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 dan-

gerous 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 serv-

ices. 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 pre-

paid 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.

English

Insert SIM card and memory card

SIM card is not included and memory card is optional and

not included

CAUTION

Turn off the phone and disconnect the charger before removing the SIM/

memory card tray.

Pull out the SIM/memory card tray

Use your fingernail or other similar object,

to gently pull out the SIM/memory card

tray.

IMPORTANT!

Be careful not to damage your

fingernails when you remove the SIM/

memory card tray.

SIM

Insert the card(s)

• Place the nano-SIM card into the

correct tray slot to ensure that it

can be recognized by the phone.

Make sure that the SIM card’s con-

tacts are facing downwards and

that the cut off corner is down, as

shown. Take care not to scratch or

bend the contacts on the SIM card.

• You may also optionally place a

memory card in the tray. Make sure

that the memory card’s contacts

are facing downwards, as shown.

Compatible card type: microSD, mi-

croSDHC, microSDXC.

• Insert the SIM card tray back into

its slot.

micro SIM

nano SIM

English

CAUTION

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 be-

fore first use.

CAUTION

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

A. Insert the small end of the included USB cable into the charging

port on the phone.

B. You can also charge the phone using the cradle. Insert the small end

of the included USB cable into the charging port on the backside of

the cradle and place the phone in the cradle.

C. Insert the other end of the included USB cable into the wall charger that

you plug into to a wall socket.

D. You can also plug the included USB cable into a USB port on your com-

puter. Generally charging is quicker if plugged directly into the wall

socket.

If the phone is turned off during charging, the phone is still charging. Press

the Power button to view charging status.

Save energy

When you have fully charged the battery and disconnected the charger

from the device, unplug the charger from the wall socket.

English

Note! To save power, the screen is locked after a while. Press the Power

button to activate the screen, see Lock screen, p.11

If the battery is completely discharged, the device cannot be turned on

immediately when the charger is connected. Allow a depleted battery to

charge for a few minutes before turning on the device.

Turn on the phone

Note! When turning on your phone, the installed applications may need to

be updated. Application updates requires Internet connection and can take

a few minutes. A Wi-Fi connection is preferable. The phone may appear a

bit slow during the update.

• Once you've fully charged the device, turn it on by pressing and hold-

ing the Power button. Keep it pressed until the phone vibrates and

the display lights up.

• Enter your SIM card PIN if requested, then press OK. Tap to erase.

• Wait for the phone to start.

If the wrong PIN code is entered several times Enter PUK is displayed and

you need to enter your PUK code (Personal Unblocking Key). Contact your

service provider for more information about PIN and PUK code. See

Change the SIM PIN code, p.42 for information about changing the PIN

code.

Screen protection

Before you start to use your new phone, remove the protection film that

covers the device. Please note the helpful directions that is printed on the

protection film.

Screen covers and protectors may help you protect your device against

damage. Only use screen covers and other protections intended for your

device. Third party protection accessories may prevent your device from

working correctly by covering sensors, lenses, speakers, or microphones.

Start-up wizard

The first time you start your device, a Start-up wizard helps you to setup

basic settings, customise your device and sign in to your accounts, for ex-

ample a Google

™

account.

The device language is normally determined by the inserted SIM card, but

you may change the language if you want. All settings presented in the

Start-up wizard can also be changed later if you are unsure what to do.
