How to set up your Doro 8050
When you first get your phone, there is a few actions that you need to take
before starting to use it.
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 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
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 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.

This device accepts nano-SIM or 4FF SIM card.
Using a modified incompatible SIM card that is thicker than a nano-SIM
card may damage the card itself, the card slot and corrupt any data
stored on the card.
Use only compatible memory cards with this device. Compatible card
type: microSD, microSDHC, microSDXC.
Incompatible cards may damage the card itself, the device and corrupt
any data stored on the card. Some phones may have a pre-installed
memory card.
Take care not to scratch or bend the contacts on the memory or SIM
card when inserting them into the card tray.
See External memory, p.40 for additional info.
Charge your phone
While it's possible that your phone will already come with enough charge
to be powered on right out of the box, we recommend to fully charge it before first use.

• Fingerprint to unlock you use your fingerprint to unlock. The fin-
gerprint unlock method requires a PIN as well. See more at . This

IMPORTANT!
It makes sense to choose a password, 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 password, 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 lock information and Google account login stored in a safe place!,
see Reset the phone, p.39.
Note! The available options may vary depending on the screen lock
method selected.
