do not
intend to use via menu option "Visibility main menu"
in the "Settings" menu.

Safety information

 Only use the phone at places where it is permit-

ted. As a rule, use of mobile phones is prohibit­ed in hospitals, aircraft and at filling stations.

 Do not open the device yourself, and do not at-

tempt repairs on your own. Repairs may only be
performed by qualified specialists.

 Do not expose the phone to smoke, chemicals,

humidity, dust or excessive heat (direct sun­light).

 Keep the phone and accessories away from

children.

 The phone's speaker can be set to a

very loud volume. Check the volume
before use to avoid damaging your
hearing. Loud noises over longer pe­riods can result in hearing damage.

 When driving, only use this phone with an ap-

proved hands-free set. Observe the legal regula­tions specific to the country of use.

 Keep the phone 20cm from any implanted

pacemaker. Switch off the phone immediately if
you feel or suspect any impairment.

 Do not use any power supply unit other than the

one supplied.

10

 Only use original accessories and batteries.
 The phone is not waterproof. Avoid contact with

liquids.

 Do not rely exclusively on your mobile phone's

emergency function in emergencies. Establish­ing an emergency connection may not always
be possible for technical reasons.

 Dispose of the device and the battery in line with

environmental guidelines. Your local waste dis­posal provider offers collection points for elec­tronic waste and batteries. Do not dispose of the
device or battery in household rubbish or throw
into a fire.

 Please dispose of packaging materials in line

with local regulations.

Initial use

Installing the SIM card(s), memory card and battery

A SIM card, available from your phone
supplier, is required to use the phone.

The SIM card(s), battery and memory card must be
installed before the phone is used for the first time.

A memory card (not included) is required
to send multimedia messages (MMS), to

save photos with the integrated camera
and to record voice notes with the integrated re­corder. The Ergophone 6120/6121 supports Micro
SD memory cards with a capacity of up to 16 GB ­these can be purchased on the accessories market
and at electronics shops.

Fig. 3 Fig. 4

Remove the case cover on the back of the device to
insert the SIM card(s), the battery and a memory
card. Press the casing cover and slide it downward
until it can be removed (Fig. 1).

Slide the metal catch of the slot for the first SIM
card (SIM1) towards the top of the device and fold it
upward (Fig. 2). Exercise extra care here.

Carefully install the (first) SIM card in the card hold­er. After the card is inserted, the metal holder is
pushed forward, so that it secures the card and can
no longer slide upward (Illustration 3). Exercise ex­tra care here. If the metal holder does not slide easi­ly, it is usually an indication that the card is not in­serted correctly.

If you want to use the phone with two SIM cards,
install the second SIM card in the same way as the
slot next to it (underneath the emergency button).

13

The battery is inserted next (only possible in the
correct position - Fig. 4).

Then replace the case cover and slide it towards
the emergency button until it clicks into place.

Charging the battery

A charger and a power supply unit are supplied
with your phone.

Insert the small connector on the
power supply unit into the jack on
the rear of the charger cradle. The
side of the connector with the USB

logo must be facing the underside of
the charger cradle. If it is not easy to insert the con­nector into the jack, check the direction and avoid
applying force. Then plug the power supply unit in­to the socket.

Place the telephone in its closed position in the
charger; the battery now charges. During the charg­ing process, the red battery LED at the front of the
device blinks. When the charging process is com­plete, the battery LED goes out.

Instead of charging via the charger cradle, the
power supply plug can also be connected directly
to the jack on the side of the telephone. The battery
can also be charged via a computer's USB con-

14

nector. In both cases, the USB logo on the con­nector must be facing the front of the phone.

Battery performance diminishes over time. If you
notice after a time that you need to recharge your
phone more frequently, replace the battery.

For safety reasons, the battery switches off be­fore it is totally discharged. If you have not used
the telephone for a long time, wait up to 10
minutes after you have plugged in the charger.
This switches the battery back on and the charg­ing process starts.

Switching on the phone

To switch on the phone, press the red hang up key
for 3 to 5 seconds .

You are then prompted to enter the SIM card PIN (if
enabled for the SIM card). Enter the PIN from the
keyboard, then press the display button on the left

(OK).

Note: In "Settings" "Security Settings", you

can change the SIM card PIN and ena­ble/disable the prompt.

15

Setting the date and time

After switching on for the first time (and when the
battery is removed for longer periods), the tele­phone automatically synchronises date and time
from the service provider network.

If your service provider does not support this func­tionality, the date and time must be set manually.

To do this, press the left Display key under
"Menu", then keep pressing the "down arrow" key

until "Settings" is displayed. Then press the

key under "OK" three times to access "Set­tings", then "Phone Settings", then "Time and date".
Select "Set date" then "Set time", and use the key­pad to enter the current date and time.

You can close the settings by repeatedly pressing
the key under "Back", and also by pressing the
red hang-up key once.

The correct date and time are then shown on the
display.

16

display depending on your current situation.

General information on using the phone

The left and right Display keys have different
functions depending on the status of the device.

disables Silent mode.

The key enables you to toggle between upper
and lower case during the text entry of, for example,
an SMS or a name in Contacts.

Custom setup

An ergonomic telephone should be simple to use
and make communication more easy for the user.
At the same time it should also meet your needs,
however individual they may be. The tiptel Ergo­phone [phone] enables you to customise the
phone to your needs in a special way.

Note: Some of these functions can only be set in

"Advanced mode", but are also available af­terwards in "Beginner mode".

Using the phone as you want to

Are you a new user wanting a mobile that enables
you to "only" make and receive calls quickly and
easily, or are you an experienced user who attaches
importance to comprehensive functionality?

"Tell" this to your tiptel Ergophone 6120/6121 under
Settings Userlevel settings.
