GETTING STARTED
Turning o the PIN request
Turn o the PIN request from the SIM card. If it is not possible, change the
PIN code to 9999 or to same that was used in SIM card before switching
it on the TWIG device. Please refer to TWIG Point Remote Configurator or
TWIG Configurator PC program and TWIG Configuration Guide to change the
PIN code to code the device automatically uses. Download PC Configuration
software and instructions from ftp://support.twigcom.com or ask TWIG sales

Inserting SIM card
Pull the SIM card tray completely out from the tray slot and turn it upside
down for SIM card placement. Attach your SIM card to the tray with the
sticker provided in the sales box. Verify the correct direction of the tray before
pushing it back into slot! In correct direction the device back side and SIM
card are towards you!
Charging
When you start using the device for the first time, you should charge the
battery first. Please note that the battery will reach its full capacity only after
two or three charging times.
TWIG device can be charged with in the sales package provided mains
charger attached to the adapter or as accessory provided charging station.
Device has an integrated lithium-Ion polymer battery. The battery type and
capacity may vary depending on the market area and model of your TWIG
device.
The mains charger should only be used indoors. Make sure the voltage of the
country corresponds to the voltage marked on the charger. When charging,
connect the mini USB connector to the mini USB connector of the charging
adapter. Set the small lump of the charging adapter to the hole at the device
bottom and push the adapter forward until it clicks on its place on front cover.
The device controls the charging status, the battery temperature and
power supply during the charging operation. The ideal temperature range
for charging is +10°...+30°C. Charging the battery above or below these
temperatures may shorten the battery life. Also, the battery may not reach its
full capacity. Charging is not allowed below +0°C or above +45°C.
When charging the Li-ion batteries with the USB charger, about 70% of the
battery capacity will be charged quickly, but charging the remaining 30%
takes relatively more time. Also note that humidity, temperature, age of the
battery and currently used features (e.g. the GNSS*) aect the time spent on
charging. Standard CE-approved USB car charger (5VDC, 500mA) may be
used for charging.
Handsfree use
TWIG device can be used handsfree via its powerful loudspeaker. Therefore
it is not allowed to put the device close to head and ear to avoid loud tones to
cause pain or injure.
Environment’s impact on usage
The device must have an unobstructed view to satellites at any time. In
marginal conditions (e.g. when staying in surroundings with heavy tree cover
or next to high-rise buildings) GNSS* positioning may not work properly.
The device can be used like a standard GSM phone with the limited feature
set. In some cases, the device can be built in clothes or special vests. If the
device is mounted somehow, it must be attached to the surface so that the
back of the device is facing towards body and the top of the phone upwards.
To ensure proper functioning of the GNSS* and GSM, the unit can be covered
with thin low loss material such as plastic, fibre glass or clothes, but not with
metal. This is regarding particularly to GSM and GNSS* antenna areas!

Quick Guide
Temperature ranges
Device usage: -10°C to +50°C, at temperatures below -20°C, or above +55°C,
the battery will not supply power and the device will shut down to prevent
damage. Upon warming up/cooling down, the device will function properly
again.
Battery care, maintenance and disposal
The continuous operating time is less when using an old battery than a new
battery. When storing device for a long time, it should be kept cool and with
fully charged battery in a dry place. Li-Ion batteries do not contain heavy
metals which can damage the environment. The Li-Ion batteries, devices
and device accessories should be disposed according to the country-specific
regulations or returned to the manufacturer for recycling.
