How to set up your Doro 8040
When you first get your phone, there is a few actions that you need to
take before starting to use it.
Step 1 — Unbox your new phone
The first step is to unbox the phone and assess the items and equipment
included in the delivery. Make sure to read through the manual so you
can familiarise yourself with the equipment and the basic functions.For
more information about accessories or other Doro products please visit
www.doro.com or contact our Helpline.
• The items supplied with the device and any available accessories
may vary depending on the region or service provider.
• The supplied items are designed for this device and may not be compatible with other devices.
• Appearances and specifications are subject to change without prior
notice.
• You can purchase additional accessories from your local Doro retailer. Make sure they are compatible with the device before
purchase.
• Only use batteries, chargers and accessories that have been approved for use with this particular model. Connecting other accessories may be dangerous and may invalidate the phone's type approval
and warranty.

English
Step 2 — Getting started
Before you start using your new phone you may need:
• nano-SIM card. To take full advantage of your new smartphone’s ca-
pabilities, you should install a SIM card. The SIM card will enable
you to place calls or use mobile data to connect to various Internet
services. Your mobile service provider will give you a card and the
codes needed for it (PIN and PUK) when you buy a mobile contract
or a prepaid SIM card. Make sure you get a suitable contract that fit
your needs regarding calls and mobile data.
• Google account. To be able to fully use your new smartphone you
need a Google Account. If you don’t have one yet, no worries, as you
will be guided through a account setup when starting the phone for
the first time. It can however be a good idea to think of a Username
and Password as these will be used for many services, such as
Gmail, Google +, Google Drive, Google Photos and more.
• Memory card (optional). From Android 6.0, you can select to use a
memory card (microSD) as extended internal memory or as a portable memory.
• Wi-Fi access. If you have a Wi-Fi access point available, it’s always
good to connect to that to reduce costs for data traffic and possibly
increase data speed.

the exposed part of the SIM card to pull it

be dangerous and may invalidate the phone's type approval and
warranty.

it. The PIN code or pattern screen lock, together with your Google
account login is the basis for the anti-theft features on this phone.
Enabling a secure screen lock and having a Google account on your
phone will make it difficult for a thief or other person getting access to
your personal data or even resetting your phone. Keep the secure
