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.

8

 Do not use any power supply unit other than the

one supplied.

 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 mate-

rials 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 in the deliv­ery) is required to record voice notes with

the integrated recorder. The Ergophone
6210 supports Micro SD memory cards with a ca­pacity of up to 8 GB - these can be purchased on
the accessories market and in electronics shops.

Fig. 1 Fig. 2

10

Fig. 3 Fig. 4

The casing cover on the back of the device must be
removed to insert the SIM card, a memory card and
the battery. (Fig. 1).

Carefully install the SIM card(s) in the card holder.
Push the SIM card under the metal clamp with the
contacts pointing downwards and the notch facing
the SOS button (Fig. 2).

To insert an SD memory card, move the metal clip
to the left and then rotate it upwards. After inserting
the card and closing the metal holder, push the
holder to the right such that it secures the card and
can no longer be opened upwards (Fig. 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.

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

11

Then replace the casing cover and slide it upwards
until it engages.

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 top side 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 into the charger cradle to
charge the battery.

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

12

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

keypad, then press the green Dial key .

Note: In Settings Security Settings SIM

Security, you can change the SIM card
PIN and enable/disable the prompt for it.

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 green Dial key under
"Menu", then keep pressing the "down arrow" key

13

until "Settings" is displayed. Then press the

green Dial 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.

time are shown on the display, and the duration of
the display lighting and its brightness, can be set.

User level settings

In the "Beginner mode" setting, the phone only of­fers those functions in all menus and in Settings
that are generally used frequently. Foregoing non­used functions makes using the phone very simple
in this setting.

38

All functions supported by the phone remain avail­able in all menus and settings in "Advanced mode".

If you make phone setting changes in "Advanced
mode", these changes remain available even if you
later revert back to "Beginner mode". So if you want
to change a setting not available in "Beginner
mode", you can temporarily enable "Advanced
mode" to make the setting change.

Security settings

Here you specify whether a prompt is issued for the
PIN stored on the SIM card (code, password) when
the phone starts up; you can also change this set­ting.

In addition to setting up a block on the SIM card,
"Advanced" mode enables you to block the phone
and specify the time until automatic keypad lock.

Note: The phone password (factory setting

) is also used as a prompt for re­setting the device to the default settings.

Additional settings

Available in the Settings menu of "Advanced mode"
are additional menu options and sub-menus that
are not available in "Beginner mode".

39

Call settings

Available here as additional settings:

 Enable/disable call waiting
 Enable/disable call number display
 Enable/disable call divert
 Set up speed dial (prolonged pressing of

assigned key required in standby to use)

 Enable/disable automatic call redial
 Enable/disable call time reminder
 Enable/disable acceptance of calls with any key

Visibility main menu

The main menu also makes available functions that
perhaps you do not need. If you do not use the
alarm, the tasks and the calculator for example,
these functions can be hidden in "Visibility main
menu".

Accessing this menu option shows all main menu
options - each one can be enabled or disabled indi­vidually.

Even if you disable options in the main menu, the
respective functionality remains available in part.
Disabling "Messages" in the main menu for example
means the phone still receives short messages, no-

40

tifies you of them and lets you read and answer
them. Disabling "Contacts" for example means the
contacts continue to be available from the right Dis­play key.

Order main menu

You can specify here the order in which the main
menu options are displayed. This means you can
position frequently used functions at the start, and
less commonly used functions at the end of the
main menu.

Accessing this menu option shows all main menu
options in the current order, and "Select" is shown

on green Dial key .

Use the and keys to select the main
menu option you want to move to another place,

and then press green Dial key . The Display
key text changes to "Moving". Now use and

to select the main menu option in front of

which you want to move the menu option selected,
and then re-press green Dial key .

The main menu is then displayed in the new order.
You can move more menu options or exit the set-

ting for the order using red Hang-up key
("Back").

41

Network settings

Specified here is whether the connection to the
wireless network is established automatically or
manually.

Emergency settings

The settings for the emergency function are config­ured here. Please refer to the "Emergency" section
for a description.

Restore factory settings

The phone can be reset to the factory settings here.
Please note that only the settings are reset. Func­tions set up by users (such as Contacts and
Alarms) are not reset, nor are files stored in the
phone's memory deleted, such as photos.

The phone password (factory setting )
must be entered to reset the phone to the factory
settings.

42

Connection to a computer

Connect the telephone's micro USB jack to the USB
port on your computer. "Mass Storage" is shown on

the display. Press green Dial key . Now the
memory card used in the phone is displayed on
your computer as a new device with exchangeable
media.

The “Audio” folder contains voice messages rec­orded with the recorder, and recordings of calls.

If you wish to use your own ring tones or back­ground image, copy the relevant audio or image file
from your computer to the memory card. These files
are selected in the phone as ringtones or back­ground images and must remain stored in memory.
We therefore recommend creating a folder in
memory for these kinds of files so that they are not
deleted accidentally.

SOS call

Your phone features an emergency function which
is activated (even when the keypad lock is enabled)
by pressing the emergency key on the back of the
device for about two seconds.

After the connection is established, the phone ex­pects that the other end presses the "5" key. This
prevents a connection to an answering machine or

43

voice service being accepted as a successful
emergency call.

If at least one emergency number is entered in the
configuration and the emergency key is enabled,
the phone initiates an emergency call when the
emergency key is pressed for 2 seconds or so.

The phone then sounds an alarm tone and (if acti­vated) sends an SMS with an individually configu­rable text to the (up to 5) emergency number(s)
stored.

Next, the telephone will call the first of the saved
emergency numbers. If the call is accepted, the Er­gophone requests the called party to press the "5"
key on the phone at the other end. If the called par­ty presses this key, the connection stays up until
either you or the called party hangs up. If the called
party does not press the "5" key within 60 seconds,
your phone breaks the connection and calls the
next emergency number entered.

If the call is not accepted, the phone calls the next
emergency number stored. If a connection to a per­son cannot be established on any of the emergency
numbers, the phone repeats up to three times in
succession all emergency numbers entered.

Whilst the telephone is calling one of the emergen­cy numbers, the number is displayed. Since the call

44

is made in hands-free mode, you can hear whether
the called party picks up.

After an SOS is triggered, the phone automatically
accepts incoming calls and switches to hands-free
mode. This allows contact with an incapacitated
person even when an emergency call has already
ended. Exit this function with prolonged pressing
again of the emergency call button.

Testing of the emergency call function

Thoroughly test the emergency call function after
setup. This process should involve the owner of the
Ergophone and those whose numbers are stored in
the phone.

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 function so as to be able to issue instructions
as required (such as on how to end the emergency
call function).

Emergency call configuration

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

45

With the telephone in standby, select green Dial key

, next "Settings" in the main menu, then
"Emergency Call Settings". This is where all the set­tings for configuring emergency calls are.

Note: The emergency settings are only available

in "Advanced mode". If an SOS call has
been set up in this user setting, it remains
available even if the user settings are reset
to "Basic".

Emergency button active on/off

Here you specify whether the emergency key on
the back of the phone is enabled or disabled.

When the key is enabled, the emergency function is
active as described. With the key disabled, the
emergency call function is not available, even if you
have saved the emergency numbers and text.

Message send status

Use "Message send status" to specify whether the
SOS SMS is sent before the emergency number is
dialled.

Note: Only enable sending of an SOS SMS

when all phones are able to receive SMS
messages as text.

46

Otherwise the service provider would call

the subscriber and read 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 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.

Accessing the menu option shows the five memory
locations for emergency numbers. Press green Dial

key and select the emergency number from
the contacts.

Edit message

Under the item "Edit message", you can modify the
content of the emergency call SMS.

Cancelling an emergency call

If an emergency call is triggered accidentally, it can
be aborted with prolonged pressing again of the
emergency call key. If you press the red hang-up

key only slightly, the phone will disconnect this
call but will start with the next number anew.

47

Important information on emergency functions

 Do not rely exclusively on this emergency func-

tion. The emergency function cannot be enabled
in certain situations (such as no network cover­age or no credit for outgoing calls).

 Make sure that no answer machines are con-

nected to emergency numbers.

 Discussing the entering of emergency numbers

with the holders of these numbers is absolutely
imperative so that they know exactly what to do
in an emergency.

 The general emergency number for mobile net-

works (112) may not be entered as an emergen­cy number; this also applies to 110 and other of­ficial emergency numbers.

 After setting up the emergency function, test it

thoroughly and rectify any mistakes.

 Please note that the emergency call might also

be initiated by coming into contact with other ob­jects (such as when in a handbag), so take ap­propriate care of the phone when the emergen­cy function is enabled.
