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 com-
patible 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.

Page 8
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.

IMPORTANT!
It makes sense to choose a PIN code or a pattern that is easy to
remember, but try to make it difficult enough so that others can’t guess
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 screen

Tip: Contact your service provider for detailed subscription costs before
activating.
Network services and costs
Your device is approved for use on the 4G LTE FDD 1 (2100), 3 (1800), 7
(2600), 8 (900 MHz), 20 (800) MHz / WCDMA 1 (2100), 2 (1900), 5 (850), 8
(900) MHz / GSM 850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz networks. To use the device,
you need a subscription with a service provider.
Using network services may result in traffic costs. Some product features
require support from the network, and you may need to subscribe to them.
Some operations and features are SIM card and/or network dependent or
dependent on the compatibility of devices and the content formats supported. Some services are subject to a separate charge.
Data roaming On or Off
When you travel with your device and you are switched from your own
network operator's network to another, it’s called roaming. The roaming
state allows you to be reachable and you can make or receive phone calls
regardless of where you are, but it almost always involves a surcharge for
using another operator's network. If you need to access the Internet or
other data services using mobile data traffic, then you need to activate data roaming. To limit your data usage when abroad roaming is Off as default.
Tip: R is shown in the status bar when roaming.
Your phone can still access the Internet over the Wi-Fi connection even if
you disable roaming.
Note! Using data services while roaming can be costly. Contact your service
provider for data roaming rates before you use data roaming.

Reduce battery consumption
Here are some tips on how you may extend the phone’s battery power by
reducing battery consumption.
• Charge your phone often, preferably every day. Charging does not af-
fect the lifetime of the battery.
23
Page 30
English
• When not downloading data from the Internet, which is power con-
suming, disable data connections over mobile networks. Data is still
transmitted over Wi-Fi.
• Turn off Wi-Fi when not in use. Use the notification panel to disable
the features.
• Turn off Bluetooth when not in use. Use the notification panel to dis-
able the features.
• Deactivate auto-syncing of apps and synchronise your applications
manually, like your email, calendar and contacts.
• Use the Battery status menu in your device to see which applications
use the most power.
• Decrease the screen brightness, see The screen brightness, p.32.
• When in areas with no network coverage, turn off your device or acti-
vate the Aeroplane mode. The device repeatedly scans for available
networks which consumes power. See Aeroplane mode, p.36.
• The GPS is also quite battery consuming. If you want to stop apps re-
porting on your location automatically, make sure that Location reporting is off, see How to turn off GPS location services, p.70.
• Use Doro original handsfree devices to listen to music. Handsfree devi-
ces consume less battery than your device's own loudspeakers.
• Lock the screen when not in use, press the Power button and your
display goes to sleep. See Lock screen, p.12.

Hearing aid compatible (HAC)
This telephone is hearing aid compatible. Hearing aid compatibility is not a
guarantee that a specific hearing aid will work with a specific telephone.
Mobile telephones contain radio transmitters that may interfere with hearing aid performance. This phone has been tested for use with hearing aids,
for some of the wireless technologies that it uses, but there may be some
newer wireless technologies that have not been tested yet for use with
hearing aids. To ensure that a specific hearing aid works well with this telephone, test them together before making a purchase.
The standard for hearing aid compatibility contains two types of ratings:
• M: To use your hearing aid in this mode, make sure that your hearing
aid is set to M-mode or acoustic coupling mode, and position the telephone's receiver near the hearing aid’s built-in microphone. For the
best results, try using the telephone in different positions relative to
your hearing aid—for example, placing the receiver slightly above the
ear may result in better performance for hearing aids with microphones positioned behind the ear.
• T: To use your hearing aid in this mode, make sure that your hearing
aid is set to T-mode or telecoil coupling mode (not all hearing aids
have this mode). For the best results, try using the telephone in different positions relative to your hearing aid—for example, placing the receiver slightly below or in front of the ear may result in better
performance.
The Bluetooth connection
You can connect wirelessly to other Bluetooth®compatible devices such as
headsets or other phones.

Reboot the phone
The reason to perform a reboot might be a persistent problem that is impossible to solve or if your device becomes frozen and unresponsive. This
device has an internal battery and therefore the hardware cannot be rebooted by removal of the battery.
• Should you need to reboot the phone press and hold the
Power button and the Volume up key simultaneously for more than 8
seconds to reboot it. After the reboot, the phone will restart
automatically.
Reset the phone
IMPORTANT!
Resetting the phone means that most information, such as downloaded
and installed applications, accounts, system and application data and
settings, will be erased. Be sure to backup any data and files you want to
keep before you perform the reset. A backup is a safety copy of
information. Carefully read all the text below before you start.
The reason to perform a reset might be a persistent problem that is impossible to solve or if you want to pass the phone to someone else.
Note! Everything added to the phone since you got it will be erased!
Exceptions
• Everything saved on an SD card if you have one installed (see Insert
the memory card (optional and not included), p.4 and External memory, p.41).
™
• Applications and data by Google
— if the box in Back up my data is
checked, see Backup, p.39.
• Information you have stored in any cloud storages (or on a computer,
see Connect the phone to a computer, p.37).
IMPORTANT!
Remember the Google account your phone last logged in to. During a
reset Google's anti-theft mechanism requires you to enter the Google
account your phone last logged in to on the startup navigation screen for
identity authentication. Your phone can properly power on only after the
identity authentication passes.

Memory and storage
Note! When you update the phone the available capacity may change.
Your phone has different types of memory and storage possibilities.
Internal storage
The internal storage is used to store downloaded or transferred content
along with your personal settings and data. Examples are alarm, volume
and language settings, emails, bookmarks, contacts, calendar events, photos, videos and music.
External memory
You can use an external memory card to get more storage space or as a
portable memory. There are many different media card standards, use only
compatible memory cards. Compatible card type for this device: microSD,
microSDHC max 32 GB. SD stands for Secure Digital. Lower-capacity cards
store less information. The phone works with or without an SD card installed. We suggest you to use a high speed memory card, especially if
used as extended internal memory. Most applications can read data from a
memory card but only certain apps can save files to this type of memory.
You can, for example, set the camera application to save photos directly to
the memory card.
41
Page 48
English
Note! If you insert an external memory, it is recommended you change the
default storage location. This allows you to save more files on your phone,
like pictures and videos. We recommend that you regularly copy your
photos from the phone's internal storage to your computer as a form of
backup, see Connect the phone to a computer, p.37. These files are found
in the DCIM folder on your phone. DCIM stands for Digital Camera IMages
and it is the default directory structure for digital cameras and for
smartphone cameras.
Free up memory space
The memory in your device tends to fill up as a result of normal usage. If
your phone starts to slow down, or applications suddenly shut down, consider the following:
Delete pictures
• If you use your phone to take a lot of pictures, remember to back
them up on your computer every now and again. Not only will this
prevent you from losing any photos if anything were to happen to
your phone, but it also gives you the opportunity to delete them from
your phone and free up space. You can access your pictures by simply
plugging your phone into your computer via a USB cable, see Connect
the phone to a computer, p.37.
• There are also several services to use if you want to back up your pho-
tos – in many cases, automatically. Preloaded to this phone is the
Google application, Photos, that supports unlimited storage, photo
and video back up, and even create mini-albums for you.
Clear the cache memory
What is cache? When you are surfing the web or using apps on your
phone’s browser, those websites that you visit will be stored on your
phone in an area of memory called cache. The reason is that the next time
you visit the same website or app the phone will load it from cache memory instead of downloading everything again from the server which, take up
time and bandwidth.
1. From the Home screen, tap
Set A general option
Advanced settings.
2. Select Storage.

The cloud
The cloud is not a physical thing. The cloud is a network of servers, and
each server has a different function. Some servers use computing power to
run applications or "deliver a service." For example, when you take a picture on your smartphone, it is stored on your phone's internal memory
drive. However, when you upload the photos to Instagram, you are uploading it to the cloud.
So remember: The Cloud is a network of servers. Some servers provide an
online service, and others allow you to store and access data, like Instagram or Dropbox. Chances are, you encounter the cloud daily. From Google
Drive to Evernote, any time you store information without using up your
phone's internal data, you're storing information in the cloud.
Location based services
LBS stands for Location-Based Service and is a software application for mobile devices that requires knowledge about where the device is located.
The service can be query-based and it can provide you with useful information such as “Where is the nearest restaurant?”. The service can also be
push-based and send you coupons or let you view commute traffic. By law,
location-based services must be permission-based. That means that you
must opt in (actively say yes) to the service in order to use it.
Tip:
by any app.
Note! Turning off location for your device also turns it off for Google apps
and other non-Google apps. This means that apps can’t use your phone's
location, and many useful features will be turned off.

Medical units
The use of equipment that transmits radio signals, for example, mobile phones, can interfere with insufficiently protected medical equipment. Consult a doctor or the manufacturer of the equipment to determine if it has adequate protection against external radio
signals, or if you have any questions. If notices have been put up at health care facilities
instructing you to turn off the unit while you are there, you should comply. Hospitals and
other health care facilities sometimes use equipment that can be sensitive to external radio signals.
Implanted medical devices
To avoid potential interference, manufacturers of implanted medical devices recommend
a minimum separation of 15 cm between a wireless device and the medical device. Persons who have such devices should:
• Always keep the wireless device more than 15 cm from the medical device.
• Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
• Hold the wireless device to the ear opposite the medical device.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn the phone off immediately If you have any questions about using your wireless device with an implanted
medical device, consult your health care provider.
Areas with explosion risk
Always turn off the unit when you are in an area where there is a risk of explosion. Follow
all signs and instructions. There is a risk of explosion in places that include areas where
you are normally requested to turn off your car engine. In these areas, sparks can cause
explosion or fire which can lead to personal injury or even death.
Turn off the unit at filling stations, and any other place that has fuel pumps and auto repair facilities.
Follow the restrictions that apply to the use of radio equipment near places where fuel is
stored and sold, chemical factories and places where blasting is in progress.
Areas with risk for explosion are often – but not always – clearly marked. This also applies
to below decks on ships; the transport or storage of chemicals; vehicles that use liquid fuel
(such as propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as
grain, dust or metal powder.
Li-Polymer battery
This product contains a Li-Polymer battery. There is a risk of fire and burns if the battery
pack is handled improperly.
72
Page 79
English
WARNING
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. To reduce risk of fire or burns, do
not disassemble, crush, puncture, short external contacts, expose to temperature
above 60° C (140° F), or dispose of in fire or water. Recycle or dispose of used batteries
according to the local regulations or reference guide supplied with your product.
Removing/replacing the battery
• To remove/replace the battery, contact an authorised service centre. Please find lat-
est information at www.doro.com.
• For your safety, you must not attempt to remove the battery. If the battery is not
properly removed, it may lead to damage to the battery and device, cause personal
injury, and/or result in the device being unsafe.
• Doro does not accept liability for any damage or loss if these warnings and instruc-
tions are not followed.
Protect your hearing
This device has been tested to comply with the Sound Pressure Level requirement laid
down in the applicable EN 50332-1 and/or EN 50332-2 standards.
WARNING
Excessive exposure to loud sounds can cause hearing damage. Exposure to
loud sounds while driving may distract your attention and cause an accident.
Listen to a headset at a moderate level, and do not hold the device near
your ear when the loudspeaker is in use.
Emergency calls
IMPORTANT!
Mobile phones use radio signals, the mobile phone network, the terrestrial network
and user-programmed functions. This means that connection cannot be guaranteed in
all circumstances. Therefore, never rely only on a mobile phone for very important calls
such as medical emergencies.
GPS/Location based functions
Some products provide GPS/Location based functions. Location determining functionality
is provided “As is”. No representation or warranty are made as to the accuracy of such location information. Use of location-based information by the device may not be uninterrupted or error free and may additionally be dependent on network service availability.
Please note that functionality may be reduced or prevented in certain environments such
as building interiors or areas adjacent to buildings.
73
Page 80
English
CAUTION
Do not use GPS functionality in a manner which causes distraction from driving.
Vehicles
Radio signals can affect electronic systems in motor vehicles (for example, electronic fuel
injection, ABS brakes, automatic cruise control, air bag systems) that have been incorrectly
installed or are inadequately protected. Contact the manufacturer or its representative for
more information about your vehicle or any additional equipment.
Do not keep or transport flammable liquids, gases or explosives together with the unit or
its accessories. For vehicles equipped with air bags: Remember that air bags fill with air
with considerable force.
Do not place objects, including fixed or portable radio equipment in the area above the
airbag or the area where it might expand. Serious injuries may be caused if the mobile
phone equipment is incorrectly installed and the airbag fills with air.
It is prohibited to use the unit in flight. Turn off the unit before you board a plane. Using
wireless telecom units inside a plane can pose risks to air safety and interfere with telecommunications. It may also be illegal.

Hearing aid compatibility
Note! For hearing aid compatibility, turn off Bluetooth connectivity.
This phone is hearing aid compatible. Hearing aid compatibility is not a guarantee that a
specific hearing aid will work with a specific phone. Mobile phones contain radio transmitters that may interfere with hearing aid performance. This phone has been tested for use
with hearing aids, for some of the wireless technologies that it uses, but there may be
some newer wireless technologies that have not been tested yet for use with hearing aids.
To ensure that a specific hearing aid works well with this phone, test them together before making a purchase.
The standard for hearing aid compatibility contains two types of ratings:
• M: To use your hearing aid in this mode, make sure that your hearing aid is set to
"M-mode" or acoustic coupling mode, and position the phones receiver near the
hearing aid’s built-in microphone. For the best results, try using the phone in different positions relative to your hearing aid—for example, placing the receiver slightly
above the ear may result in better performance for hearing aids with microphones
positioned behind the ear.
• T: To use your hearing aid in this mode, make sure that your hearing aid is set to "T-
mode" or telecoil coupling mode (not all hearing aids have this mode). For the best
results, try using the phone in different positions relative to your hearing aid—for example, placing the receiver slightly below or in front of the ear may result in better
performance.
Your device meets the M3/T3 level rating.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
This device meets applicable international safety requirements for exposure to radio
waves. Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed
the limits for exposure to radio waves (radio frequency electromagnetic fields) recommended by international guidelines from the independent scientific organization ICNIRP (International Commission of Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection).
The radio wave exposure guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg averaged over 10 grams
of tissue and include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The highest SAR values under the ICNIRP guidelines for this device model are:
Head SAR: 0.57 W/kg
Body SAR: 1.19 W/kg

Page 86
English
During normal use, the SAR values for this device are usually well below the values stated
above. This is because, for purposes of system efficiency and to minimize interference on
the network, the output power of your mobile device is automatically decreased when full
power is not needed for the call. The lower the power output of the device, the lower its
SAR value.
This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used against the head or when positioned
at least 0.5 cm away from the body. When a carry case, belt clip or other form of device
holder is used for body-worn operation, it should not contain metal and should provide at
least the above stated separation distance from the body.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has stated that current scientific information does
not indicate the need for any special precautions when using mobile devices. If you are interested in reducing your exposure, they recommend you reduce your usage or use a
hands-free accessory to keep the device away from your head and body.
