Basic Information
The SWITEL eSmart M2 is a Smartphone customized for special needs with an
Android 5.1 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, 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 5.1" please
use the relevant sources on the Internet.
To change the operating system from the "SWITEL mode" to “Android mode“ open
“Settings“ -> “Advanced Settings" -> "Operating System". After the change, a
restart of the phone is necessary for 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.
