switel VS700 User Manual Download Page 2

Basic Information  

The SWITEL VS700 is a Smartphone customized for special needs with an 

Android 9.0 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  (+30 dB), a loud 

ringer (+90 dB) , 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 9.0" and the 

pre-installed Google Apps please use the relevant sources on the Internet. 

Under “Settings“ -> “Apps & Notifications“ -> “Advanced“ -> “Default apps“ to 

switch from “Switel“ (SimpleLauncher) to “Android“ (Launcher3). After switching 

the phone should be restarted in order to 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.
