ward pointing arrow indi-
cates further profiles are

Select Profile can be active. On the other hand multiple
Toggle-Profiles can be activated together. The picture to
the right shows Select-Profiles “Profil 1” and “Profil 2”
are available, currently active is “Profile 1”.
Toggle-Profiles may be (de)activated independent of any
other profile. You can recognize Toggle-Profiles by their
“check-box” before the profile name. If only one address
is configured in a Toggle-Profile (in this case RIC5), the
address can be turned on or off on the terminal.
9. Alert
Inside the “Alert” menu you can choose between the fol-
lowing alert modes with SEL:
• Speak On reception of a message, the selected alert
pattern (melody) is played. Following this, the
message is read out loud. In case the melody
is set to endless, the message will only be
read out once the alerting has been interrup-
ted with OK.
• Loud The melody for the address is played. To lis-
ten to the message, please push OK after the
melody.
• Discreet A message is first indicated with by vibration,
followed by a short beep.
• Silent Incoming messages can be advertised by
vibration only. Messages can not be played
back by pressing OK. There is no sound
from the device at all, even button clicks are
muted. Vibration may be enabled/disabled in
a separate menu-entry.
• Off Messages are received but no indication hap-
pens (apart from showing the envelope icon).
Messages may not be played back with OK.
10. Speech Volume
Set your preferred volume for the speech output. There
are eight volume levels available ranging from 1 (low) to 8
(loud). This setting does not affect the volume of the alert
tones. To change alert tones, please select a different
melody (refer to chapter 11). Melodies may be composed
with the programming software (please refer to the docu-
mentation for PSWplus). Melodies can be composed from
up to eight different tones with two volume levels.
In case a setting has been changed unintentionally, sim-
ply wait a moment until the device returns to stand by
mode. Any changes that have not explicitly been saved
(with OK) will be restored to the previous value. On each
button press the backlight will turn on.

ded into three areas: The
top line, called status line,
shows icons indicating cur-
rent alerting mode (“Loud”
in this picture) as well as
battery status. Additionally
the status line signals unread messages and possible out
of range conditions. The middle area shows the currently
active profile name, or the charger profile name if the ter-
minal is inside a charger.
At the bottom the time of the day is shown. In case the
alerting mode is set to “off” the watch will be hidden by
the information “Alerting off!”.The following icons can
appear in the status line:
5. Reading Messages

out loud. You will have to switch to an alerting mode such

message.

alert time as well as the name of the address or the
RIC-Index (in this case 1A). A downward pointing arrow
