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.

9
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

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. 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).

12
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

13
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

14
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.

quick succession for the +sign (necessary for mak-
ing international calls).

an SMS or a name in Contacts.

Custom setup
An ergonomic telephone should be simple to use
and make communication more easy for the user.
At the same time it should also meet your needs,
however individual they may be. The tiptel Ergo-
phone 6160 enables you to customise the phone to
your needs in a special way.
Note: Some of these functions can only be
set in "Advanced mode", but are also
available afterwards in "Beginner
mode".
Using the phone as you want to

you to "only" make and receive calls quickly and

importance to comprehensive functionality?
"Tell" this to your tiptel Ergophone 6160 in Settings
Userlevel settings. In Settings, and when using
the phone, the "Beginner mode" setting only makes
available functions that are normally used frequent-
ly. "Advanced mode" gives you access to the full
functionality of the device. As a new user, you are
able to read and write text messages (SMS) for ex-
ample. As an experienced user, you can in addition

18

messages (MMS).
