Installing the SIM card and battery

Before the telephone is first used, the SIM card and battery need to
be installed.

The SIM card is not provided with the device. Your service provider
will provide one. Handle the SIM card with care and avoid touching its
contacts.

To insert the SIM card and
the battery, the casing cover
at the back of the device must
be removed. To do this,
press on the point indicated
in white in the picture with
your thumbs, and then push
the cover downwards.

Bringing into service

9

Push the SIM card into the
SIM card bracket, as
shown. The SIM card is
pushed, with the card's
contacts underneath, be­tween the telephone's con-

tacts and the metal retain­ing clip. The hollow in the casing must be in the same direction as the
SIM card. The SIM card must fit precisely into the hollow.

The battery is then insert-

ed. The three contacts on

the battery must point to

the three contact pins on

the telephone on the top

left beneath the SOS but-

ton.

The battery is initially place on the top, on the contacts, with the hol­low in the battery engaging with the guide on the casing. The battery
is then pressed down from above into the hollow in the telephone.

Then replace the casing cover and press it till it clicks into place.

Switching on the telephone

Press the hang up button (with the red telephone receiver) for 3–
5 seconds until the display lights up.

The first time the telephone is switched on, you will be asked which
language you prefer. Select “English” here and then press the dial
key

(with the green telephone receiver).

You will then be prompted (if it has been enabled) to enter your SIM
card PIN (personal identification number). You will find this four digit
number in the documentation for your SIM card. Use the keypad to
enter the four numbers, and then press the dial key

.

Bringing into service

10

Note: You can change your SIM card PIN using the telephone

settings, and you can also disable the PIN prompt given
when the telephone is switched on.

The telephone is now ready to be used.

Setting the time and date

After the telephone has been switched on for the first time (and after
removing the battery), the time and date need to be set.

To do this, press the

key, then use the key in the main

menu to select the "Settings" entry, and then press the dial key

.

In the Settings menu, select "Phone settings" and press the dial key

again.

Then, in the Phone Settings menu, select the "Time and Date" entry,
and press the dial key

again.

The time appears in the HH:MM (hours:minutes) format, and the
hours item is currently selected. Use the number keys to enter the
current hour. The minutes item is then selected. Use the number keys
to enter the current minutes. So, to set the time to 13:06, you would
need to first enter 13 and then 06. Then press the

key to enter

the date.

Use the number keys to enter the current date in the YYYY:MM:DD
format, i.e. first the year (four digits), then the month and then the day
(both two digits). So, for the 23rd August 2011, you would first have
to enter 2011, then 08, and then 23. Confirm your entries with the
hang up key

.

Then press the hang up key

several times until the telephone is
back to its base status. The correct time and date should now be
shown in the display.

Charging the battery

Your telephone is delivered with a charger and the corresponding
power supply unit. Insert the small connector on the power supply
unit into the jack at the rear of the charger, then connect the power
supply unit to the wall socket.

Put the telephone in the charger. The battery will now be charged.
The right-hand bar segment in the charge status display will flash on
and off in the display while it is charging. As soon as it is fully
charged, all the segments in the display will be filled in. The charge
status display will no longer be flashing.

Note: Instead of charging via the charger, the power supply plug

can also be connected directly to the jack on the under­side of the telephone. The battery can also be charged via
a computer USB jack.

Before initial operation, completely charge the battery. To preserve
the battery, thereafter only place the telephone in the charger once
the battery is almost empty (when only 1-2 bars in the charge status
display are filled in).

Depending on the duration of your phone calls, you will usually need
to recharge the battery about once a week. Over time, battery per­formance diminishes. If you notice after a time that you have to re­charge you telephone more frequently, replace the battery.

Speed dialling

This telephone features speed dial keys on which frequently-dialled
numbers can be saved.

When the phone is in standby, these speed dial keys are called up by
pressing digits

- for about 2 seconds. The corresponding saved

number is then automatically dialled.

Note: To use the speed dial keys, the function needs to be ena-

bled and the speed dial codes entered. Both of these are
done via the main menu Settings Speed dial set­tings.

Dialling with the quick phone book key

The tiptel Ergophone 6040 has the key for opening the quick
phone book. When this key is pressed, a list opens with all the con­tacts saved to the SIM card and the telephone, and showing the
number of the contact.

You can use the

Dialling with top contacts

You can open your top contacts with the key. When the key is
pressed, up to five top contacts are shown with their name and num­ber. You can use the

and keys to page through the top

contacts. Pressing the

key twice opens the selected top contact.

If "<Empty>" appears instead of the name and number, the top con­tact has not yet been set up. In this case, select "Edit" with the
key. You are then shown the contacts (see chapter "Phonebook").
You press the

 key

must be pressed three times in quick succession.

Pressing the

key opens a selection menu, and pressing it again
when the "Call" entry is enabled dials the number of the entry that is
currently selected.

Note: You cannot just call contacts, but also send them a text

message (SMS), and view, edit, delete, copy and move
the contact.

Hands-free talking and muting

During a call, you can switch from receiver mode to hands-free mode.
You then hear the person you are talking to coming from the large
loudspeaker on the back of the device.

If you want to make some enquiry that you do not want the person
you are talking to hear, you can switch off the telephone's micro­phone.

If you press the dial key during a call, a selection menu opens with
the items "Loudspeaker", "Mute" and "DTMF". Use the

and

"Mute" to switch the microphone off, and then confirm with the dial
key.

Messaging (SMS)

19

Messaging (SMS)

With your telephone, you can receive and send short text messages
(SMS).

View SMS received

If you have received a text message (SMS), the display will show this
and the telephone's red LED will flash.

Pressing the dial key

shows you the message content.

If, when the SMS is open, you press the dial key

, you are given a
selection menu from which you can reply to the SMS, view details,
call the sender, delete the SMS or save the SMS's sender as a con­tact.

If you have not displayed all the newly received SMSs, the symbol
shown on the telephone display will show that there are more text
messages that you have not yet seen.

Note: If you have not only received texts but calls that you have

not taken, you will first need to use the dial key to open
the log of new missed calls. Only after you have seen,
when you press the dial key again, will the new texts be
displayed.

When you press the dial key when the telephone is on standby,
you can only access new texts that you have not yet read. Once you

Writing and sending SMS

Besides replying to an SMS that you have received, you can also
compose and send an SMS yourself.

A new SMS can be created using the "Write message" menu item in
the main menu

Messaging, but it is quicker to use the SMS key

on the telephone keypad.

Writing SMS text

You use the number keys to write the actual text message. Three to
four letters are printed adjacent to the number keys

 to . If you

press the relevant key once, the first letter is displayed, twice in quick
succession, the second letter, etc.

So, for the word "Hello", you would need to press the

 twice, then

the

 twice, then the  three times, then the  three times and then

the

 three times.

You can use the

 key to access special characters, such as the full

stop, comma and question mark, which are frequently used. Press
the

 key for an overview of all the special characters. To enter a

space, press the

.

You can change input method with the

 key. The input method cur-

rently selected is displayed in the top left of the display - this is upper
case in the factory settings.

Messaging (SMS)

21

You may also select from the input methods "lower case", "numerals"
and "smart input" in upper and lower case.

Hint: You can use the main menu Settings Phone set-

tings Pref. input methods to set the input method to
be used when writing an SMS.

Smart input

As well as the input methods referred to above, you can also select
the "Smart ABC" (upper case) and "Smart abc" (lower case) input
methods, whereby the telephone uses your inputs to calculate and
propose frequently used words.

With these input methods, you only press the relevant keys once for
each letter. So, e.g., to enter "HELLO", you would type

. In a

row beneath the SMS text, the telephone shows the word that it has
calculated to be the most likely, based on your inputs. If more than
one word fits, the most likely is shown first and the other words
alongside. You can use the

and keys to switch between

the possible words. The proposed word is copied to the SMS text by
entering a space with the

 key or pressing the dial key .

Hint: If the proposed word is not quite correct, you can change

the input method with the  key to make corrections.

Messaging (SMS)

22

Sending SMS

When the SMS text has all been entered, press the dial key and
select "Send to".

You are given a choice by which you can either enter a number man­ually or add the recipient from your phonebook.

Hint: If you want to send the same SMS to more than one recip-

ient, you can enter more than one number, one after the
other, or add them from your contacts. The SMS is then
sent to all the selected recipients.

When you have selected the message's recipients, press the dial key

and then select "Send". The message is then sent to the recipi-

ent/s.

Apart from Send, the selection menu also enables you to edit or de­lete a recipient, remove all recipients or save the message as a draft.

Note: If you want to save a message as a draft, it is not sent, but

just saved as a draft. You can open the message under
Drafts in the SMS menu, change the text again, and then
send it.

SMS settings

In the main menu Messaging you can make settings not only for
writing messages but also for your incoming mail and for drafts.

SMS server

This is where you enter the number of your service provider's SMS
service. You can enter up to two numbers for sending SMS and ena­ble the profile to be used. You do not usually need to make any set-

Messaging (SMS)

23

tings here, because your service provider's SMS number is automati­cally taken from the inserted SIM card.

Voicemail server

This is where the number of your service provider for calling the (an­swering machine) mailbox for your mobile number. This number is
dialled if you keep the

 key pressed down while the telephone is on

standby. Your service provider will have given you the number along
with the SIM card. If no number has been entered and you keep the

 key pressed down while the telephone is on standby, the number

will be queried and saved in this configuration item.

Common settings

If "Delivery report" is enabled here, a status message will be sent to
you by SMS after you have sent the SMS to the recipient. You should
not usually enable this function, because these confirmations are of­ten subject to charges and they are not always supported.

Preferred storage

Here you can choose whether text messages are to be saved in the
telephone's memory or the SIM card's memory.

Phonebook

24

Phonebook

The telephone has storage space for up to 100 numbers and names.
Additional numbers can be stored on the SIM card.

To open the phonebook, press the

key while on
standby. You go to the main menu. There, use the ar­row keys to select the "Phonebook" entry, and then
press the dial key.

Only in this way will you be able to use all the options described be­low.

If you only want to dial numbers that have been saved as contacts,
you can also use the

key to open your quick contacts, or the

key to open your top contacts.

When the contacts have been opened, the first contact will be dis­played. You can page through the contacts with the

and
keys. Above the first contact you can select the "Add new contact" en­try. This function can also be accessed via the Options.

If you press a number key more than once on the keypad, the asso­ciated letter will appear in the line beneath the contact and, as the
contact, the entry which begins with that letter. So, e.g., if you press
the

 key twice, the first contact beginning with "N" will be displayed.

If you press the dial key

, the Options open.

Call

Calls the selected contact.

Send text message

Sends a text message (SMS) to the selected contact.

Phonebook

25

View

Displays the details (name and number) of the selected contact.

Add new contact

Creates a new contact. You are given selection fields for name and
number. With the "Name" field, you press the dial key

to enter
the name. You enter it in the same way as you write text messages
(see above). The numbers can be entered directly. When both fields
have been entered, press the dial key

. You will then be asked if

the entry is to be saved.

To ensure that dialling contacts also works when you are using the
telephone on a foreign network, you should enter the numbers in the
international format, i.e. including the country code. The number
02102-4280 would thus be entered as [phone], with +49 as the
country code for Germany first, then the dialling code without the ini­tial nought. For the + sign, press the

 key twice in quick succes-

sion.

Edit

Here you can change the existing selected contact.

Delete

Deletes the selected contact.

Copy

Copies the selected contact. You will be asked whether you want to
copy the contact to the SIM card or the telephone's memory.

Phonebook

26

Move

Moves the selected contact to the telephone memory if it was stored
on the SIM card, or to the SIM card if it was stored in the telephone.

Copy/Move/Delete all contacts

These entries copy, move or delete not just the selected contacts, but
all the contacts. These functions are useful, e.g., if you are changing
the SIM card. You can then, first, copy all your contacts from the old
SIM card to the telephone and then back from the telephone to the
new SIM card.

Phonebook settings

This is where you make settings for the contacts.

Preferred storage

Here you specify whether the contacts are to be stored in the tele­phone or on the SIM card. Storing them on the SIM card is advanta­geous because the entries are kept if the telephone is changed. Vice­versa, saving them in the telephone is advantageous because the en­tries are kept if the SIM card is changed.

If you in doubt, you can always use the copy function to copy the en­tries from the SIM card to the telephone or vice-versa if you are
changing your SIM card or the telephone. However, it is important
that all the entries are stored in the same place.

Memory status

The memory status shows how many numbers are stored on the SIM
card and in the telephone and how many numbers, maximum, can be
stored on both media.

Call history

27

Call history

When the telephone is on standby, your attention is drawn to calls
that you have not taken by the text "Missed Calls" and the flashing red
LED. When the telephone is on standby and you press the dial key

, the calls log opens and displays only your missed calls.

If you have already displayed all your missed calls, when the tele­phone is on standby and you press the dial key

, the calls log

displays the calls missed, the calls taken and the numbers dialled.

By selecting the main menu and then "Call history", you
can display the call logs separated by call type.

Missed calls

When the "Missed calls" menu item is selected and you press the dial
key

, you get a log of the calls you have missed and you see the
last number that tried to reach you. You can page through the log
with the

and keys.

If you press the dial key again, a menu appears in which you can call
the caller back, see details about the call, send them a text message
(SMS), or delete the call from the calls log.

Dialled calls and received calls

These logs are used in the same way as the missed calls log, except
for the fact that the logs display the dialled numbers or the accepted
calls.

Call history

28

Other call log functions

With "Delete call logs" you can delete individual call logs or all the
logs.

"Call timers" shows the duration of the last call, of all outgoing con­nections, and all accepted calls, and you can reset the call time me­ter.

Silent mode

29

Silent mode

Switches the telephone to silent mode so that you and other people,
e.g., during an event, are not disturbed by it ringing.

Note: It is usually better to switch the telephone off rather than

put it on silent, as the caller then is then informed by text
that your telephone cannot be reached.

You can use the Silent item in the main menu to switch
silent mode with and without vibration on and off.

If the telephone is set to silent, the

symbol in the display will indi-

cate this. If it is set to silent with vibration, the

symbol indicates this.

Hint: If, while on standby, you keep the  pressed down, you

can switch quickly between "Silent" and normal mode.
However, the "Silent and vibrating" function can only be
enabled with the "Silent mode" menu.

Recorder

30

Recorder

You can use the recorder to record brief voice messages or to record
phone calls. E.g., you can quickly record a shopping list, or save a
set of directions during a call.

you can use the

key to record and to play

back.

Recording voice notes and phone calls

Birthdays

37

Birthdays

You can use this function to manage birthdays with
your telephone and remind you of them. Select the
"Birthdays" item in the main menu.

After selecting this function, press the dial key

key Settings.

Phone settings

Here you specify certain telephone settings.

Time and date

Here you can set the date and the time. The date and time appear in
the display when the telephone is on standby, but they are also re­quired for internal functions, e.g. the alarm (see also the chapter "Set­ting the time and date").

Language

Here you set the language of the telephone text. The first time that
you use the device you will automatically be prompted to select a
language, but you can use this menu to change this at any time af­terwards.

Pref. input methods

In the device's default setting, the input method for all text entry is set
to upper case in the selected language. If you prefer a different input
method, you can change the device's default setting here.

Settings

41

Contrast

Here you can change the contrast in the display. Select a setting
which enables you to easily read the text on the background. Make
any change with the

and keys.

LCD backlight

Here you can specify how long the display light will remain on if no
key is pressed. Possible values are 5 to 60 seconds. Make any
change with the

and keys.

Sound settings

Here you specify the device's tones and the type of signal.

Note: This setting is available in normal mode only not in silent

mode.

Tone settings

Here you select the tones for incoming calls, the alarm, power the de­vice on and off, messages (SMS) and for the keypad.

When you select the relevant item, the melody that is currently set
plays and you can use the arrow keys to change it. When you press
the dial key the selected melody is saved.

With the key tones, you can choose between a tone and a clicking
sound and switching the key tone off.

Volume

Here you can set the volume of the tones (incoming calls, messages
and Alarm) and the key tone.

Settings

42

Note: During a call, the volume of the receiver is adjusted using

the rocker switch with the + and – symbol on the left of
the device. This change will then be automatically saved.

Alert type

Here you set whether your telephone will only ring, only vibrate, first
vibrate and then ring, or ring and vibrate at the same time.

Ring type

Here you can set whether, for incoming calls, your telephone will play
the ringtone just once, or repeatedly, or ascending (starting quietly
and getting louder).

Answer mode

Here you can specify that incoming calls can be taken not only with
the dial key

, but with any key you want.

Speed dial

Here you can assign the speed dial numbers to the numerals  to .
When you press the key concerned for about 2 seconds, the number
of the contact selected here is dialled. Under "Set number", for each
numeral you can select a contact who is dialled when you keep the
key pressed down. Under "Status" you switch the speed dial function
on and off.

Talking keys

Here you switch the "Talking keys" on and off. If they are switched on,
the telephone speaks the numbers

to  when they are pressed, for

verification purposes.

Settings

43

Call settings

This is where you set the network settings for calls.

Caller ID

Here you can specify whether your number is displayed to the person
you are calling on outgoing calls.

"Hide ID" means that your number is not displayed, while "Send ID"
means that it is sent. "Set by network" means that the network pro­vider's setup determines whether your number will be displayed or
not. The usual default setting for network providers is that the number
is displayed.

Call waiting

This is where you can switch call waiting on and off, and query the
status set with the network provider.

If call waiting is switched on, any other call that comes in while you
are on the phone will be signalled by a call waiting tone, and you can
switch backwards and forwards between the two calls. The second
caller hears the ringtone. If you have switched off call waiting, the se­cond caller hears the engaged tone if you are on the phone.

Call divert

Here you can switch call diversion on and off, and query the current
status.

Select "All voice calls" if all your calls are to be diverted. With "Divert if
busy", other incoming calls are only diverted if you are on the phone.
"Divert if no answer" means that calls are diverted if you fail to take the
call within about 15 seconds. When you select "Divert if unreachable",

Settings

44

you specify that calls are only diverted if your telephone is switched
off or not logged onto the network.

Select the diversion type you require with the dial key. In the sub­menu, you can then enable or disable the diversion, and query the
current status with the network provider.

After enabling it you will be asked whether you want to divert callers
to your voicemail box (the answering machine) or to a different num­ber.

Call barring

In this configuration item you can set up call blocking for outgoing
and incoming calls. Your service provider has to support call blocking
and, to set it up, you require the PIN2 that your provider has given
you.

Network selection

Here you can set whether your telephone is to automatically search
for the mobile network, or if you prefer to select the network manually.
With an automatic search, your telephone, in this country, always au­tomatically logs onto your supplier's network, while outside this coun­try it logs onto the network with the best reception. Manual selection
only makes sense outside this country and only if you want to use a
particular network there, e.g. because you know that the charges for
their roaming calls are cheaper than those of other networks.

Security settings

This is where you can set up the PIN queries for the SIM card and the
telephone.

Settings

45

SIM lock

Here you can specify whether the telephone queries your SIM card's
PIN (personal ID number) or not when it is switched on.

Switching off the PIN query is more convenient, of course, because
you do not then need to make a note of the PIN and enter it each
time. However, if there is no PIN query there is, for example, no pro­tection against unauthorised use if you lose it, which can lead be very
costly. With the SIM lock your protect your card against unauthorised
use.

You get the SIM card PIN along with the card, from your service pro­vider. However, you can change the PIN with any mobile phone and
save the change on the card.

Phone lock

Here you can specify whether your telephone will be locked with a
password. With the telephone lock, you protect our telephone against
unauthorised use.

In the default setting, the telephone password is

.

Change password

Here you can change the SIM PIN and the telephone password.

Emergency settings

This is where the emergency numbers are entered and emergency
settings made. You will find a description in the "Emergency Call"
chapter.

Settings

46

Restore factory settings

Here you can reset the telephone to the settings it had when sup­plied. Some settings are not reset, e.g. the phone book is not deleted,
the telephone password is not reset, and any saved audio files are
not deleted. To confirm, you need to enter the telephone password
(the default is

).

Emergency call

47

Emergency call

Your telephone features an emergency call function which is trig­gered by pressing the SOS button at the back of the device for about
2 seconds.

If at least one emergency number has been configured and the
emergency call button is enabled, the telephone initiates the emer­gency call when the SOS key is pressed for approximately 2 seconds.

The telephone will then emit an alarm tone and (if activated) send an
SMS with an individually configurable text to the (up to 5) saved
emergency number(s).

Next, the telephone will call the first of the saved emergency num­bers. If the call is accepted, the telephone automatically switches to
hands-free mode. If the called party hangs up, the emergency call
function remains activated and the telephone dials the next emergen­cy number. To stop the emergency call function, keep the hang up
key

pressed down.

If the call is not accepted, the telephone calls the next saved emer­gency number. If none of the emergency calls goes through (or if the
emergency call function is not stopped after the call), the telephone
repeats the cycle of calls to all emergency numbers three times.

While the telephone is calling one of the emergency numbers, the
number is displayed; as the call occurs in hands-free mode, you can
hear whether the called party picks up.

After an outgoing emergency call (regardless of whether accepted,
unsuccessful or interrupted), the telephone automatically accepts in­coming calls and switches into hands-free mode. This allows contact
with an incapacitated person, even if the emergency call has already
ended. To close this function the telephone must be completely
turned off, then back on again.

Emergency call

48

The answering machine problem

The telephone cannot differentiate whether the emergency call is ac­cepted by a person, an answering machine or a fax machine.

Should an emergency call be accepted by an answering machine,
you can end the current call by quickly pressing the hang up key

. The telephone then dials the next emergency number.

As the telephone pursues the emergency call function even after ac­ceptance of the call, the call to the next emergency number occurs
even after acceptance by an answering machine in case the dis­tressed person does not quickly press the hang up key

, or is un-

able to do so.

Answering machines are generally configured to break off the call af­ter a few seconds, if no specific and clear vocal message follows – yet
this is no reliable safeguard. When entering the emergency numbers,
you should thus make sure that no answering machine or fax ma­chine is connected to said numbers.

Test the emergency call function

After configuration, thoroughly test the emergency call function. This
process should include both the owner/s of the Ergophone device
and the persons whose call numbers are saved.

While testing, please consider that when making an emergency call
the user of the device will be in a stressful situation. Persons receiving
the emergency call should thus become familiar with using the emer­gency call function so as to be able to give instructions (e.g. on how
to stop the emergency call function), as the case arises.

Emergency call

49

Configuring the emergency call

To configure the emergency call it must be enabled, and the emer­gency text and numbers must be entered.

When the telephone is on standby, select the

key and then Set-

tings

Emergency Settings. Here, you will find all the settings for

configuring the emergency call.

Emergency numbers

Enter your emergency numbers (up to five) under "Emergency Num­bers". If there is an emergency, the first number entered will be dialled
first, then the second, etc. You can enter the emergency numbers
manually or take them from phonebook. To delete an emergency
number, you edit it, you thereby delete the entire number by keeping
the hang up key pressed down and then save the entry.

Sending an emergency SMS

Here you specify whether an SMS will also be sent to the emergency
number. You can decide for each of the emergency numbers, 1 to 5,
whether the emergency SMS will be sent. In the case of landline
numbers, you should only confirm this function if you are certain that
the telephone can receive SMS texts.

Note: If you enable the SMS for numbers of telephones which

are not SMS-capable, the service provider calls the sub­scriber and reads him/her the SMS. This call would en­gage the emergency number telephone at the very mo­ment when the mobile telephone is trying to make the
emergency call.

Emergency call

50

Emergency SMS content

This is where you enter the text which is sent as an SMS if there is an
emergency call. You may change the text.

Emergency alarm

Here you specify if the emergency call alarm is to be played before
the actual emergency call function. "No alarm sound" means that the
emergency call is made with no alarm. 5 or 10 seconds means that
the alarm sounds for 5 or 10 seconds before the actual emergency
call function begins.

Aborting the emergency call

If an emergency call has been triggered accidentally, it can be abort­ed by keeping the hang up key

pressed down.

To quit the emergency call function completely, the telephone must
be turned off, then back on again.

51

Important information on emergency call functions

 Do not rely exclusively on this emergency call function. In certain

situations (e.g. no network coverage or no credit for outgoing
calls), the emergency call function might not operate.

 Make sure that no answering machines are associated with emer-

gency call numbers.

 It is vital that you discuss the entering of emergency call numbers

with the subscribers of those numbers, so that they know exactly
what to do in case of emergency.

 The general emergency number for mobile networks (112) may

not be entered as an emergency call number; this also applies to
110 and other official emergency numbers.

 After setting up the emergency call function, test it thoroughly in

order to correct any configuration errors.

 Please note that an emergency call can be unintentionally trig-

gered by contact with other objects, i.e. in a handbag; so take
good care of your telephone if the emergency call function is ena­bled.
