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" or
"Expert mode". Additional functions then
become available to you.

Note: If you change phone settings

in "Advanced mode" or "Ex­pert mode", these changes
remain available even if you
later revert back to "Beginner
mode".

 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.

11

 When driving, only use this phone with

an approved hands-free set. Observe
the legal regulations specific to the
country of use.

 Keep the phone 20cm from any im-

planted pacemaker. Switch off the
phone immediately if you feel or sus­pect any impairment.

 Do not use any power supply unit other

than the one supplied.

 Only use original accessories and bat-

13

Initial use

Installing the SIM card, memory card and
battery

A SIM card in Micro SIM format 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 6260 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.

The casing cover on the back of the device
must be removed to insert the SIM card, a
memory card and the battery. For this,
there is a notch on the underside near the

14

USB jack. Insert a fingernail into the notch
and remove the back cover.

Carefully install the SIM card in the card
holder. Push in the SIM card with the con­tacts pointing downwards and the notch
facing upwards.

15

An SD memory card can be pushed in
above the SIM card.

The battery is inserted next (this is only
possible in the correct position).

16

Then refit the casing cover until it clicks into
place.

Charging the battery

A charger cradle, USB-C cable and power
supply unit are supplied with your phone.

Insert the small connector on
the USB-C cable into the jack

at the rear of the charger
cradle. Then plug the power supply unit
into the socket.

Place the telephone into the charger cradle
to charge the battery.

17

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.

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 minutes after you
have plugged in the charger. This
switches the battery back on and the
charging process starts.

18

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

.

Note: In Settings Security Set-

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

your own image as the wallpaper in
standby, and specify whether the date and
time are shown on the display.

54

Ring type

Set here whether the phone only rings
when calls arrive, or rings and vibrates.

Extra tone

Here, you can enable and disable warning
and connexion tones.

Arrow keys

Use the "arrow keys" to set which phone
function is accessed when keys and

are pressed when the phone is in

standby.

Selecting "Main Contacts" here accesses
the Quick Photo Selection function when
the key is pressed. All contacts defined as
main contacts are displayed with their pic­tures for quick selection.

Selecting "Quick Menu" accesses a menu
with multiple functions.

55

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 non-used functions makes
using the phone very simple in this setting.

In “Advanced” mode, slightly advanced
functions are available to you, and in “Ex­pert” mode, all functions supported by the
phone in all menus and settings.

If you make phone setting changes in "Ad­vanced" or "Expert" 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 "Expert
mode" to make the setting change.

Security settings

In “Advanced” mode, you specify whether
a prompt is issued for the PIN stored on the

56

SIM card (code, password) when the
phone starts up; you can also change this
setting.

In "Expert" mode, you can also set up a
block on the phone in addition to locking
the SIM card, and change the phone pass­word.

Note: The phone password (factory

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

Additional settings

Available in “Expert” mode in the Settings
menu are more complete menu options
and submenus.

Call settings

Available here as additional settings:

 Enable/disable call waiting

57

 Enable/disable call number display
 Enable/disable call divert
 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, noti-

58

fies 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 "Se-

lect" 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

59

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 setting for the order using

red Hang-up key

("Back").

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

60

(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.

61

Connection to a computer

Connect the phone's USB-C 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.

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.

62

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 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 4)
emergency number(s) stored.

63

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

64

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).

65

Emergency call configuration

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

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 “Expert”
mode. If an SOS call has
been set up in this user set­ting, it remains available even
if the user settings are reset
afterwards.

66

Emergency button 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.

Send SMS

Use "Send SMS" to specify whether the
SOS SMS is sent before the emergency
number is dialled, and change the mes­sage text.

Note: Only enable sending of an

SOS SMS when all phones
are able to receive SMS mes­sages as text. Otherwise the
service provider would call

67

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 four)
under "SOS numbers". In an emergency,
the first number entered is called first, then
the second, etc.

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.

68

Important information on emergency
functions

 Do not rely exclusively on this emer-

gency function. 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

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

69

 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.
