The FeaturePhone 175 SD is a special telephone aimed at the automatic
recording of telephone conversations. For this purpose the
FeaturePhone 175 SD is equipped with a SD card. The FeaturePhone 175
SD can be connected to any regular analogue telephone line and is used
as a regular telephone. It has the ability to automatically record
telephone calls as they are being made. Telephone calls are recorded on
a flash disk during the call. After the calls have ended the recordings can
be either manually or automatically, copied to SD.
The FeaturePhone 175 SD can also be used as headset telephone. It has
a standard headset interface to which the optional headset can be

Setting the FeaturePhone 175 SD up for use is described in the next
chapter.
The FeaturePhone 175 SD is a special telephone aimed at the automatic
recording of telephone conversations. For this purpose the
FeaturePhone 175 SD is equipped with a SD card. The FeaturePhone 175
SD can be connected to any regular analogy telephone line and is used
as a regular telephone. It has the ability to automatically record
telephone calls as they are being made. Telephone calls are recorded on
the flash disk during the call. After the calls have ended the recordings
can be either automatically or manually, copied to SD.
3.1 Compression
The digital format of the recordings is determined by the use of speech
compression. The Call Recorder compresses recordings default according
to the GSM format. This type of compression has a good balance
between audio quality and recording size and is compatible for most
Windows versions. Compressed recordings take up 1/5th of the size of
uncompressed recordings. A high compression rate generally has a
poorer quality.
The FeaturePhone 175 SD supports 2 different formats. The table below
shows the relation between recording quality and storage capacity.
By default the FeaturePhone 175 SD is set to record in GSM compression
format.
Flash disk SD 2GB Bytes/Sec.
3.2 Search and playback
The FeaturePhone 175 SD has its own menu driven search function to
find and play specific recordings. Recordings can be searched for
according to Date and Code, by default the Called number or Caller ID
will be stored as Code. The FeaturePhone 175 SD has an internal
speaker for playback of recordings.
3.3 Security
All recordings can be encrypted. The FeaturePhone 175 SD uses the
CryptoCard option for this feature. Playback of encrypted recordings is
impossible without the CryptoCard. Playback of encrypted recordings on
a PC is possible only with the optional CryptoCard reader in conjunction
with the original or a matching CryptoCard.
3.4 Automatic Gain Control
Automatic Gain Control adjusts the recording level of the local and
remote voice to attain similar audio levels during playback of the
recording. The Automatic Gain Control is enabled by default to ensure
the recording quality for the local and remote voice.
3.5 Microphone mode
When using an External Microphone it should be connected to the
microphone connection that is associated with the option to connect a
headset.
3.6 Handset / Headset / Speakerphone
The FeaturePhone 175 SD features a handset and speakerphone. Both
the handset and the speakerphone key control Hook contact. The
Handset controls Hook contact by a magnetic proximity detector
mounted inside the device-case below the cradle for the microphone
side of the handset. Inside the handset a small magnet is mounted that
allows the FeaturePhone 175 SD to detect whether the handset is lifted
from the phone or put down again.
The handset control takes precedence over the speakerphone. If the
handset is “off hook”, press the Speakerphone key to transfer the call to
the speakerphone. The display will show “Speakerphone ON”. Press
speakerphone key again to transfer the call back to the handset. The
display will show “Speakerphone OFF”. If the call is on “speakerphone”
and the handset is “off hook” then putting down the handset will end
the call.
An optional headset can be connected to the FeaturePhone 175 SD. The
headset and handset can be used interchangeably. If a headset is used
the Hook control function key can be used for “On” and “Off”
hook.
3.7 Start a call
There are three ways to start a call.
- Pick up the handset,
- Press the Hook control function key,
- Open the phone book and select a telephone number, and then
By default all telephone calls are recorded. Recordings are primarily
stored on the Flash disk. If a call is ended the recording can be
automatically copied to SD. The recording also remains ‘on disk’.
Automatic copying of recordings to SD can be disabled in the Recording
Settings menu, see § 10.3. When Automatic copying is disabled
recordings can be copied to SD manually as described in § 6.
4.1 Automatic recording
By default all calls are recorded automatically.
Automatic recording can be disabled in the Recording Settings menu,
see § 10.3.2. When Automatic recording is disabled recording can be
started manually using the recorder keys.
There is one exception to Automatic recording: When the use of the
announcement message has been enabled recording of outgoing calls
need to be started manually.
For incoming calls the recording announcement message is played when
the phone is picked up.
For outgoing calls it is not possible to determine what the correct
moment to play the message is. It has therefore been made that the
recording can only be started manually and the message is played
directly after the recording is started.
The display will show START when the announcement message has been
selected in the menu.
4.2 Copy recordings to SD
During a call the recording is stored on the flash disk of the
FeaturePhone 175 SD. Once the call has ended the recording is copied to
SD. The automatic copying of recordings from Flah disk to SD can be
turned ON and OFF in the Recording Settings menu.
When Automatic copy to SD has been disabled the unwanted recordings
can be removed from the flash disk. When all undesired recordings have
been removed the remaining recordings can be copied to SD.
In certain countries or regions the recording of the telephone call has to
be announced to the remote caller. There are two ways to let the
remote caller know the call is being recorded
Notification tone. The notification tone is a regularly returning beep.
The beep can be heard both by the local and the remote caller. In the
FeaturePhone 175 SD the beep is reproduced only when a silence occurs
in the call. This way you can always be sure the remote caller will hear
the beep.
Notification message: The notification message is a spoken message that
can notify the caller the call is being recorded. The message has to be
recorded first.
The playback of the notification message is different for incoming and
outgoing calls.
For incoming calls the message is reproduced when the phone is picked
up. For outgoing calls the moment of playing the message is determined
manually. The reason being that the FeaturePhone 175 SD cannot
determine when the remote side picks up the phone.
NOTE! Even when Automatic recording is enabled the recording
of outgoing calls has to be started manually when the notification
message is enabled. The recording is started by pressing the menu
key START. The notification message is played when the recording
is started.
The notification tone and message can be enabled separately and
together. See § 10.3.4 for details.
The FeaturePhone 175 SD has three different kinds of recordings:
• Call recordings,
• Microphone recordings,
• Answering machine messages.
Search and playback of these recordings is initiated with the
corresponding function keys. Each recording type has its own Search and
playback function key.
The search and playback menus and operation thereof for the different
recordings are virtually the same.
Recordings can be searched for according to Date and Code.
For all recordings the date of the recording is stored with the recording.
The Code of a recording can be addressed when storing the recording.
By default the dialled number or the caller ID is used as Code of a
recording.
When a search is started one has to choose between searching the SD
card or the Disk. Searching the SD or the Disk is done in exactly the same
way.
During the search the character can be used as a wildcard. The
wildcard is default used for the Code search string. This way the search is
performed on Date and time only. In the next paragraphs the searching
for the various recordings is described.
5.1 Search recordings

STOP to quit searching.
5.3 Search according to code
In the previous paragraph the search according to date has been
described. The search can be expanded to incorporate the code of the
recording. Throughout the search the code can be incorporated as
follows:
Now the recorder keys can be used to select and play the found
recordings.
Example: The date search string "-03-11 will return all the calls from
March 2011. The date search string "--11 will return all the calls
from the year 2011.
The code search string 234 will return all the calls that contain the
number 234.
It is possible to copy recordings from the Flash disk to SD card. There are
different ways to copy recordings to SD card. A copying action is always
preceded by a Search action. It is possible to copy a recording while
playing it back, or a selection of recordings can be made first, either per

Encrypting recordings is done to prevent unauthorized playback of and
listening to recordings. The FeaturePhone 175 SD uses a CryptoCard to
encrypt recordings. The CryptoCard is a chip card that holds the key to
the encryption and decryption. Encrypted recordings can only be played
back together with the original or a matching CryptoCard.
The FeaturePhone 175 SD is equipped with a card reader specifically for
this purpose, it is located on the left front side of the device.
CryptoCards can be obtained from your FeaturePhone 175 SD supplier.
The use of the CryptoCard encryption function is default enabled by
inserting a CryptoCard.
9.1 Insert the CryptoCard into the
FeaturePhone 175 SD
Insert the CryptoCard into the FeaturePhone 175 SD as shown in the
figure.
9.2 The CryptoCard and its PIN and PUC code
The CryptoCard is supplied with a PIN code and a PUC code. The PIN
code is a four-digit code and is requested by the FeaturePhone 175 SD
to enable playback of recordings. The PUC code is a twelve-digit code
and is used only when the card has been disabled. The PIN code can be
changed with the FeaturePhone 175 SD. See § 10.1.2.
A CryptoCard allows for two invalid PIN code entries. After the third
invalid Pin code entry the CryptoCard is disabled. The next time the
FeaturePhone 175 SD will ask for the PUC code to enable the card
again. The CryptoCard allows for four invalid PUC code entries. After the
fifth invalid PUC code entry the FeaturePhone 175 SD will disable the
card definitively. It is advised to keep the PUC code in a safe place.
9.3 Making an encrypted recording
To make encrypted recordings only it is essential that the Use
CryptoCard function is enabled in the Recorder Settings menu. Enable the Use CryptoCard function as described in § 10.1.2. With Use
CryptoCard enabled it is no longer possible to make normal,
unencrypted recordings without disabling the Use CryptoCard function
again.
Insert the CryptoCard in the card reader of the FeaturePhone 175 SD.

NOTE: Removing the card disables recording automatically.
Encrypted recordings are stored as such and can be played only
with a matching CryptoCard inserted. Encrypted recordings can
also be played with a PC with the FeaturePhone 175 SD software;
however, they cannot be played on the PC without a CryptoCard
matching the card used when the recording was made. See the
following section for a detailed explanation.

connected to your Windows PC, you can browse the contents of the
archive like any disk drive, using Windows Explorer. The recordings are
stored on the SD card as regular files that you can playback using an
audio player, such as Windows Media Player (provided the files are not
encrypted with a CryptoCard).
The SD Access system is intended to view the recordings on the SD card
in a comprehensive list, as an archive so to speak.
The recordings in the list can be played back, attached to an e-mail,
copied to the computer’s hard disk etc.
11.1 Using the SD Access Software
As an alternative to manual access, you can use the SD Access system to
access recordings on a SD card. This has the advantage that it has
functions to search for recordings on properties, such as date and time
and telephone number, to copy recordings to hard disk, and to decrypt
recordings using a CryptoCard. When you open an archive on a SD card,
the software will scan the SD card and build a versatile database of the
available recordings. Recordings on the SD card can be played back from
within the software.
It is also possible to create an archive on your hard disk. Recordings in
the archive on your hard disk can also be given a name. All recordings
with the same remote number will acquire the same name
automatically.
An extensive query screen allows for the definition of a query to be
executed in the current archive. Queries can be made according to date
and time, remote number, name, incoming and outgoing calls,
answering machine messages and microphone recordings.
11.2 Install the software

installation. If the installation is not started automatically, locate the file
setup.exe on the CD and start it by double-clicking. Follow the
