Do you have a question about the KhoCell K017 and is the answer not in the manual?

Overview

This document describes a mobile phone, outlining its functions, usage, and maintenance.

General Information

The mobile phone is designed for general use, and its display and features may vary depending on software and network operators. Users are advised to read the manual carefully to ensure proper operation.

Safety Information

Road Safety: Prioritize road safety; avoid using a hand-held phone while driving. Use hands-free accessories if calls are unavoidable. In some regions, dialing or receiving calls while driving is illegal.

Aircraft Safety: Switch off the phone in aircraft as wireless devices can cause interference. Using a mobile phone in flight is illegal and risky.

Risky Areas: Turn off the mobile phone before entering areas susceptible to explosion, such as oil stations, oil tanks, chemical plants, or places where blasting is underway. Observe all relevant laws, codes, and regulations.

Special Regulations: Adhere to special regulations in hospitals and other areas where mobile phone use is forbidden or may cause interference/danger. Use the phone properly near medical apparatuses like pacemakers, hearing aids, and other electronic medical devices to avoid interference.

Interference: Radio interference can affect conversation quality. Avoid touching the antenna area (located below the microphone) during a conversation to prevent deterioration of call quality.

Qualified Service: Only qualified personnel should install or repair phone equipment. Attempting repairs independently can be dangerous and void the warranty.

Accessories and Batteries: Use only approved accessories and batteries.

Sensible Use: Use the phone in a normal and proper manner.

Emergency Calls: Ensure the phone is switched on and in service. Dial the emergency number (e.g., 112), press the Dial key, state your location and situation briefly, and do not end the call until instructed. Note that not all features, including emergency call service, may be supported by all networks or due to radio transmission problems. Consult your local network operator.

Precaution: The mobile phone is a finely designed device. Exercise special care during use.

  • Keep the phone and all fittings out of children's reach.
  • Keep the phone dry; protect it from rain, moisture, liquids, or corrosive substances.
  • Avoid dusty environments, which can damage active parts.
  • Do not store the phone in high-temperature places, as this can shorten the life of electronic circuits and damage the battery and plastic parts.
  • Do not store the phone in chilly places, as moisture may form inside when moved to a warmer environment, damaging electronic circuits.
  • Avoid throwing, knocking, or shocking the phone, as this can destroy internal circuits and high-precision components.

Getting Started

Installing SIM Cards and Battery: A SIM card contains essential information such as your mobile phone number, PIN, PIN2, PUK, PUK2, IMSI, network information, contacts, and short messages.

  • Installation Procedure:
    1. Hold the End key to power off the mobile phone.
    2. Remove the back cover above the battery.
    3. Take out the battery.
    4. Insert the SIM card gently into the slot, aligning the corner cut with the notch and the gold plate facing downwards, until it is fully inserted.
    5. Align the metallic contacts of the battery with those in the battery slot and press the battery down until it locks.
  • Important Notes:
    • Wait a few seconds after powering off before removing or inserting a SIM card.
    • Handle SIM cards with caution to avoid damage from friction or bending.
    • Keep the mobile phone and its fittings, including SIM cards, out of children's reach.

Using Codes: The mobile phone and SIM cards support various passwords to prevent misuse. When prompted, input the correct code and press OK. Clear and re-enter if a wrong code is input.

  • Phone Lock Code: Prevents misuse of the mobile phone. The initial code is 1234. If set, it must be entered when powering on the phone.
  • PIN (Personal Identification Number): A 4 to 8-digit code that prevents unauthorized use of your SIM card. Supplied by the network operator. If PIN check is enabled, it must be entered each time the phone is powered on. Three incorrect PIN inputs will lock the SIM card.
    • Unlocking Methods (for locked SIM card):
      1. Input the correct PUK as prompted.
      2. Input the new PIN and press OK.
      3. Input the new PIN again and press OK.
      4. If the PUK is correct, the SIM card will be unlocked, and the PIN reset.
    • PUK (Personal Unlocking Key): Required to change a blocked PIN. Supplied with the SIM card. If not, contact your network operator. Ten incorrect PUK inputs will invalidate the SIM card, requiring replacement from the network operator.
  • Barring Code: Required for setting the call barring function. Obtain this code from your network operator.

Charging the Battery: The lithium battery can be used immediately after unpacking.

  • Battery Level Indication:
    • The phone monitors and displays battery state via an icon in the upper right corner.
    • "Battery low" prompt appears when energy is insufficient. An alert tone will sound if set.
    • A charging animation appears during charging and disappears when complete.
  • Using a Travel Adapter:
    1. Install the battery before charging.
    2. Connect the travel charger adapter to the charging slot, ensuring it is fully inserted.
    3. Insert the travel charger plug into a power outlet.
    4. During charging, the battery level grid in the icon flickers until fully charged.
    5. It is normal for the battery to become warm during charging.
    6. The battery icon stops flickering when charging is complete.
  • Important Notes:
    • Ensure the charger, earphone, and USB cable plugs are inserted in the correct direction to avoid charging failure or other problems.
    • Verify that the standard voltage and frequency of the local mains supply match the rated voltage and power of the travel charger.

Using the Battery: Battery performance is influenced by ambient temperature, network configuration, signal strength, chosen functions/settings, phone fittings, and usage mode (voice, data, etc.).

  • Optimal Performance Guidelines:
    • Use only batteries provided by the vendor to prevent damage or injury during charging.
    • Power off the mobile phone before removing the battery.
    • New batteries or those unused for long periods require longer charging times. If the battery voltage is too low to power on the phone, charge it for an extended period; the battery icon may not flicker immediately.
    • Charge the battery in a room temperature environment.
    • Stop using the battery immediately if it produces odor, overheats, cracks, distorts, shows other damage, or leaks electrolyte.
    • Batteries wear out over time. If charging time increases and conversation duration decreases despite proper charging, purchase a standard battery from the OEM or an approved battery. Poor-quality fittings can harm the phone and pose danger.
  • Environmental Protection: Do not litter batteries. Return old batteries to the manufacturer or designated reclamation areas.

Powering On/Off the Mobile Phone:

  • Power On: Hold the End key until a power-on animation appears.
    • If prompted, input the phone lock code (default 1234) and press OK.
    • If prompted, input the PIN (provided by network operator for new SIM cards) and press OK.
    • The phone will then enter the standby interface.
  • Power Off: Hold the End key for a while.

Linking to the Network: After successful SIM card and phone unlocking, the phone automatically searches for an available network. Once registered, the network operator's name is displayed, and calls can be made or received.

Dialing Calls: From the standby interface, press the Dial-pad to enter the virtual dial pad. Input the area code and telephone number using the number keys, then press the dial key.

Using the Headset: Inserting a headset into the slot automatically activates headset mode. Ensure it is fully inserted at the bottom of the slot for normal operation.
