C35 S.QUAD with Integrated Esim Radio Module

User Manual s.QUAD C35/C45

Introduction

Congratulations on your new Swissphone receiver! The s.QUAD is a top-range device that provides a combination of user-friendly design, high carrying comfort, and top quality. It is equipped with four buttons and a graphical display for easy operation. The s.QUAD can be custom configured, so some functions described in this brief operating manual may be missing on your device.

User Menu

To switch from the home screen to the user menu, press the OK confirmation button. Use the BACK and FORWARD navigation buttons to navigate through the menu. Press the OK button to confirm a selection or a changed value. Every button press activates the backlight. To go back to the home screen, press the ESC button. If you hold down the ESC button for two seconds, you’ll return from the submenu to the home screen. If you don’t press any of the buttons for a pre-configured time interval, the s.QUAD will automatically return to the home screen. To release the key lock, press the two navigation buttons BACK and FORWARD simultaneously.

Getting started
To turn on the s.QUAD, press and hold one of the four buttons until the start screen or start text appears on the display. The home screen will be visible after a few seconds, and the s.QUAD is ready for operation.

Button function and navigation
The BACK and FORWARD navigation buttons are used to navigate through the menu, while the OK confirmation button is used for selection. If you hold down the BACK navigation button in the home screen, the start-up image or start-up text appears. If you hold down the FORWARD navigation button in the home screen for two seconds, you’ll reach the secondary menu (only if configured in the menu). Functions that are seldom used can be placed on a second menu level (secondary menu) to declutter the main menu. When you leave the secondary menu, the device automatically returns to the start screen.

Display

The home screen is divided into five sections: Status line, Profile, Time, alarm clock, User line, and Notification line (unread messages, charger masks, etc.). The status line displays symbols that indicate alert type, out of range display, Bluetooth, key lock, battery level, cellular status, and GPS status. The s.QUAD provides different alert types such as loud alert, quiet alert, ascending alert, discrete alert, silent alert, and no reception of alert messages. If the battery is low, the display will show a flashing charging animation with a message to charge the battery. If there is a wrong or faulty power source, the display will show a flashing message. If Bluetooth is turned on but not connected to a device, the display will show a Bluetooth symbol. If Bluetooth is connected to a device, the display will show a Bluetooth symbol with the name of the device. If the s.QUAD is in key lock mode, the display will show a key symbol. If the s.QUAD is connecting to the mobile phone network, the display will show a flashing message.

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.

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 (smartphone). 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 ter-minal (smartphone), you must first delete the active connection.

Emergency call function (C45 only)
Alarm siren
Use the alarm siren to signal persons pay attention to you, which are located nearby.
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
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.

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!
