Installing the SIM card and battery

The SIM card and battery need to be installed before the phone is used
for the first time. 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.

Take off the case cover on the back of the device
to insert the SIM card and battery. To do this,
press the top of the cover on the rear and slide it
downwards.

Carefully insert the SIM card into the SIM card
holder as shown. This is on the underside of the telephone.

Initial use

10

The SIM card is pushed, with the card's contacts
facing downwards, between the telephone's con­tacts and the metal retaining clip. The notch in
the casing must be facing the same way as the
SIM card. The SIM card must fit exactly into the
notch.

Then the battery is inserted. The three battery
contacts must be pointing towards the three con­tact pins on the telephone on the bottom right
underneath the SIM card.

The battery is first inserted at the bottom at the
contact areas and then at the top into the notch
of the telephone.

Then replace the casing cover and push it up­wards until it clicks into place.

Switching on the telephone

Press the red hang up key for 3–5 seconds until the display lights up.

You are then prompted to enter the PIN (personal identification number)
for your SIM card. You can find this four-digit number in the documenta­tion for your SIM card. Use the keypad to enter the four digits, and then

press the green dial key

.

Initial use

11

Note: You can change your SIM card PIN from the telephone set-

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

The telephone is now ready to be used.

Setting language, date and time

After the telephone is switched on for the first time, you are automatically
prompted to set the language, date and time.

First select the language required and confirm it with the dial key

. Next,

enter the time (first hours, then minutes), then the date (first day, then
month, then year), confirming each time with the dial key

.

Note: The automatic prompt for language, time and date is only

shown when the telephone is switched on for the first time
and when a different SIM card has been inserted. It is possi­ble to change these settings any time from the main menu

Settings Phone Settings and then "Time and Date"

or "Language".

Charging the battery

A charger and a power supply unit are supplied with your telephone. In­sert the small connector on the power supply unit into the jack on the rear
of the charger, then plug the power supply unit into the wall socket.

Initial use

12

Put the telephone into the charger to charge the battery. The right-hand
bar segment in the charge status display flashes during the charge pro­cess. All of the segments in the display are filled when the charge process
is complete. The charge status display no longer flashes.

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 USB
connector on a computer.

Fully charge the battery prior to initial use. To preserve the battery thereaf­ter, only place the telephone in the charger when the battery is almost flat
(when only 1-2 bars in the charge status display are filled).

You will usually need to recharge the battery about once a week (depend­ing on the duration of your calls). Battery performance diminishes over
time. If you notice after a time that you need to recharge your telephone
more frequently, replace the battery.

Smart input

As well as the input methods referred to above, you can also select the "s
ABC" (upper case) and "s abc" (lower case) input methods, whereby the

Messaging (SMS)

31

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 to enter "Hello" for example, you would type . In a line
underneath the SMS text, the telephone shows the word 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 word sug-

gested is copied to the SMS text by entering a space with the

key or

pressing the dial key

change is then automatically remembered for future calls.

Time voice

The telephone is able to provide regular and automatic time checks. A
manual function is also available.

Settings

39

Select "Report time the hour at half/at point or the hour and halftime” if
you want the telephone to automatically provide a time report at these
times.

If "Report time at any time" is enabled, prolonging pressing of the +- key
on the left-hand side when the telephone is in standby provides a time
check.

Call settings

Some of the call settings are configured here.

Caller ID

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

Call waiting

This is where you can enable and disable call waiting, and query the sta­tus currently set at the network provider.

When call waiting is enabled, another incoming call arriving whilst you are
on the phone is signalled by a call waiting tone, and you are able to
switch back and forth between the two calls. The second caller hears the
ring tone. If call waiting is disabled, the second caller hears the engaged
tone when you are on the phone.

Settings

40

Call divert

Here you can enable and disable call divert, and query the current status.

Call barring

Here you are able to set up call blocking for incoming and outgoing calls.

Network selection

Here you can set whether your telephone automatically searches for a
mobile network, or whether you prefer to select the network manually.
With an automatic search, your telephone always registers automatically
with your supplier's network within your home country. Abroad, it registers
with the network providing the best reception. Manual selection is only
sensible abroad and only when you want to use a particular network, such
as when you know that charges for roaming calls are cheaper than those
of other networks.

Changing password

Here you can specify whether or not the telephone prompts for the PIN of
your SIM card when the phone is switched on.

Disabling the PIN prompt of course makes life easier because you do not
need to make a note of the PIN and enter it every time. If there is no PIN
prompt however, no protection against unauthorised use is provided if
you lose the phone for example (which can be very costly).

Settings

41

Change the PIN of your SIM card with "PIN". This change is made on the
SIM card and is permanent, even when the telephone is changed.

Emergency settings

This is where emergency numbers are entered and emergency call set­tings configured. Please refer to Section "Emergency Calls" for a descrip­tion.

Restore factory settings

This is where you can reset the telephone to the settings it had when first
purchased. Contacts and some other details entered are not deleted. You
must enter the PIN () to confirm.

Emergency calls

Your telephone features an emergency call function that is activated by
pressing the SOS key on the rear of the device for about 2 seconds.

If at least one emergency number is configured, the telephone makes the
emergency call when the SOS key is pressed for about 2 seconds.

The telephone then sounds an alarm and sends an SMS, with configura­ble help text, to up to five emergency numbers configured.

The telephone then calls the first emergency number stored. If the call is
accepted, the telephone automatically switches to hands-free mode. If the
called party hangs up, the emergency call function remains activate and
the telephone dials the next emergency number. Prolonged pressing of
the SOS key again ends the emergency call function.

If the call is not accepted, the telephone calls the next emergency num­ber. If no connection is established on any emergency number, the tele­phone repeats three times all the emergency numbers stored.

After an emergency call is made (irrespective of whether it is accepted,
unsuccessful or interrupted), the telephone automatically accepts incom­ing calls and switches to hands-free mode. This allows contact with an in­capacitated person even if the emergency call has already ended. The
personal details entered are shown on the telephone display. Prolonged
pressing of the emergency call key again, or turning the phone off and on
again, ends this function.

Testing the emergency call function

Thoroughly test the emergency call function after set-up. This must in­volve the owner of the Ergophone and the people whose telephone num­bers are stored.

During the test, remember that the user of the phone is in a stressful situa­tion when making the emergency call. Those receiving the emergency call
should therefore be familiar with using the emergency call function so as
to be able to issue instructions as required (such as on how to end the
emergency call function).

Set-up of emergency calls

Setting up emergency calls involves entering the emergency call text and
the emergency call numbers.

When the telephone is in standby, press the

key and then Settings

Emergency settings. This is where all the settings for configuring

emergency calls are.

Emergency numbers

Enter your emergency numbers (up to five) under "Emergency Numbers".
In an emergency, the first number entered is called first, then the second,
etc.

In "Send SOS SMS", specify whether you also want to send an SMS to the
emergency number. This function can be enabled if the emergency num­ber is a mobile telephone number. For landline numbers, you should only

Emergency calls

44

confirm this function if you are certain that the telephone can receive SMS
texts.

Note: If you enable SMS for numbers of telephones that cannot re-

ceive SMS text, the service provider calls the subscriber and
reads out the SMS. This call would block the emergency
number telephone at the very moment the mobile telephone
is trying to make the emergency call.

Emergency SMS

This is where you enter the text sent as an SMS in the event of an emer­gency call. You may change the text.

Emergency display

This is where you can enter the personal details of a family member (user
name, blood group, telephone number and name). These details are
shown on the telephone display once the emergency call has been made.

Cancelling an emergency call

If an emergency call is made inadvertently, it can be cancelled with pro­longed pressing of the emergency call key.

Important information on emergency call functions

 Do not rely exclusively on the emergency call function. In certain situa-

tions (such as no network coverage or no credit for outgoing calls), the
emergency call function might not operate.

 Ensure that no answering machines are defined as emergency call

numbers.

 Discussing the entering of emergency call numbers with the holders of

these numbers is an absolute requirement so that they know exactly
what to do in an 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 and cor-

rect any mistakes.

 Please note that the emergency call key can be pressed by coming in-

to contact with other objects (such as when in a handbag), so take ap­propriate care of the telephone when the emergency call function is
enabled.
