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 "Set-

tings" 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 "Ad-

vanced mode", these changes remain

available even if you later revert back to

"Beginner mode".

All options in the Main menu described in this man-

ual 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

permitted. As a rule, use of mobile phones

is prohibited in hospitals, aircraft and at fill-

ing stations.

 Do not open the device yourself, and do not

attempt repairs on your own. Repairs may

only be performed by qualified specialists.

 Do not expose the phone to smoke, chemi-

cals, humidity, dust or excessive heat (di-

rect 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 hear-

ing. Loud noises over longer periods can

result in hearing damage.

 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 implanted

pacemaker. Switch off the phone immedi-

ately if you feel or suspect any impairment.

 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 emergen-

cies. Establishing an emergency connec-

tion may not always be possible for tech-

nical 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 materials in

line with local regulations.

Initial use

Installing the SIM card(s), memory card and battery

A SIM card, available from your mobile

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) is required

to send multimedia messages (MMS), to

save photos with the integrated camera

and to record voice notes with the integrated re-

corder. The Ergophone 6160 supports Micro SD

memory cards with a capacity of up to 8 GB - these

can be purchased on the accessories market and at

electronics shops.

Fig. 1 Fig. 2

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. Use a finger nail to open the back cover

until it can be removed (Fig. 1).

Carefully install the SIM card 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, push the metal clip

towards the left, and fold 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. 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. 3).

Then replace the case cover and press it until it

clicks into place (Fig. 4).

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 con-

nector into the jack, check the direction and avoid

applying force. Then plug the power supply unit in-

to the socket.

Place the telephone in its closed position in the

charger; the battery now charges.

Instead of charging via the charger cradle, the

power supply plug can also be connected directly

to the jack on the side of the telephone. The battery

can also be charged via a computer's USB con-

nector. In both cases, the USB logo on the con-

nector 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.

For safety reasons, the battery switches off be-

fore 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 charg-

ing 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 left-hand Display key

(OK).

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 tele-

phone automatically synchronises date and time

from the service provider network.

If your service provider does not support this func-

tionality, the date and time must be set manually.

To do this, press the left Display key

under

"Menu", then keep pressing the "down arrow" key

until "Settings" is displayed. Then press the

key under "OK" three times to access "Set-

tings", then "Phone Settings", then "Time and Date".

Select "Set date" then "Set time", and use the key-

pad to enter the current date and time.

You can close the settings by repeatedly pressing

the

key under "Back", and also by pressing the

red

hang-up key once.

The correct date and time are then shown on the

display.

Note The internal device memory can only

store a few short recordings. If you

want to make recordings more fre-

quently, inserting a memory card is

recommended.

Alarm

To use your phone as an alarm, open

"Alarm" from the main menu.

Five alarms are displayed. Use the

and

keys to select an alarm and change its settings by

pressing the left display key

In Settings, you can switch an alarm on and off, and

set wake-up time, ring tone and type (ring, vibrate

or both).

An alarm symbol is shown in the top left of the dis-

play as soon as an alarm is enabled.

At the wake-up time, the phone rings and/or vi-

brates and shows the date and time. "Stop" and

"Snooze", controlled from the left and right display

keys

, are also displayed. "Stop" ends the

alarm function. "Later" delays the wake-up call by

about 5 minutes.

As with a conventional alarm, the device automati-

cally turns off when you select "Stop", and must be

turned back on if, for example, you wish to be wok-

en again the next morning.

In "Advanced mode", you also have the option of

setting the alarm to ring on a daily basis or on cer-

tain weekdays.

Calculator

To use the calculator on your phone, open

"Calculator" from the main menu.

Use the keypad numerals to enter the

numbers for the calculation. For number of deci-

mals, you enter a point with the  key.

Arithmetic operators +, -, x, / and = are selected

using the

and keys.

Selecting the right display key

first deletes the

calculation result; pressing it a second time closes

the calculator.

Tasks

Over this main menu item, you can config-

ure tasks of which the telephone can later

remind you. Accessing this menu option

shows a list of tasks configured.

The options enable you to add new tasks and ed-

it/delete existing tasks.

If you add a new task or edit an existing task, enter

a date, time and subject.

At the time selected, the telephone displays the

date, time and subject whilst emitting a ring tone.

Use the left display key

to confirm the task,

and the right display key

to be reminded of the

task again five minutes later.

Available in addition to date, time and subject in

"Advanced mode" when creating or editing tasks is

the ability to set reminder times before tasks and

automatic repeats of tasks.

Bluetooth

Your Tiptel Ergophone 6160 is compatible

with Bluetooth headsets and hands-free

kits.

The function can be enabled and disabled from this

main menu option.

In "Advanced mode", you can also specify whether

your mobile can be seen by other Bluetooth devic-

es, change the name of your mobile, show coupled

Bluetooth devices, add new devices and configure

other settings.

Settings

With this menu item, you can perform most

of your telephone settings. The Settings

menu has several sub-menus that also

have sub-categories for settings.

Your phone is supplied with convenient default set-

tings so that you need only customise individual

settings when needed.

Only a few setting options are available in the

"Basic" user setting. Switching to "Advanced mode"

provides considerably more setting options. Set-

tings configured in "Advanced mode" are retained

on reverting back to "Beginner mode".

Phone settings

Here you can set the date, time, tones, volumes

and language.

Time and date

Enter the current date and time here.

If you set "Auto update of time" to "On", the phone

automatically takes date and time from the service

provider network, and automatically adjusts for

transitions between summer and winter time and

changes across time zones. This service is not of-

fered by all providers however.

Tone settings

Here you can set the tones for incoming calls and

messages, for switching the device on and off, for

key presses and for call announcements.

Talking keys

A special function on this device is the setting of

"Talking keys" - these can be enabled from "Tone

settings" "Keypad". If "Talking keys" is enabled,

the phone announces the digits pressed.

Number announcement

If number announcement is enabled for incoming

calls, the phone announces the digits of the caller's

number before sounding the ring tone.

Volume

Here you can set the volume for the ringing, mes-

sage and button tones.

Language

The language of display messages is set here. If

"Automatic" is set, the phone's automatic setting is

the language of the SIM card installed.

Additional phone settings

Additional phone settings are available in "Ad-

vanced mode".

Alert type

You can set here whether the phone rings, vibrates

or does both simultaneously, or vibrates first and

then rings.

Ring type

Here you can select whether the phone signals in-

coming calls by ringing repeatedly or only once.

System alert

Here, you can enable and disable warning and

connexion tones.

Answer mode

Set here is whether the phone accepts incoming

calls when any key is pressed instead of only the

Dial key, or automatically when the headset is used.

Display settings

A separate background image for the display in

standby can be selected. Whether the date and

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 of-

fers 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.

All functions supported by the phone remain avail-

able 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 set-

ting.

The time until automatic key lock can also be set

here.

"Advanced mode" enables you to set up a lock on

the phone in addition to blocking the SIM card.

Note: The phone password (factory setting

) is also used as a prompt for

resetting the device to the factory set-

tings.

Additional settings

Available in the Settings menu of "Advanced mode"

are additional menu options and sub-menus that

are not available in "Beginner mode".

Call settings

Available here as additional settings:

 Enable/disable call waiting

 Enable/disable call divert

 Set up speed dial (prolonged pressing of

assigned key required in standby to use)

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 indi-

vidually.

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-

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 Dis-

play 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 the left display key

Use the

and keys to select the main

menu option you want to move to another place,

and then press the left display key

. The Dis-

Therefore only enable sending of the

SOS SMS if the telephone is able to re-

ceive SMS messages as text.

Emergency volume

Specified here is the volume of the alarm signal

sounded at the start of the emergency call.

User information

You can enter here information shown on the

phone's display when the emergency call function

has ended.

Confirmed emergency call On/Off

Specify here whether you want confirmed emer-

gency call activated. Selecting "Off" here means un-

confirmed emergency call is used.

Cancelling an emergency call

If an emergency call is triggered accidentally, it can

be aborted with prolonged pressing again of the

emergency call key. Briefly pressing the red hang-

up key

cancels the current call, but the emer-

gency call function continues with the next emer-

gency number.
