1 INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing BIG500SWA, the easy phone that with

its simplicity will keep you near to all your contacts.

Please read this manual carefully in order to use your phone as

well as possible, and keep it for future use.

Note: Due to the soware and network systems of dierent

operators, the phone’s menu may be slightly dierent from

those described in this guide.

2 PHONE AND DATA PROTECTION

If your phone has been lost or stolen, notify the telecom

company that the SIM card must be disabled. This can avoid

economic loss caused by unauthorized use.

Please take measures as following to avoid your phone being

unauthorized use:

• Set PIN code of SIM card

• Set phone password

NOTE ON MEMORY CONFIGURATION

The phone internal memory (flash memory) is totally

dedicated to the device management.

For this reason, the free memory must not be used as it

should be kept free for possible soware updates, or the

warranty will be lost.

To store and play multimedia files, it is therefore necessary

to insert a Micro SD card in the device ( Micro SD card not

included).

3 SAFETY INFORMATION

instructions:

1. Pay attention near chemical plants, gas stations and

other potential explosive places. Also in the main

3. Do not use the phone in the hospital, not to disrupt

the functioning of medical devices such as cardiac

pacemakers, hearing aids, etc. Before turning on the

phone, check the rules for the area in which you want to

use the device.

4. On a plane, turn o your mobile phone before the

plane takes o not to disturb the flight. It is generally

dangerous and illegal to use the phone on board of an

aircra.

5. Place the phone and all accessories in areas not

accessible to children.

GETTING STARTED

The BIG500SWA model is a phone with a normal keypad,

but that has a series of particular features:

• The SW is ANDROID with WhatsApp pre-installed

• The 2,8” display is a touch screen.

• The main menu is made up of a series of panels with

icons that are simple to interpret.

USING THE TOUCHSCREEN

Unlike normal phones, on which the Display is only used

to display what has been selected using the keypad, the

BIG500SWA has a Display that can be said to be a “Touch-

screen”.

What does that mean?

The Touchscreen makes it possible to use the screen itself

as an active area for accessing menus, icons, and various

functions. This means that by simply touching a specific

icon / function with your fingertip, it is activated and you can

access a sub-menu or other specific functions.

You can therefore touch a point, or “swipe” your finger over

the screen to move the page, unlock the screen, or do many

other actions.

Since this phone has both a touchscreen and a normal

numerical keypad, for many of its functions you are free to

choose whether to use the touchscreen or the numerical

keypad, or interact with both (for example, when using

WhatsApp).

NOTE: This choice cannot be made everywhere. Check

what you can and can’t do from time to time, using only

the touchscreen or the keypad. This does not indicate a

defect in the soware.

USER MANUAL | page 13

• How to unlock the Display

If the phone is on and no activity takes place for a defined time

(usually 30 seconds), the phone’s screen turns black. This is done

to reduce consumption on the battery.

Therefore its status is: phone on, keypad blocked, and display o.

To unlock the screen and begin using the phone, use one of the

two options indicated below:

1) Push the on/o key (red key) for one second, then swipe the

lock key that is displayed at the bottom of the screen to the right.

2) Alternatively, push the le key immediately followed by the *

(asterisk) key, with the display o.

This brings up large icons on the screen, for the following

functions:

1. “Date and time” - the current date and time are displayed.

2. “Contact” - the contacts saved on the SIM and in the Phone.

3. “WhatsApp“ - the chat application

4. “Phone” - to be able to make a phone call

5. “Message” - to be able to send and read messages

• Swipe to the right (once) to open a screen that

has 6 favourite contacts that are immediately available (part of

the contacts list)

• Swipe to the le (a number of times) to access

other screens that provide access to a series of functions such as,

“Camera”, “Internet“, “File manager”, ”Facebook” (via internet),

”Tools”, etc. (See Fig. 2)

USER MANUAL | page 14

Chapter 3

GETTING STARTED

USING WhatsApp (this app must be enabled):

NOTE: To use WhatsApp the phone must be connected to the

data network via the SIM, or to a Wi-Fi connection. In both

cases we recommend checking the costs of these services

with the service providers.

When using WhatsApp for the first time, you need to enable it.

You must therefore link it to your personal number for the SIM in

the phone.

Then refer to the following points:

1. With the SIM inserted and registered on the internet

(the phone operator’s name is shown in the display) touch the

“WhatsApp” icon on the display - see Fig. 2.

2. Follow the instructions in the sequence they

appear on the screen (you will be asked to add your phone

number).

3. You will receive a message with a activation code,

via that same number (therefore on this phone).

4. Enter this code, where indicated.

(next)

Fig.2

USER MANUAL | page 15

Once the activation procedure has been completed, to use

WhatsApp normally, follow the instructions below:

1. The main menu includes the “WhatsApp” icon.

2. Touch the icon on the display (touchscreen).

3. An icon circled in green (create new message) will be dis-

played in the bottom right corner.

4. Open the contacts menu and choose the contact you want

to write to.

5. Now key in the text of the message.

6. To enter the text you must use the phone’s keypad, which

is set as:

• Default setting: “Abc lettering”. Each key pushed

corresponds to a letter (according to the individual keys). For

example, to enter the letter “b”, push key 2 twice in quick succes-

sion, and so on.

• Push the # (hash) key to switch to the “intuitive

dictionary” mode, and words will be suggested by the SW.

NOTE: not all commonly used words are recognised, this is not a

SW defect.

• Push the # (hash) key again to switch to entering

“numbers” only (0 ,1, 2, etc.)

• To attach a file (image or any other), touch the

paper clip icon at the bottom right of the screen for the text you

are entering. A list of folders will open, from which the files to be

attached can be taken.

• Once you have completed the message, use the

key with the arrow outlined in green to send the message.

• To read a WhatsApp message that you have re-

ceived, touch the area of the notification on the screen. You can

reply to the message by repeating points 5 and 6 above, for the

messages to be read.

1 SIM CARD AND BATTERY INSTALLATION

A SIM card carries useful information, including your mobile phone

number, PIN (Personal Identification Number), PIN2, PUK (PIN

Unlocking Key), PUK2 (PIN2 Unlocking Key), IMSI (International Mobile

Subscriber Identity), network information, contacts data, and short

messages data.

( See Fig.3 )

Note: Aer powering o your mobile phone, wait for a few

seconds before removing or inserting A SIM card.

Exercise caution when operating A SIM card, as friction or

disappears.

USER MANUAL | page 18

Chapter 3

GETTING STARTED

Note:

Ensure that the plug of the charger and the plug of the USB

cable are inserted in the right direction. Inserting them

in a wrong direction may cause charging failure or other

problems.

Before the charging, ensure that the standard voltage and

frequency of the local main supply match the rated voltage

and power of the travel charger.

USER MANUAL | page 19

tor here

Plug the charger

plug into an

appropriate

100-240V ~

50-60 Hz power

outlet

Using a travel adapter:

• Install the battery into the mobile phone before charging

the battery.

• Connect the adapter of the travel charger with the

charging slot in the mobile phone. Ensure that the

adapter is fully inserted.

• Insert the plug of the travel charger to an appropriate

power outlet.

• During the charging, the battery level grids in the battery

icon keep flickering till the battery is fully charged.

• It is normal that the battery becomes hot during the

charging period.

• The battery icon does no longer flicker when the charging

process ends.

4 BATTERY USAGE

The performance of a battery is subject to multiple factors:

radio network configuration, signal strength, ambient

temperature, chosen functions or settings, phone fittings, and

the voice, data or other application mode you choose to use.

To guarantee the optimal performance of your battery, please

stick to the following rules:

• Use only the battery provided by the vendor. Otherwise,

damages or even injuries could be caused during the

charging.

• Power o the mobile phone before removing the

battery.

• The charging process lasts a longer time for a new

battery or a battery not in use for long. If the battery

voltage is too low to enable the mobile phone to be

powered on, charge the battery for a longer time. In this

case, the battery icon does not flicker until a long time

aer the battery enters the charge status.

• During the charging, ensure the battery is placed in a

room temperature environment or in an environment

close to room temperature.

• Immediately stop using the battery if the battery

produces odor, overheats, cracks, distorts or has other

damage, or if the electrolyte leaks.

• The battery wears out with use. A longer charging time

is required as the battery is put into use for a long time.

If the total conversation duration decreases but the

charging time increases even though the battery is

properly charged, purchase a standard battery from the

OEM or use a battery approved by our company. Using

any poor-quality fittings will cause harm to your mobile

phone or even incur danger!
