SWITEL ESMART M2 User manual

eSmart M2

Mobile phone

Operating instructions

Basic Information

The SWITEL eSmart M2 is a Smartphone customized for special needs with an

Android 7.0 operating system. In addition to the “normal” options on a

Smartphone it offers a special user interface with large, clearly arranged menu

items, an especially large display, increased handset volume, and an emergency

call button.

In this manual only the specific features for operation in "SWITEL mode" are

described. This is kept deliberately simple. If you want to use more settings and

options, you can operate the unit in "Android" mode.

For information about the features of the operating system "Android 7.0" please

use the relevant sources on the Internet.

To change the operating system from the "SWITEL mode" to “Android mode“ open

“Settings“ -> “Advanced Settings" -> "Operating System". After the change, a

restart of the phone is necessary for proper function.

Hearing aid compatibility

This telephone is equipped with T Coil coupler making it compatible with

most popular hearing aids. Due to the wide range of hearing aids available

there is no guarantee that the telephone will function with all hearing aid

models. Please check your hearing aid immunity rating is higher than M2. This

rating can be provided by the manufacturer of your hearing aid. Instruments with

rating lower than M2 may not be compatible with this telephone. When using this

telephone press the ‘T’ button on your hearing aid to switch it to Telecoil mode,

this will link your hearing aid to the phone and will enable clearer sound without

background noises. Please check if your hearing aid is equipped with ‘T’ facility

and if it is automatic or manual. Hearing aids with high immunity rating equipped

with automatic T mode should be able to detect your phone automatically and

switch over to T position. Hearing aids with Manual T function would need manual

activation of this function on your hearing aids.

1 Quick Start Guide

1.3 Insert SIM Card(s), Memory Card and Battery

• The phone must be powered off!

• Remove the back cover by sliding a fingernail in the small slot found on the

bottom side of the phone, and pulling the cover up.

Possible risk of swallowing small parts!

The SIM card can be removed. Small children could swallow it.

Please make sure that the SIM card is not bent or scratched.

Avoid contact with water, dirt, or electrical charges.

Your phone number is on the SIM card, and is not stored on the phone. If

you use the SIM card from your previous phone then you will keep your

phone number, because your telephone number is allocated to the SIM

card and is not stored on the phone.

6

• If a battery is inserted, remove it.

• Your phone offers two equivalent SIM card holders in different sizes (slot 1 for

standard SIM cards used in older mobile phones, and slot 2 for micro SIM

cards commonly used in smartphones). Depending on the format of your SIM

card, you can choose which SIM card holder you want to use. Insert the SIM

card(s) into the SIM card holder(s) with the gold contacts facing down as

shown in the sketch. Pay attention to the position of the bevelled corner.

In addition, the device supports the simultaneous operation of two SIM cards.

This enables you to use cards from two different networks and/or countries.

Before making an outgoing call, sending a text message or using data services

the phone will prompt you to decide and chose which SIM Card to use if you

are using two at that time (Switel OS: Settings -> Advanced settings -> SIM

cards / Android: Settings -> SIM cards).

NOTE: Both card slots (1=Standard SIM, 2=Micro SIM) support LTE (4G).

However, if you use two SIM cards at a time, the SIM card in slot 2 is limited to

UMTS/GSM (3G/2G).

• You have the option to insert a micro SD card (max. 64 GB) to increase the

storage capacity. Slide the memory card, with the golden contacts facing down,

into the slot until it stops.

point up. Press lightly on the bottom end of the battery until it snaps into place

(as shown above).

• Place the back cover back onto the phone and press firmly all around the edges

until it snaps into place.

1.4 Charging the battery

• Ensure that the battery is correctly installed before charging. Do not remove

the battery while the phone is charging. The phone could be damaged as a

result.

• When first starting your phone charge the battery for at least 4 hours. Some

batteries only reach their full capacity after multiple complete

charging/discharging cycles.

• Insert the small plug of the charger into the mini USB charging socket,

ensuring the plug is inserted the correct way around. Do not use excessive

force when inserting the plug.

• Connect the charger. For safety reasons use only the charger delivered with

phone.

1.5 Battery status

The current battery charge status is indicated in the display.

When the battery charge is low, a corresponding warning message appears in the

display. Charge the battery.

When the battery charge drops below the minimum status, the phone switches off

automatically.

1.6 Turning On/Off your Mobile Phone

onto the mobile phone network.

Note: The SIM-Code (the SIM card PIN), which you received

together with the SIM card, protects the SIM card from use

by unauthorized persons. The PIN2 code, which you will

receive together with certain SIM cards, is required for

access to certain services. If you enter the PIN, or PIN2,

incorrectly three times in a row you will be prompted to enter

the PUK or the PUK2 code. Please contact your mobile phone

company if you do not know these codes.

If you press down the On/Off button on your phone for approx. 2 seconds, when it

is turned on, the turn-off dialogue box will be displayed.
