This document describes the Artfone C1, a mobile phone designed for simplicity and ease of use, particularly for individuals who may prefer a more straightforward device. The phone features a classic candy bar design with a physical keypad and a clear display. Its primary functions revolve around basic communication, with an emphasis on accessibility and safety features.
The Artfone C1 has a compact form factor, making it easy to hold and operate. On the front, it features a receiver (1) at the top for audio during calls, and an LCD screen (2) below it for displaying information. The main interface is dominated by a large numeric keypad (8) with clearly labeled buttons. Above the keypad are the left soft key (3) and the right soft key (4), which have context-dependent functions. A green button (6) is dedicated to answering or making calls, while a red button (7) is used to end calls or power the device on/off. Navigation is facilitated by an up/down button (5).
On the sides of the phone, there are several important features. A side button (15) is present for turning the flashlight on or off, and another side button (16) is used for adjusting the volume. The phone also includes a 3.5mm audio jack (10) for headphones and a Micro USB socket (11) for charging and data transfer. A flashlight LED (12) is located on the device, providing a convenient light source. For security, there are lock (13) and unlock (14) keypad functions.
Powering On/Off: To power on the Artfone C1, the user needs to press and hold the red button (7) for 2.5 seconds. To power off, ensure the keypad is unlocked, then press and hold the red button (7) for 2.5 seconds again.
