User Manual
s.QUAD X15/X35
1. Introduction
Congratulations on your new
Swissphone receiver! When you
purchased the new s.QUAD, you
chose a top-range device. The
s.QUAD delights with its optimum
combination of user-friendly design,
high carrying comfort and top quali-
ty. It offers easy operation via four
buttons and a graphical display.
The s.QUAD can be custom configu-
red. For this reason, some of the
functions described in this brief operating manual may be mis-
sing on your device.
This brief operating manual provides important information that
will help you get the most out of your device. Always keep this
manual ready to hand.
We wish you success in using the s.QUAD.
2. Getting started
Insert power source
The s.QUAD works with either a dry cell battery or a rechargeable
battery. Insert the power source into the s.QUAD, making sure
that you observe correct polarity. The s.QUAD will turn on auto-
matically. A functional test is then performed. After the test,
please specify whether you have inserted a dry cell battery or a
rechargeable battery. The device is now ready for operation.
Further information on the power supply can be found in the
chapter ‘Charging the battery/power supply’.
Turn on
To manually turn on the s.QUAD, you must press and hold one of
the four buttons until the start screen or start text appears on the
display. The home screen is visible after a few seconds and the
s.QUAD is ready for operation.
3. Button function and navigation
ESC button
– Leave the current menu level
– Go to the home screen
by holding the button
You activate the alarm siren by pressing and holding down the
OK button for two seconds. To return to the menu press the OK
button again and the siren can be switched off.
SOS emergency call (In combination with Smartphone and
SOS subscription)
You can transmit an emergency call by pressing and holding
down the OK button. After two seconds the pre-alert timer starts
the count down. During this prealarm period, the OK button must
remain pressed until the timer has counted down to zero and the
message ‘Emergency call triggered’ appears in the display.
14. Charging the battery/power supply
During the charging process, the LED of the charger glows
orange. A full charge takes approximately four hours. At the end
of the charging process, the colour of the LED changes to green.
The charge state and the name of the charging profile are shown
on the s.QUAD display. The two charging profiles define the alert
in a single device charger and in the multi-device charger.
Power source
You can use the following AA or LR6, AM3 or Mignon batteries as
a power source:
• Dry cell:
leak-proof alkaline dry cell battery
• Rechargeable battery:
nickel-metal hydride rechargeable
battery
Important:
• Alkaline batteries must not be charged. There is a risk of
explosion!
• For safety reasons, only use original chargers from the
accessory product range of Swissphone Wireless AG.
• Never expose dry cell batteries or rechargeable batteries to
open flames. There is a risk of explosion!
• Keep out of reach of children.

11. Alarm clock
Set alarm clock
Select the ‘Alarm clock’ menu. Use the
FORWARD and BACK navigation buttons to
turn the alarm clock on or off. You can also
use the FORWARD and BACK navigation
buttons to set the alarm time. Press the OK
button to confirm.
The activated alarm clock function is displayed with the corre-
sponding symbol in the home screen.
Acknowledge alarm
When the alarm clock sounds, the following selection appears:
Snooze or Stop. Selecting ‘Stop’ will end the current alarm call.
However, the alarm clock remains activated and will wake you
on the next day. Selecting ‘Snooze’ will initially turn off the alarm
sound. However, it will sound again after five minutes.
The s.QUAD turns on with the alarm call
If the alarm clock is turned on and the s.QUAD is turned off, the
s.QUAD will turn on at the alarm time and the alarm clock
sounds.
12. Connection to an external device
(for example, smartphone)
The s.QUAD has a Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy interface that can
be used to communicate with a remote terminal (smart-
phone). You can turn the interface on or off using the menu. If the
interface is turned off, then the s.QUAD cannot be accessed via
Bluetooth. The status of the Bluetooth interface is shown using a
symbol in the status line.
Connection setup
As soon as the Bluetooth interface is turned on on the s.QUAD, a
connection with the remote terminal (smartphone) is set up (ad-
vertising). The s.QUAD is visible on the remote terminal (smart-
phone) as soon as advertising has been successful.
Pairing
During advertising, the s.QUAD transmits an identifying name
(s.QUAD and serial number) via the Bluetooth interface. You can
now select the relevant s.QUAD on the remote terminal (smart-
phone).
To prevent an inadvertent or unauthorised connection, a six-digit
number (passkey) is displayed on the s.QUAD during connection
setup and you must enter it on the remote terminal (smart-
phone).
The s.QUAD remembers the connection with the remote termi-
nal. This applies even after the battery has been replaced. If the
device wishes to connect with the s.QUAD again, the connection
is established automatically. As long as the connection remains
active, the s.QUAD will not be visible to other remote terminals
(smartphones).
Terminating a connection
If you would like to connect the s.QUAD with another remote
terminal (smartphone), you must first delete the active connec-
tion.

WARD navigation buttons to navigate through the menu. To con-
firm a selection you have made or a changed value, press the OK

hold down the ESC button for two seconds, you return from the
submenu to the home screen. If you do not press any of the but-
tons for a pre-configured time interval, the s.QUAD automatically
returns to the home screen.
