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 "Ad-
vanced 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.

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 6180/6181 supports Micro
SD memory cards with a capacity of up to 8 GB these can be purchased on the accessories market
and at electronics shops.

The casing cover on the back of the device must be
removed to insert the SIM card, a memory card and
the battery. To do this, insert a fingernail into the
notch in the bottom left corner and remove the case
cover (Fig. 1).
Carefully install the SIM card(s) into the card holder(s). Push the SIM card under the metal clamp with
the contacts pointing downwards and the notch facing upwards (Fig. 2).
Push the SD memory card into the card holder on
the right with the contacts facing down (Fig. 2).
The battery is inserted next (only possible in the
correct position - Fig. 3).
Then replace the casing cover and press it on all
sides until it clicks into place (Fig. 4).

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. 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 connector.
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
14
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
keypad, then press the display button on the left
(Display OK).
Note: In "Settings" "Security Settings",
you can change the SIM card PIN and
enable/disable the prompt.
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
15
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.

phone to your needs in a special way.

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