Phone settings

In the "Phone settings" tab, you can change the phone number and the name, and you can also define the operating mode. All further fields (greyed out) can only be made directly on the phone and only serve as information in this tab.

5.5.1 Defining the operation mode Operation mode 0:

In this operation mode, the device is operated as a normal phone. The selected phone memory is available as a directory. There are no restrictions in the handset menu tree. This operation mode is the default setting.

Tip: If you select operation mode 0, please ensure that the display area "PHONE" is displayed in the PTCarPhone, otherwise you will not be able to see the transmitted directory entries on the phone.

Operation mode 1:

With this operation mode, use of the directory is limited. Only the internal directory is available. The menus for editing the directory no longer appear on the handset. However, there are no restrictions relating to dialling phone numbers and sending SMS messages via the input keys.

Operation mode 2:

The same functions apply for the directory as in operation mode 1. Phone selection via the input keys is only available to a limited degree. Only numbers that appear in the directory and have been released can be dialled. These restrictions also apply for sending SMS messages. 112 and 911 can still be dialled. The call diversion menu item is not activated.

Note: Please also refer to the user guide belonging to your PTCarPhone.

5.5.3 Changing the password

With "Change password", you can change the password for accessing the PTCarPhone.

To change the password, click on "Change password".

The following dialogue box appears:

In the "Old password" field, enter the password that you have used up until the change (default password is "peitel"). In the "New password" field, enter your new password. In the "Repeat new password" field, enter your new password again.

Note: Please make a note of your new password. After successful transmission, the new password is stored in the PTCarPhone. If you need to restart your PTCarPhone after a delete procedure or new installation in the PTPhoneManager II, the new password will need to be entered to restart the phone. The default password when the device is supplied is "peitel".

Clicking on "Apply" applies the password and it is automatically transmitted to the PTCarPhone via data call. Clicking on "Cancel" cancels the procedure and the old password is retained.

Warning: Please make a note of your passwords for each phone. If you forget one of your PTCarPhone passwords, this can only be reset at the factory.

5.6 Database

With each action, the software accesses the database by default. You should therefore ensure that this database is not deleted, damaged or changed by other programs. For this reason, a security feature has been integrated into the software to back up the database.

To secure your current database, click on "File > Save database" in the menu list. The following dialogue box is opened:

You can now select where you want to save the database back up, and confirm your selection with
