Introduction
Welcome to the 4G version of your Opis Technology desktop mobile, your new retrostyled mobile phone, resembling a classic fixed-line phone. This short manual provides you with quick start guide, list of special features, and troubleshooting tips.
Quick Start
❶ Assembly
Unpack phone, charger and receiver from the box. Plug the receiver into the
bottom of the phone (1). Connect the charger to the back of the phone and plug
it into any standard household A/C power outlet.
❷ Install a SIM card
Slide your SIM card (not included) into the bottom of the phone oriented as
shown (3).
For simplified operation, use a card that is not PIN locked (see ⓫)
❸ Switch it on
Slide the main switch on the base from the 0 to the 1 position as shown in
(2). The two red status lights (network and SIM card) flash alternately for
about 30 seconds. The alternate flashing indicates that the phone is busy.
Please just wait. After some time, all three status lights should light up
briefly. (Please note that the battery light will remain on if the phone is
charging.) Afterwards the lights provide information on the phone’s status as
described in section Status lights.
❹ Enter a PIN
This step is only required for a PIN-locked SIM card. Please check the
status lights at the bottom of your phone to find out if this is the case (see
section Status lights). Pick up the receiver, wait for the busy tone (see
section Receiver Tones) and dial:
Format: | <PIN (4 digits)> |
---|---|
Example: | if the PIN is 1234: 1234 |
⇒ if the PIN is accepted the phone rings once.
Note: After 3 failed attempts your SIM card will be locked and it is necessary to dial the PUK and a new PIN:
Format: | <PUK (8 digits)>#<new PIN (4 digits)> |
---|---|
Example: | if the PUK is 88888888 and the PIN is 1234: 88888888#1234 |
⇒ if the PIN is accepted the phone rings once.
The phone is now ready for normal operation. (If a PIN or PUK is not accepted
the phone rings twice and you can try again. For details on phone rings see
section Ring signals.)
❺ Make a call
Pick up the receiver, wait for the dial-tone (see section Receiver Tones / if
you don’t hear a dial-tone check the Status lights), and dial the number:
Format: | |
---|---|
Example: | if the number is 0123456789: 0123456789 |
⇒ you will now be connected to the dialled number.
The Opis Technology telephone connects you automatically after a dial pause of
6 seconds (configurable, see ❿). During this pause, beeps are played in the
receiver to inform you about progress.
Tip: To tell the phone to start a connection immediately, dial a final *.
Tip: You can Redial the last number by dialling #/R (PushMeFon mobile
only #) instead of the
❻ Receive a call
Pick up the receiver to accept a call.
Tip: if the receiver is not on the hook, for example because you are
taking your Opis Technology mobile phone with you in a bag, the phone still
rings and you can connect by replacing the receiver and taking it off again.
Mobile Phone use
Like any other mobile phone, the Opis 60s mobile and Opis PushMeFon mobile
contain a battery that needs to be charged before use. To charge, simply plug
the charger into the back of the phone and plug it into any standard household
A/C power outlet. You can check the charge status as described in Status
lights below.
Advanced Features
❼ Entering/Changing a local area code
The desktop mobile can save a local area code (to fully emulate fixed line
phone behaviour). To do so, you must first program that code. Pick up the
receiver and dial:
Format: | 01# |
---|---|
Example: | if the area code is 0351: 01#0351 |
⇒ if the local area code is accepted the phone rings once.
From now on it will no longer be necessary to dial the area code for local
numbers.
NOTE: This function only works where local area codes start with a 0, for
example it doesn’t work in the USA or Canada. Once enabled you can disable the
feature again, simply by dialling 01.
❽ Using a network short-dial number (eg recharge, mailbox)
You can use short-dial numbers within your network by dialling the number
followed by an extra #. Pick up the receiver and dial:
Format: | |
---|---|
Example: | if the GSM network short dial is 2222: 2222# |
⇒ you will now be connected to the dialled number.
❾ Quick-dials
The Opis 60s mobile and PushMeFon mobile support entering nine quick dial
numbers. To program or change a quick dial number, pick up the receiver and
dial:
Format: | 02#<quick dial number (1-9)># |
---|---|
Example: | if the number is 08154711 and is to be saved as quick dial 5: |
02#5#08154711
⇒ if the number is accepted the phone rings once.
To use a quick dial number, pick up the receiver and dial:
Format: | *<the quick dial number (1-9)> |
---|---|
Example: | if you would like to connect to quick dial 5: *5 |
⇒ you will be connected to the stored number.
❿ Changing the call connection delay
Normally, the Opis Technology desktop mobile automatically connects a call 6
seconds after dialling the last digit. This delay can be changed in 2 second
increments as follows. Pick up the receiver and dial:
Format: | 03#<(1-9)> (1 x 2 seconds to 9 x 2 seconds delay). |
---|---|
Example: | if you would like to set the connection delay to 4 seconds (2×2 sec |
onds = 4 seconds): 03#2
⇒ if the new dial delay is accepted, the phone rings once.
⓫ Disabling/Enabling the SIM card PIN lock
You can disable (recommended) or enable your SIM card PIN lock. Pick up the
receiver and dial:
Format: | 04#<0-1># |
---|---|
Example: | if your PIN is 1234 and you would like disable the PIN lock: |
04#0#1234
⇒ if the PIN lock setting is accepted the phone rings once.
If the setting is not accepted the phone rings twice and you can try again.
⓬ Disabling/Enabling Roaming lock
You can enable or disable (default) the roaming lock. When the roaming lock is
active, the telephone can only connect to the home network. Pick up the
receiver and dial:
Format: | 05#<0-1> (0 – no roaming lock, 1- roaming lock enabled) |
---|---|
Example: | to disable roaming connections: 05#1 |
⇒ if the new setting is accepted the phone rings once.
If the setting is not accepted the phone rings twice and you can try again.
⓭ Setting the speaker level
The speaker level of the receiver can be changed from 1 (lowest) to 9
(highest). Pick up the receiver and dial:
Format: | 06#<1-9> |
---|---|
Example: | to set the speaker level to 5 (medium): 06#5 |
⇒ if the new speaker level is accepted the phone rings once.
⓮ Sending IMEI Number and Network Identification by SMS
Sometimes our customer service or your network operator may require this
information. You can send it via SMS to any phone number. (Please note that
this only works if your contract includes the sending of text messages and
while your Opis desktop mobile is connected to a network. For sake of
simplicity you can also find the IMEI number underneath your telephone) Pick-
up the receiver and dial:
Format: | 07# |
---|---|
Example: | to send IMEI and network identification to 01234567: 07#01234567 |
⇒ if the SMS was sent, the telephone rings once
⓯ Sending logging information to Opis Technology
Opis desktop mobiles support modern network technology worldwide. Due to the
complexity of this, there is a risk of problems occurring. This function helps
us understand a problem by providing us with relevant data for analysis (no
personal information or caller lists is transferred). Pick-up the receiver and
dial:
Format: | 001 |
---|---|
Example: | to send the phone log to Opis Technology: 001 |
⇒ if the log was sent, the telephone rings once
⓰ Forwarding text messages (SMS)
In line with its retro appearance, your Opis desktop mobile does not have a
screen. However, it is sometimes required to display text messages (eg when
registering a new SIM-card). For this purpose you can set up forwarding text
messages to a number of your choice. Pick-up the receiver and dial:
Format: | 002# |
---|---|
Example: | to forward text messages to 01234567: 002#01234567 |
⇒ if the forward was set-up, the telephone rings once
Hint: Test if everything is set-up correctly by sending a text message to
your Opis desktop mobile now.
Hint: To disable all text message forwarding simply use this function
without a destination number, i.e. 002#.
⓱ Configuring for a cell phone service provider
IMPORTANT: Only use this function if there are issues operating your Opis
desktop mobile.
The number needed to identify your cell phone service provider (
Format: | 003# |
---|---|
Example: | to set-up for AT&T USA: 003#005 |
⇒ if the configuration was successful, the telephone rings once
⓲ Reset to factory defaults
To reset all configurations of your Opis Desktop Mobile to the initial
settings, pick up the receiver and dial:
Format: | 08 |
---|---|
Example: | to restore factory defaults: 08 |
⇒ if the original settings were restored the phone rings once.
⓳ Special operating modes
Opis 4G desktop mobiles support three special operating modes, which, for
example, enable demonstration use (at trade fairs, advertising stands, etc.)
and can also help persons with memory loss.
The operating modes are each protected with a PIN number (not to be confused
with the SIM-card PIN). Only with this PIN number can a desktop mobile be
reset from the special operating mode to normal mode. Other settings cannot be
changed while a special operating mode is active and resetting the phone is
not allowed.
⓳① Only quick dials and emergency calls
This mode only allows the use of quick dials as defined in ❾ as well as the
emergency numbers 112, 110 and 911. All other numbers result in the line busy
tone. To enable this mode, pick up the receiver and dial:
Format: | 00#1# |
---|---|
Example: | to enable mode 1 and set the 4-digit PIN to 1234: 00#1#1234 |
⇒ if the mode was set successfully the phone rings once.
⓳② Only national numbers and no emergency calls
This mode only allows the use of national phone numbers. The emergency numbers
112, 110 and 911 are not allowed. Short dials as set in ❾ only work if they
are national numbers.
To enable this mode, pick up the receiver and dial:
Format: | 00#2# |
---|---|
Example: | to enable mode 2 and set the 4-digit PIN to 1234: 00#2#1234 |
⇒ if the mode was set successfully the phone rings once.
⓳③ Immediate dial of one number on pick-up
This mode automatically dials the quick-dial programmed as *1 (see ❾ ) as soon
as the receiver is picked up. All dial inputs are ignored. Incoming calls can
still be answered by picking up the receiver when the phone rings. To enable
this mode, pick up the receiver and dial:
Format: | 00#3# |
---|---|
Example: | to enable mode 3 and set the 4-digit PIN to 1234: 00#2#1234 |
⇒ if the mode was set successfully the phone rings once.
⓳⓪ Disabling special modes
The special modes ⓳① and ⓳② can be disabled at any time by picking up the
receiver and dialling:
Format: | 00#0# |
---|---|
Example: | if your chosen PIN was 1234: 00#0#1234 |
⇒ if special modes were disabled and normal operation is again active the phone rings once.
IMPORTANT: Special mode ⓳③ cannot be disabled this easily, because picking up the receiver will always lead to dialling short dial 1. To end this mode, please switch off the telephone. For the 60s mobile 4G then rotate the dial disc to the 1 position and hold it there, for the PushMeFon mobile 4G press and hold both # and . Now switch on the telephone (still holding the dial disc or pressing the buttons) and wait for about 30 seconds. Now you can disable this special mode in the same way as described for ⓳① and ⓳② above.
