Introduction

Congratulations on your new Swissphone receiver! When you purchased the news.QUAD, you chose a top-range device. The s.QUAD delights with its optimum combination of user-friendly design, high carrying comfort, and top quality. It offers easy operation via four buttons and a graphical display. The s.QUAD can be a custom confi guard. For this reason, some of the functions described in this brief operating manual may be missing 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.

Getting started

The s.QUAD works with either a dry cell battery or a rechargeable battery. Insert the power source into the s.QUAD, make sure that you observe correct polarity. The s.QUAD will turn on automatically. 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.

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 (smartphone). 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.

As soon as the Bluetooth interface is turned on on the s.QUAD, a connection with the remote terminal (smartphone) is set up (advertising). The s.QUAD is visible on the remote terminal (smartphone) 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 unauthorized connection, a six-digit number (passkey) is displayed on the s.QUAD during connection setup and you must enter it on the remote terminal (smartphone).
The s.QUAD remembers the connection with the remote terminal. 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 connection.

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 color of the LED changes to green. The charge state and the name of the charging profi le are shown on the s.QUAD display. The two charging profi less define the alert in a single device charger and in the multi-device charger.
