Installing SIM card and battery

Before starting to operate the device SIM card and battery have to be
installed.

The SIM card is not part of the scope of delivery. You can obtain such
a card from your service provider. Handle the SIM card with care and
avoid touching the electrical contacts of the card.

Before installing SIM card and battery the rear cover of the device will
have to be removed. In order to do so put a finger nail under the lug
of the cabinet cover (between USB charging jack and headset con­nector), pull it backwards, and then remove the cabinet cover.

Install the SIM card carefully as shown here in the
SIM card holder. This holder is located at the bot­tom side of the telephone.

The SIM card with its contacts facing the tele­phone's bottom side will have to be shifted be­tween the contacts of the phone and the metal

holder. The gap in the cabinet must correspond with the direction of
the SIM card. The SIM card must exactly fit in the gap.

Then the battery has to be installed with its
three contact fingers matching the three
contact pins of the phone at the upper left
below the SOS button. The battery will first
have to be positioned against the contact
fingers. Then it has to be inserted by minor
pressure from the bottom side into the gap
of the phone.

Finally refit the cabinet cover. It has to be put on the phone so that
the cover lies on the phone without any gaps. Then - as the last step ­press it down until it clicks into place.

Switching on the phone

Press the hang-up key (button with red handset) for 3 - 5 seconds un­til the display is lit.

Then the PIN (personal identification number) of your SIM card is be­ing requested. This 4 digit number you will find in the documents of
your SIM card. Enter those 4 digits of the PIN via the keypad and then
press the call key (key with green handset).

Note: The PIN of your SIM card can be changed via the settings

of your phone and you can also switch of the PIN query
which comes when switching on the phone.

Now the telephone can be used.

tings" by using the key again and then press the dial key.

In the settings menu select "Phone Settings" with the key and then

In the telephone settings menu then select "Clock Settings" with the

Use the digit keys for entering the hour and the selection will move to

13:06 o'clock you will first have to enter 13 and then 06. Then press
the dial key to save your settings.

Then select "Time Format" with the key and then use the key
again whether you wish the "24 Hours Format" or the "AM/PM" dis­play. Finally confirm your choice with the dial key.

"13:30", in AM/PM format it is "01:30 PM". Factory preset is
"24 hour format" as being used in most European coun­tries. If you wish to keep this format there is no need to
change anything with these settings.

Now use the key to select "Set Date" and confirm this with the dial
key. Enter the current date by using the digit keys in format
DD:MM:YYYY, i.e. first the day, then the month (both as 2 digits) and
then the year (4 digits). For 23 June 2010 you will first have to enter
23, then 06 and then 2010. Confirm your settings with the dial key.

Charging the batteries

Your telephone comes along with a charger cradle and an AC adap­tor belonging to that cradle. Connect the small plug of the AC adaptor
to the jack at the backside of the cradle and the connect the AC
adaptor to a mains wall outlet.

Put the telephone in the charger cradle and the battery will be
charged. During the charging process the right bar segment of the
charger control display will flash in the display. As soon as the charg­ing process has finished the flashing stops and all segments in that
display are fully shown.

Note: Instead of charging the phone via the cradle the plug of

the AC adaptor can also be directly connected to the jack
at the bottom side of the phone. And the battery can also
be charged via the USB connector of a Computer.

Before using the phone for the first time fully charge the battery. To
save battery life time only place the phone in the cradle when the bat­tery is nearly depleted (only one or two bars of the battery condition
segment are shown).

With an new and fully charged battery the phone can be operated for
up to 210 hours (more than 8 days)when you do not take or place
any calls. After some 170 minutes (2.8 hours) call time the battery will
need to be charged again. Depending on the duration of your calls
re-charging the battery usually is needed once a week. In the course
of time the battery will lose capacity. If you realize after some time that
the battery needs re-charging in shorter intervals you should replace
the battery.

The telephone comprises speed dialling keys to which you can save
frequently called phone numbers.

These speed dialling keys can be used in the phone's stand by mode
by pressing the keys -,  and  for some 2 seconds. The indi­vidually assigned phone number will then be dialled automatically. If
there are no numbers assigned instead of that you will see a query
whether or not you wish to assign a number. Then you can assign a
number from the phone book to the speed dial key pressed.

Key  carries the icon of a female head while key  has a male head
printed on it. These two keys can be used to assign as speed dial
numbers the numbers of e.g. daughter an son. Key  is also avail­able for speed dialling. Usually this key is used for the number of your
answering machine.

Note: In order to assign numbers to the speed dial keys this way

the desired number first has to be saved to the phone
book. Using the main menu

phone book also allows

you to directly enter speed dial numbers.

up showing its first entry.

free. Then you will hear the other party from the big loudspeaker at
the backside of the device.
