Doro 820 Mini Claria User Guide
Doro Claria
User Guide
English – Version 4.2
Two documents are available to help you learn how to use Doro Claria:
1. The main features become very clear thanks to the audio CD, designed for a listening experience in
actual operating condition,
2. This user guide is divided in four parts: first, a list of the 10 must-know preliminary points and 5
advanced points, then the table of contents, followed by chapters 2 to 6 explaining how to use the
Doro Claria interface and make calls, and finally chapters 7 to 16 describing how to use the
different applications .
Despite Doro Claria being relatively simple to use, we strongly advise you to carefully read this guide to
master all of its features (especially the 10 must-know key-points) and to go back to it whenever you have a
question. Make sure to keep your cell phone, its elastomer keypad overlay and your SIM card close at hand
while you go through our guide.
The following guide is intended for the Doro Claria with its completely vocalised interface and its elastomer
keypad overlay.
1 v.4.2
1. 1- List of the 10 must-know and 5 advanced points
To make navigating through this list easier, each point starts with a hyperlink:
Here are the 10 must-know points to use your Doro Claria
1- Master the physical buttons : “Sleep-Wake” button to switch on your phone, turn it off, reboot it, and go
in and out of sleep mode, as well as the “Home” button to go out of sleep mode
To switch your phone on, press the Sleep-Wake button on the right side of your phone for a few seconds:
the complete process will take around 30 seconds. If the phone is on, but the buttons aren’t working, this
means that the screen has gone in sleep mode. To exit sleep mode, press the “Home” button on the lowest
line of the keyboard or the “Sleep-Wake” button. When the Sleep mode is deactivated, a lock screen reads
the time out loud then tells you to “slide to unlock”. To unlock the phone and access your apps, put a finger
on the screen and slide it in any direction.
2- Memorize the order of the function keys on the keyboard, especially the 2 top lines which correspond to
the navigation keys. From left to right, those keys are: Menu, Up Arrow, Correction key, for the first line
and OK, Down Arrow, Back key for the second line. Below the horizontal separation line (in relief) you will
find a classic numeric keypad on the following four lines.
3- Get used to the elastomer keypad overlay. A few minutes of practice may be necessary to get a good
grasp on how it works.
To press a button several consecutive times quickly, get used to taking your finger off 1 or 2 mm from the
screen (approximately the height of the keypad overlay) before touching the screen again. Avoid the two
extremes consisting in either keeping your finger on the screen and only releasing the pressure a little, or
taking your finger too far away from the screen.
You should also learn how to change the interval after which a letter is repeated on the ABC keyboard for a
smoother use. To change the repeat-delay time of the ABC keyboard, see “9- Settings” then “4- Keyboard”
and “2- Repeat-delay interval".
4- Get used to opening the application-specific menus by pressing the Menu key. For example from the
contact list or the SMS and email inboxes, use this key to display the Edit, Delete… options.
5- To pick up the phone, press OK. To have the phone read you the name or number of the caller while it is
ringing, tap anywhere on the screen.
6- During a call, move the phone away from your ear to use the keyboard since a proximity sensor
deactivates the screen. Press the OK button to activate the loudspeaker.
7- Master the vocalisation’s different levels of enunciation for characters, words, sentences, or paragraphs
in the display and text input screens, using a zoom-in / zoom-out gesture or the gestures described in 4.5.
8- Having to load your phone’s battery every night is normal, because the internet connection on
Smartphones is very energy-consuming.
9- Remember to check for Claria updates on a regular basis by going to “8-Updates” (Paragraph 14)
10- Explore the Claria settings interface to personalize your phone using “9-Settings”.
2 v.4.2
And here are the 5 more advanced key-points, to help make sure you use Claria’s full potential.
A- With the numbers keys, navigate quickly through the menus you use most often. For example, open the
contacts list by pressing 1 then 2 from the Home screen or dial a number after having pressed 1 twice.
B- Use the Home screen to its full potential with the keyboard shortcuts (by holding the keys longer) or
voice shortcuts (accessed by pressing the Home key) to make calling or sending a text to your contacts
easier. Get the time by pressing the * (Star) key, your notifications by pressing the # (Hash) key and your
connections by pressing the Correction key. (Paragraph 5)
C- Learn how to switch between the standard Android-TalkBack interface and Claria by pressing twice
quickly on the Home button if you have activated this possibility in the Settings (“9-Settings”, “2- Android
interactions” and “1- Double click on Home”).
D- Synchronize your Google account from the standard Android interface for a better experience with your
contacts and Calendar. For this step sighted assistance may be required (Paragraph 13.4.).
E- To upload files like mp3, text or image files, Daisy or ePub books to your phone like you would do on a
USB stick or an external drive, connect Claria to your computer.
3 v.4.2
2. 2- Your phone’s keys and connections
2.1. The physical buttons of your phone: On, Off, Sleep, Go back to the Home screen
2.1.1. Position your phone and locate the Home button.
If your elastomer keypad overlay is already on the phone: the Home button will be easy to find as it is the
closest to the bottom edge in the centre.
The Home button is essential as it allows you to go back to the Home screen at any moment.
Get this habit from the start: if you want to quit an application, launch a new one or if you are lost press the
Home button to start back from a familiar point!
A double click on the Home button can also allow you to switch from the Android standard interface with
Talk Back to the Claria interface if this option is activated (See chapter “earn how to use the standard
Android environment”)
To get access to the recent or running applications, press the Home button for a few seconds. These
running applications can be closed to save the battery by pressing the Correction key above the Back key.
2.1.2. Use the “Sleep-Wake” button to turn your phone on and off, and go in and out of Sleep mode
The Sleep-Wake button is located on one side of your phone. It switches the phone on and off and in and
out of sleep mode.
Press the Sleep-Wake button for a few seconds to switch on your phone. The phone will take approximately
30 seconds to switch on completely.
To completely switch off your phone, press the Sleep-Wake button for approximately 1 second and choose
from the General options menu between the lines “1- Power off” or “4- Restart”.
Note that from this General Options menu you can also:
Activate or deactivate airplane mode (which cuts all the phone’s connections)
Activate or deactivate vibration mode (to mute or turn back on your phone’s ringtone)
Leave the Claria interface to the Google Android Standard interface for the most experienced users
(to go back to Claria, double-click quickly on the Home button).
Activate or deactivate WiFi
Activate or deactivate GPS
Activate or deactivate Bluetooth
To go in or out of Sleep mode, press the Sleep-Wake button. If you are getting out of sleep mode, the
phone will read the first line of the screen and if you are activating it, the phone will make a sound. You can
also get out of Sleep mode by pressing the Home button.
2.1.3. Change the volume with the volume button
Press the top of this button for the volume to go up and press the bottom to make it go down.
4 v.4.2
2.2. The keypad and its elastomer overlay: 6 navigation keys and 12 numbers keys
2.2.1. The 6 navigation keys are on the 2 first lines at the top of the keyboard.
The 6 navigation keys of the 2 top lines of the keyboard are enough to navigate throughout Claria. They are
separated from the other keys by a thin horizontal line that you can feel by running your fingers from the
bottom to the top of the keypad overlay.
The 2 central column keys are the Previous and Next keys or Up and Down arrows. Through those keys you
can navigate through the Claria interface menus. In the menus pressing the Up key reads the previous item
whereas pressing the Down key reads the next one. For an entry or text display screen, those keys allow
you to select a character, word or sentence within the text.
The OK and Back keys, essential for going from one screen to the other, are respectively right and left of
the Down arrow key, on the second line from the top.
The 2 remaining keys both have 2 different actions depending on the kind of screen you are on.
The Menu key is above the OK key on the left. It launches the voice recognition system from the entry
screens and the Home screen. For the other screens it opens the application-specific options screens.
The Correction key is above the Back key on the right. It deletes the characters from edit text screens and
gives the information on network strength, battery level, GPS, and Bluetooth from the other screens.
2.2.2. The 12 numbers keys are the 4 bottom lines of the keyboard
Under the 6 navigation keys is the standard numerical keyboard. The first row contains keys 1, 2, 3. The
second row contains keys 4, 5, 6, the third row contains 7, 8, 9 and the fourth row contains star, 0 and
hash. A dot can be found under the 5 key to spot it more easily.
In a text input screen, the keypad works similarly as on traditional buttons mobile phones. For example
press quickly two times on 2 to type the letter b or three times to type the letter c. Note that by holding
down the 2 key for a longer time, you will enter the number 2.
While on a text input screen, press the # (Hash) key (under the 9 key) to select the keypad typing mode
(mixed case, lower case, numbers).
Besides, in menus screens, you can directly type the numerical position of items to launch them. For
example, to open your contact list, press the Home button if you are not already on the Home screen, then
press 1 and 2. Pressing 1 first opens the “Phone” menu which centralizes the calling, contacts, call history
and shortcuts management functions; then, pressing 2 launches the Contact list application.
2.3. Practicing navigating through your Claria is essential at this point
All the menus are displayed as vertical lists on the screen and are numbered so that you can know how
many lines form the active menu. Claria reads the first line of the screen, and that is also the line that you
will select if you press the OK button.
When you find yourself on a screen you are not familiar with, the best reflex to have is to push on the
Down Arrow key to go down to the last item and select by pressing OK. You can then go back up to the item
that is of interest to you with the Up Arrow key and select it with OK.
If you use a function on a regular basis, you should learn the numerical shortcut to be able to access it more
quickly. For example to check out the Calls history, it is easier from the Home menu to press on 1 then 3
rather than to press OK to open the Phone screen, press 2 times on the Down arrow key and then OK again.
5 v.4.2
2.4. Supplied equipment and connections
2.4.1. Equipment supplied with your phone
The box you have received contains different items:
The phone itself with its elastomer keypad overlay
The battery.
A mains supply adapter to charge your phone. Be careful with the micro-USB connector, it is
asymmetrical to help you connect it the right way and should not be forced into place
A micro-USB cable to connect the phone to your computer. It is also asymmetrical.
An in-ear headphone.
2.4.2. Connect your phone to the mains, a computer or a headset
Your phone also has a micro-USB port to charge it and to plug it to a computer and a jack connector to plug
your earphones. To get the full description of these diverse locations, see the “Help” section on the
website.
2.4.3. Enter the PIN number
The default settings of the PIN entry screen, show stars (*) for each number typed, to respect
confidentiality. To have Claria read out loud what you entered, press the hash (#) key, under the 9. Press OK
to confirm.
3. 3- Entering text : using the keyboard or the voice recognition :
3.1. Keyboard entries similar to the one on phones with physical keyboards
Claria’s keypad is very similar to the keypad of a traditional mobile phone with buttons. Note that Claria
uses an ABC keyboard and not predictive text. So to write “hello” you have to press 4 quickly twice for H, 3
twice for E, 5 three times quickly for L. Wait until you feel the vibration telling you the time interval
between two letters is over then press 5 again three times quickly for L and so on…
You can change the repeat delay needed to type two letters on the same key to make it more comfortable
for you. See “9-Settings” then “4- Keyboard” and “1- Repeat delay”. If you increase this Repeat delay
between two letters, it will increase the time between your pressing a key to type a letter and the vibration
confirming this letter, which means your phone is ready for the next letter. Reducing this delay will
consequently mean accelerating your typing speed.
To erase a character, press the Correction button.
To change the typing mode (from numbers to capital letters or small letters), press the hash key, under the
9. This key enables you to switch between lower case, mixed case and numbers mode.
You should also note that:
6 v.4.2
Except for passwords and numerical fields, the first character of the entry field or the first character
after a period is a capital letter by default; the following characters are automatically typed as small
letters.
When your keyboard is in capital or small letters typing mode, you can type a number by holding
down the corresponding key.
This way, most of the time, you can type your texts while staying on the small letters typing mode. Indeed,
the first letter of each sentence will automatically be in upper case and you can type numbers when you
need them without changing the typing mode.
3.1.1. “Special characters” distribution
The special characters’ distribution is the following:
On the “1” key: period, apostrophe, comma, question mark, exclamation mark, quotation mark.
On the “star” key: @ “at”, minus or dash, plus +, star*, forward slash/, equal sign, percent, hash, & “and”,
euro, dollar, pound, yen, paragraph
On the “0” key: space, new line (when available), colon, semi-colon, underscore, open parenthesis, closed
parenthesis, > symbol, < symbol, opened bracket, closed bracket, opened brace, closed brace, tilde (~),
vertical bar (|).
3.2. Voice recognition entry: best practices for best results
If you have a 3G/4 G or Wi-Fi internet connection, launch the voice recognition from any text input field by
pressing the Menu key (above OK).
Important: when you use the voice recognition, you must be particularly careful:
Not to start talking before the beep noise and vibration
To place the microphone near your mouth (a few inches away), as if you were calling someone for
example
To remain completely silent before you start talking and enunciate the words very clearly from the
beginning: for example you must avoid starting your sentence with “Um”.
To dictate in one go without pausing for too long as the voice recognition will stop as soon as there
is a blank.
When you have finished dictating, stay quiet for a moment until your phone vibrates to let you
know your text has been taken into account.
Claria doesn’t insert the voice recognition results immediately but redirects you to a validation screen (or
cancellation) for the text you entered, allowing you to choose between several potential propositions.
Press the Back key to return to the text input field without inserting the vocal recognition results, or press
“OK” to insert the chosen proposition in your text. The text will then be inserted at the cursor’s current
emplacement and the enunciation level will be on “word”. You can then easily re-read the inserted text
word by word using the arrow keys.
7 v.4.2
Note that this way you can dictate a text in several takes by repeating the voice recognition several times in
a row.
3.3. Change the enunciation level to read a text while writing
In the next chapter the paragraph “change the enunciation level” in the chapter “Control the voice
synthesis” explains how to reread the text you entered by character, by word or by sentence. Whatever
your enunciation level is, you can use the “Down” and “Up” arrows to move forwards and backwards in
your text.
4. 4- Control the voice synthesis
4.1. Where to perform the voice synthesis control shortcut gestures
Claria offers immediate access to some of the voice synthesis advanced functionalities, through a few
simple gestures on the screen. Those actions have to be performed on the display part of the screen above
the navigation keys.
Note that the upper part of the screen (immediately next to the top part of the elastomer keypad overlay)
is not tactile. Make sure to perform your actions close to the first line of the elastomer keypad overlay
rather than at the top of your screen.
4.2. Stop or resume vocalisation
If your screen is active, just tap with your finger anywhere on the screen to stop the ongoing vocalisation at
any moment (or similarly, to resume it or repeat the last item read).
The tap gesture consists in pressing the screen and quickly moving your finger(s) away, without sliding it on
the screen when you touch it. To give you an idea of the speed you should target, you should be as quick as
when using a physical keyboard: the time between you touching the screen with your finger and removing
it should be approximately one third of a second.
4.3. Accelerate or slow down the reading speed of menus or texts
To change the reading speed of a screen, you have several options. You can:
1) Either go to “9- Settings”, then “3- Languages and Vocalisation” and “5- Speech Rate”. With Up and
Down arrows, you can then control the reading speed to a faster or slower level.
2) Or press one finger on the screen and simultaneously press once or several times on key number 5
to slow reading speed down, or key number 6 to make it faster. This option is available from any
screen.
3) Or press 3 fingers (usually forefinger, middle finger, ring finger) on the display area of the screen
and slide them up to make it faster or down to slow it down. Repeat this action several times to
change the speed by several levels. The best way to put your fingers is to align them horizontally
and slightly apart, 1 or 2 centimetres above the first keyboard line.
8 v.4.2
Claria has 2 reading speeds that you can control independently: one for the menus and another one for the
text display screens.
4.4. Change the reading language of a text (text message, email, etc.)
If you receive an SMS, an email or read a book in a foreign language, you can directly change the language
of the voice synthesis within a user-defined set of three reading languages. You can scroll between default
languages – the set of languages can be changed in Settings.
To do so, press a finger on the screen and simultaneously press key 7 for voice 1, key 8 for voice 2, or key 9
for voice 3.
You can perform the same action by pressing three fingers on the screen. Just tap 3 fingers (usually
forefinger, middle finger, ring finger) on the display area of the screen and move them away quite quickly
to change reading language.
In Claria settings, you can set up up to three reading languages. To do so, go from the Home screen to “9Settings”, “3-Languages and vocalisation” and “2- Reading voices”. Please note that voice 1 is the default
reading voice.
4.5. Change the enunciation level for texts or text input screen between letter, word,
sentence and paragraph
You can change the enunciation level in the text display screen such as the text messages, emails, and
newspapers articles or edit text screens. Please note that this function is not available for other screens
such as the text messages list or email inbox.
To change the enunciation level, press one finger on the screen and simultaneously press key number 1 to
read character by character, key number 2 for word by word, key number 3 for sentence by sentence and
key number 4 for paragraph by paragraph.
To do the same thing, you can also do a zoom-in zoom-out gesture. To do so, place two fingers close
enough on the screen (for example the thumb and forefinger or forefinger and middle finger) and move
them apart while keeping the pressure on the screen. To zoom in do the exact opposite: put two fingertips
on the screen a few centimetres apart (around three centimetres) and bring them together quickly, still
touching the screen.
5. 5- Discover the Home screen
Explore the Home Screen and the main menus by using the Up and Down arrows as well as the OK and Back
keys.
5.1. Read the information regarding network, battery, time and date, and
notifications
To read the information regarding the network and battery, press the Correction key in the top right
corner.
9 v.4.2
Claria reads the network information first: Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi signal strength if the Wi-Fi is connected to a
network, then the mobile network type (3G means you have access to internet) and reception strength.
Then Claria gives you the battery charge percentage and tells you if the GPS and Bluetooth are activated.
Finally, Claria reads the name of your mobile network.
To have the phone give you the date and to know if an alarm is on press the star (*) button below the 7. To
get a recap of your notifications concerning missed calls, text messages and unread emails, press the hash
(#) key, under the 9.
5.2. Use the voice recognition system to dial a number, or select a contact to call or
write a text to
If you have an internet connection (either Wi-Fi or 3G) you can use the voice recognition to dial a number
or select contacts from the Home screen.
For this, you will have to press the Menu key.
Get used to the same practices as those described in the paragraph “3.2 -Voice recognition entry”. In
particular, you should speak distinctly after the beep and be careful not to make any sounds or noises like
“Hum…”.
5.2.1. Dialling a simple phone number
To call a number, simply dictate the wanted number. For example, press the Menu key and say “0 207 112
12 12” then press OK to confirm the call. To send a text message, press the Menu key and say “text 0 207
112 12 12” then press OK to confirm and open the text input screen. You can then use the voice recognition
to enter your text message.
5.2.2. Advanced functionalities: voice shortcuts for selecting a contact
To use voice shortcuts efficiently, you may need to “train” your Claria phone to associate intuitive vocal
instructions to the correct contact in your contacts list. In some cases, using the first name of the person
you would like to call will be sufficient for Claria to find the corresponding contact. You may sometimes
need to teach Claria to recognise the name or your contact by following the steps described below.
Let’s say for example you want to call a contact named Steve Jordan (as written in your contact list) who
happens to be your father:
- If there is only one Steve in your contact list, the easiest way to call him is to launch the voice
recognition system and say “Steve” or “call Steve”
- If you have two or more contacts named Steve, Claria will ask you to choose between the different
matching entries.
- If Claria doesn’t make the right match, you can teach it to be more precise. For example, start a
new voice recognition this time saying “call Steve Jordan”. Claria will then ask you if you wish to
create a new voice shortcut. Press OK then select the number you want among your contacts by
using the Up and Down arrow keys.
Note that nothing keeps you from associating words independently from your contacts’ First and Last
names. For example you can say “call dad”, then associate this sentence with your father’s number. If your
10 v.4.2
father has a home number and a cell phone number, you can associate the words “call dad at home” to his
home number, and ”call dad cell phone” to his cell phone.
To get the best results, you might have to record 2 or 3 voice shortcuts for some of your contacts, to cover
the involuntary variations of your pronunciation.
6. 6- Make phone calls with Claria
6.1. Make a phone call: Dial a number, answer, hang up, use the speaker
6.1.1. Dial a number
To dial a number, from the Home screen press 1 twice. It will open the “1- Phone” menu then select the
first line “1-Dial a number”
You can then dial a number using the numerical keyboard. Press OK to start the call.
You can also dictate the number you wish to call with the voice recognition by pressing the Menu key.
6.1.2. Take the phone away from your ear during a call to use the keyboard
During a call, take the phone away from your ear to use the keyboard as a proximity sensor deactivates the
screen during calls.
6.1.3. Hanging up
To hang up, you just have to press the Back key during a call. You can also decide to use the Home button
to hang up in Android accessibility settings.
6.1.4. Answer the phone and have the caller’s name read out loud.
To answer a phone call, simply press OK. To reject a call, just press the Back key. To have the caller’s name
read during the ringtone, tap anywhere on the display area with one finger. The ringtone is then muted and
the caller’s name is read by the voice synthesis system.
If you left the call screen during your conversation, press the Home button then the 1 button twice to go
back to the current call screen.
6.1.5. Use the speaker
When you are calling someone, if you want to turn the speaker on or off, just press OK.
6.1.6. Use the Call Waiting function
When you receive another call while on the phone, you can hear two consecutive beeps. To know who is
calling you, just move the phone away from your ear and press the touchscreen for the name or number of
the caller to be vocalized.
11 v.4.2
To accept this call, you need to press the OK key. To turn it down, just press the Back key. To switch from
one call to the other, you can press the Up arrow and Down arrow keys.
6.2. Browse the call log, missed calls and delete a call
The call log keeps track of the last calls you received, made or missed. To browse this history, from the
Home screen press 1 then 3. This will first open the “1-Phone” menu then the item “3-Call log”.
Note that this will reset the missed calls count at zero, in the first item “1-Phone” of the Home screen. The
number of missed calls is indeed displayed when selecting the first line of the Home screen, “1-Phone” (e.g.
“1-Phone (3)” when you have three missed calls).
Often, the fastest way to call someone you’ve already called recently is to open the call log, select the past
call to this person then press OK to call this person again.
Note that while on the call log screen you can filter the missed calls by pressing 1, the incoming calls by
pressing 2, or the outgoing calls by pressing 3.
To delete a call from the log, press the Correction key.
6.3. Call using the shortcuts with a long hold on a numerical key of the Home screen
To make calls even faster to up to 10 favourite contacts, you can assign their phone number to a numerical
key of the Home screen and start a call by holding the assigned key for a long time (more than one second).
The default settings assign the 1 key to voicemail. If your voicemail number isn’t immediately recognised by
your phone, fill it in by going from the Home screen to “1-Phone” then “4-Shortcuts” and “3-Voicemail”
To change the settings for the other keys: let’s take the example of the 2 key. Hold down the key for a few
seconds on the Home screen. If no contact is assigned to the key, Claria will ask you if you wish to assign a
contact to the “2” key shortcut. Press OK then select the contact and the phone number you wish to assign
to the key using the filtered list. From now on when you will press 2 for a few seconds on the Home screen,
you will directly call this person.
If you want to change a shortcut already assigned to a contact go to “1-Phone”, “4-Shortcuts” and select “1Numeric shortcuts”.
6.4. Call your Voicemail
To call your voicemail, hold 1 for a few seconds from the Home screen as we described above. If you have
decided to assign another number than your voicemail on the 1 key, you can call your voicemail by
selecting “1-Phone” then “5-Voicemail”.
7. 7- Manage your contact list with Claria
7.1. Create or edit a contact entry
To create or edit a contact entry, go to “1-Phone” then “2-Contacts” from the Home screen to get to your
contact list. Press the Menu key to display the contact list application-specific menu.
12 v.4.2
Select “1-Create” to create a new contact entry or “2-Edit” to edit the entry you are on. The contact entry
form will then open.
The available fields for a Claria contact entry are the following: First Name, Last Name and Phone number.
They appear as a form with a vertical list of items you can fill in. In the application-specific menu (opened
by pressing the Menu key on the top left corner of the keypad), you can add the following optional fields:
Email, Address, Birthday, Notes, and Ringtone.
Press OK to open the field you wish to edit, type in what you want and press OK again to confirm. For
example if you want to enter “Steve” as a contact’s first name, go to the First Name field, press OK and type
the name Steve with the ABC keyboard and confirm with OK.
Once all the fields you wanted to create or edit have been edited and confirmed, go to the “Submit”
button, at the bottom on the last line of the contact form and press OK to save the new contact or the
changes you made to an existing one.
7.2. Select a contact to call or to send a text message/email to
Start the Contacts application from the Home screen by pressing 1 then 2. Select the contact you want to
send a message to by browsing through the list or use the contact filter by typing the first letter of their first
or last name.
Note that the filtered list gives you all the contacts whose first or last names start by the typed letters. If
you type the letters S, T and E for example you will get all you contacts named STEVE but also your contacts
with a last name starting by S,T and E.
Press OK to go to the contact card you selected. Select the phone number then “1-Call” or “2-Text
message” or select an email address to send an email.
7.3. Delete a contact entry
To delete a contact entry from the contact list, press the Menu key then select the third line “3-Delete” and
confirm with OK.
7.4. Import contacts from your SIM card
If you are using a Gmail account, to save your contacts, synchronize them on your phone as explained in
chapter 14 and you will get all your contacts automatically on your phone!
If not, with Claria you can still import all the contacts you have on your SIM card. To do so, after inserting
your SIM card, open your Contacts list and press the Menu key to display the contact list application-
specific menu. Select “Import from SIM card” then confirm to import all the contacts from your SIM card to
your contact list. This may take thirty seconds.
7.5. Import contacts from a Nokia file (.NBU)
If your contacts aren’t on your SIM card but directly on your phone, there are two ways to copy them on
Claria:
13 v.4.2
- If you don’t have many contacts, copy them from the internal memory of your previous phone to
your SIM card then insert your SIM card in your Claria phone and use the import function described
