Can I keep the phone in the charging cradle without the battery being damaged or overheated?

It's safe to leave the phone on the charging cradle permanently because at the moment the phone reaches 100%, it stops charging, then it only resumes the charge when it reaches a certain level that may vary depending on the model.

Why does Doro not include headphones and a manual in the package?

Doro wants to minimize the impact that our products have on the environment, so it does not come with headphones and a manual in the packaging.

We want to help our users make sustainable choices in their daily lives to promote better recycling habits.

Doro believes that the problem of e-waste and unnecessary duplication of these items can be highlighted by removing headphones and manuals from the device's packaging.

Existing Doro users are encouraged to continue using their current headphones and the manual is available to read or download on our online support page.

If you want to order a hard copy of your product manual, contact our support and they will arrange so that you get one home for free.

2G and 3G Network phase out. Why is my phone not connecting to my network provider?

The mobile network's second generation (2G) is 25 years old.

Several countries in Europe have already shut down their 2G networks to promote the rollout of 4G and 5G.

Some mobile operators have preferred to keep their 2G network and instead switch off their 3G antennas and others do the opposite.

Please note that a mobile operator's decision to phase out either their 2G or 3G network affects you as a customer and is independent of the will of the phone manufacturers.

Doro offers products throughout Europe and will continue to offer affordable 2G and 3G phones as long as there is demand.

You who are affected by mobile operators' decisions have two options:

- Either stick with your current mobile operator but change your phone to a 4G phone or

- Keep the phone and change mobile operator to another one that still supports the network that your phone uses.

Contact us to find out more about our 4G phones and which one we can recommend for you and your needs.

For more information regarding the 2G and 3G please read this FAQ: What does the phasing out of 2G and 3G networks mean for me and my Doro phone?

External display will not light up when volume buttons are pressed. How do I activate it again?

Pressing the volume keys to activate the external display does not work after charging the phone.

Restart the phone and it will work again.

This also happens if you turn on your phone after it has been switched off and then fold up the phone while it is still starting up (which is natural because it takes some time to turn on)

This also requires a restart to get this in order.

To do so please press the red button for a couple of seconf´d until the diplays changes and asks if you want to turn it off. Press Ok button to do so.

Wait for at least 10 seconds and then turn it on again by pressing the green answering button until the display starts to shine and you see the green Doro logo.

Now it should work again.

If not please reach out to our support.

What would be the risks of using a Doro mobile phone with a pacemaker?

The risks are the same as with any other mobile phone.

Using a mobile phone with a pacemaker does come with some risks, although they are generally very low.

Here are the main concerns:

1. **Electromagnetic Interference**: Mobile phones emit electromagnetic fields that can potentially interfere with the pacemaker's function. This interference might cause the pacemaker to misinterpret signals, which could lead to it temporarily stopping or malfunctioning.

2. **Magnets in Phones**: Some modern smartphones, especially those with magnetic accessories, can interfere with pacemakers. The magnets can disrupt the pacemaker's ability to detect the heart's electrical activity accurately.

3. **Symptoms of Interference**: If interference occurs, it might cause symptoms like dizziness, palpitations, or even fainting.

To minimize these risks, it's recommended to:

- Keep your phone at least 15 cm (6 inches) away from your pacemaker.

- Use the ear opposite to the side where your pacemaker is implanted when making calls.

- Avoid storing your phone in a chest pocket near your pacemaker¹².

If you experience any unusual symptoms, it's important to contact your doctor or pacing clinic for advice.

Do you have any specific concerns or questions about using your phone with a pacemaker? Consult your doctor about it to be sure.

My phone is dead/not working/screen is completely off. How do I get it working again?

Plug in a charger and see if you get a symbol on the screen indicating that it is charging. This can take up to 30 minutes before anything happens so be patient.

If it doesn't work, try another power socket in the house or another charger. You can also try a different cable.

You can also take the battery out and put it back in.

Then press the red button for a little longer until the phone starts up.

IF none of this helps, contact Doro support. Contact details can be found at the bottom of our website.

How long time does my battery last after I have charged it?

The standby battery time sometimes differs from whats mentioned on our website doro.com​ or on other retailers web shops.

It is common practice with mobile phone manufacturers to test all telephones in laboratories and then publish the results. These tests are performed in a controlled environment where the signal is strong and constant, the phone is switched on, and it is not manipulated. The measurements obtained reflect the maximum performance of the product, thus providing a landmark, enabling it to be compared to other models and brands.

When you use a mobile phone, you will of course not always have perfect reception: you will move around, use Bluetooth, make calls and read messages; maybe you will listen to the radio or to take pictures with it. Even if you don't use the phone at all, the laboratory conditions can't hardly be reproduced in your place.

A battery will not obtain its full performance until after 3 or 4 recharges.

There are several different factors that have an influence on how many hours a charge may last:

1. Which network provider you use will affect the battery capacity more than you think it will. For some operators, the battery can last up to 10 times longer.

2. How much you use Bluetooth.

3. How often you make calls.

4. The distance to the closest cell tower.

5. How often you turn the display on.

Do not hesitate to contact our support for any additional information.

What is the differences between 2G, 3G and 4G?

In the status/notification bar at the top of your phone, you can see which network technology is in use.

The icon or designation varies quite a lot between phones so contact our support if you need help for your particular model.

Here are some common examples:

• 2G may be referred to as 2G, G, GSM, GPRS, E, Edge. All variants mean 2G and stop working when 2G is switched off.

• 3G can be referred to as 3G, WCDMA, UMTS, HSPA, HSPA+, H, H+ or 3+. All are variants of 3G and stop working when 3G is switched off.

• 4G can be referred to as 4G, LTE or L. This is not enough to make calls, but your phone also needs to have volte switched on. The status bar at the top may then say VoLTE or Vo))LTE. With 4G, you can also make calls using wifi. In the notification bar it may look like a phone with wifi arcs over it, or it may say VoWiFi, Wi-Fi or similar.

• 5G can be referred to as 5G, 5G+, and more. Confusingly, however, 5G E does not mean 5G but a kind of extra-fast 4G.

To ensure that you can make calls with your mobile phone when 2G and 3G are switched off, it's time to review your equipment so that it can handle calls over 4G or 5G.

Once 3G stops working, it will no longer be possible to make calls using that technology. Similarly, when 2G is switched off, you can only make calls with 4G or 5G.

In order to make calls with 4G, your mobile phone needs to support the technology that allows you to make calls with 4G, and for this to work you may need to support it in your subscription and you may also need to make settings in your subscription details. In addition, you may need to make a number of settings on your phone. If you need help getting the technology up and running, contact your operator or equipment manufacturer. There is a lot of information posted on operators' websites and also many guides online in general on how 4G works for different mobile phone models.

As networks are also shut down abroad, you may not be able to make calls or use data services in other countries. Users must therefore ensure that they have a phone and a 4G-capable subscription with them so that they can connect abroad.

What does the phasing out of 2G and 3G networks mean for me and my Doro phone?

To ensure you can make calls on your mobile phone when 2G and 3G are turned off, you need to know what model you have.

Once 2G and 3G stop working, you won't be able to make calls using those technologies. You can only make calls with 4G or 5G networks.

Since those networks are also shut down abroad, you may not be able to make calls or use data services in other countries. So, you need to make sure you have a phone and a 4G-capable subscription to connect abroad.

To make calls with 4G, your phone and SIM card must support 4G technology. You may need to enable it in your subscription settings. You may also need to make some settings on your phone. If you need help getting the technology up and running, contact your operator or equipment manufacturer. You can find a lot of information on how 4G works for different mobile phone models on operators' websites and online.

If you want more detailed information about the shutdown of the mobile networks known as 2G and 3G, please visit your network provider's website or contact their support team.

What can I do to reduce battery consumption?

Here are some tips on how you may extend the phone’s battery power by reducing battery consumption.

• Recharge your phone before it’s completely discharged: It’s advisable to keep the charge level between 20% and 80%. Regularly charging your phone won’t damage the battery, but it’s best not to let it fully discharge.

• Disable mobile data connections when not in use: Mobile data connections consume a lot of energy, especially when active in the background. If you don’t need an Internet connection via mobile data, turn it off. You can still use Wi-Fi to access the Internet.

• Turn off Wi-Fi when not in use: Wi-Fi consumes energy even when not actively used. To save battery, turn it off via the notification panel when you don’t need it.

• Turn off Bluetooth when not in use: Bluetooth consumes battery power, especially when it’s on but not being used. Remember to turn it off via the notification panel when you don’t need this feature.

• Turn off automatic app synchronization: Automatic synchronization can drain your battery. You can choose to manually sync your apps (such as emails, calendar, and contacts) to reduce battery consumption. Note that this may result in delays in receiving notifications.

• Use the menu in View -> My phone information -> Battery info -> Battery usage to see which applications use the most power.

• Reduce screen brightness: A high brightness level uses more energy. Adjust it to a lower level by referring to the Brightness Level section in the manual.

• Use Airplane mode in areas with no network coverage: When you’re in an area with no network coverage, your device constantly searches for a signal, which consumes a lot of energy. To avoid this, turn on Airplane mode or switch off your device. Refer to the Airplane Mode section in the manual for more details.

• Turn off location services (GPS) when not needed: GPS can drain a lot of battery when used actively by navigation apps or frequent location services. If you don’t need apps to access your location, turn off location services. Refer to the How to Disable GPS Location Services section in the manual to learn how to do this.

• Use wired hands-free devices to listen to music: Wired hands-free devices consume less battery than your device’s built-in speakers. However, wireless devices may use more energy due to Bluetooth connectivity.

• Lock the screen when not in use: Your phone automatically locks the screen after a period of inactivity, but you can also press the Power button to manually lock it and save battery.

By following these tips, you can significantly reduce your phone’s battery consumption and extend its lifespan.

My battery is swollen. What can I do?

If the battery is within the warranty period, you must send the phone to our repair centre. Find the instructions here: Repair centre

If it is a feature phone and the battery is no longer under warranty, you can order a new one on our website: Batteries.

If it is a smartphone and the battery is no longer under warranty it has to be repaired at our repair centre. To process your device which is no longer under warranty will include a cost. The repair centre will send you a quotation which you need to approve before they will repair your device.

If you have any questions please contact our support: Support

What's a swollen battery?

When batteries are failing due to old age or overheating due to external factors like direct sunlight or hot surface, it’s possible for the inner cells of the battery to outgas a flammable electrolyte mixture. This is where the swollen battery effect comes from: the batteries are designed to contain, as a fail safe measure, that out gassing so that it doesn’t cause a fire.

What to do with a swollen battery?

Stop using it. Switch the mobile phone off and do not charge it. If the battery is built-in the phone, do not try to remove it. If you remove the battery, be careful not to squeeze or puncture it and then properly dispose it. If you don't know where in your area the battery can be safely disposed, please contact your local government or recycling centre.

My 2G FREE SIM-card is not connecting to my operator after having it in another phone, probably 4G-phone. What can I do?

If your SIM card is used in a smartphone or a 4G phone to check or save contacts, it gets detected by the 4G network and locked to it. When you put the SIM card back into a 2G phone, it won't connect to the 2G network immediately. You need to leave the 2G phone turned on for a day to update the SIM card. After one day, restart the phone, and it should work normally.

My new 5G SIM card does not work in my Doro. What can I do?

Try putting your new SIM card in a phone that is a 4G or 5G phone and start it up there. Once it has started and you can, for example, make a call using that method, then return it to your Doro phone and it should work. If you are not sure what you have, contact our talented support and they will help you in the best way.

For more information read the following:

5G SIM cards are not backwards compatible with 2G devices. The reason you can activate the 5G SIM in another device that supports higher than 2G is that the activation process usually involves the SIM communicating with the network to establish a connection. During this process, the network recognizes the features of the SIM card and provides it accordingly. Once the SIM is activated it should work in the 2G only device, but only for 2G services. However, the device will not be able to take advantage of higher speed services that require 3G, 4G or 5G connectivity. This is not an error or a miss on the part of the operator. That's how technology works. 5G SIM cards are designed to work with devices that support 4G/LTE and 5G networks. They are not backward compatible with 2G or 3G networks. When you activate a 5G SIM card in a device that supports 4G/LTE or 5G networks, the SIM card configuration is updated to make it compatible with the newer networks. However, if you insert a 5G SIM card into a 2G phone, the phone will not be able to read the SIM card because it does not support 4G/LTE or 5G networks.

Why can´t I program the SOS emergency number 999 or 112 as my number to be called when I press the alarm button?

This is because it is not legal in all countries where Doro is sold.

You can instead store the alarm number as a speed dial in your phone.

For a more detailed description, we refer to the respective model's manual, which you can find here on the support pages.

You can of course call our skilled support team and they will be happy to help you.

How do I take the best care of my Doro device to increase its lifespan?

Your mobile phone is one of the products you use the most and carry with you almost all the time.

All this use can lead to wear and tear and reduce the lifespan of your mobile phone. We would like to give you some tips on how to take care of your mobile phone and extend its life.

1. If you feel that your phone is slow and sluggish, restarting it may be enough to clear the working memory. Do this once a week. Also, update the software when you receive a notification or message that a new version is available.

2. Protect your mobile phone from bumps and scratches by using a case. There is a wide range of cases on the market, and many of them are both stylish and practical. You can find suitable cases for your Doro here: Doro accessories

3. A screen protector protects your mobile phone's screen from scratches and bumps. Think about the type of screen protector that suits you. Glass protectors usually provide the best protection, but they are also more expensive. Whichever type you choose, make sure you attach it correctly to avoid air bubbles or unevenness. You can find suitable screen protectors for your Doro here: Doro accessories

4. mobile phones are sensitive to high temperatures. Keep your mobile phone in a cool and dry place and avoid leaving it in direct sunlight or in a hot car. If you are going to use your mobile phone in very cold conditions, make sure it is protected and stored in a warm pocket or similar.

5. Clean your mobile phone regularly Clean your mobile phone often to prevent dirt and bacteria from accumulating on it. Use a soft cloth or a special cleaning spray for mobile phones and wipe the surface gently.

6. Charge your mobile phone properly to extend its life. Do not leave your mobile phone in the charger for too long. When the battery reaches 100% charge, the charger continues to supply power to the device, which can cause the battery to overheat and wear out faster (this does not apply to mobile phones with smart charging). It is best not to use your phone intensively while it is charging. Also, be careful not to overheat the phone while charging it. Do not charge in direct sunlight or near a heating element. To avoid overheating the battery and extend its life, it is best to remove the charger from the device when the battery is fully charged. It is also important to use an original charger and avoid using cheap and poorly made chargers that can cause damage to the battery and the device. Original chargers for your Doro can be found here: Doro accessories

7. Avoid maxing out your mobile phone's memory. This can make your mobile phone slow or behave strangely. Try clearing apps and information such as old photos, videos, SMS or MMS messages that you no longer use, or that you can store elsewhere. This will free up space on your mobile phone and make it feel faster.

WhatsApp does not work on my Doro 7060. How do I fix it?

WhatsApp has stopped supporting Doro models based on the user interface named KaiOS as of February 2025. Users with WhatsApp already installed can use it until early 2025. New users and those logged out will face login issues on KaiOS. If you need to have WhatsApp then the only solution is to buy a new Doro phone.

At start of WhatsApp, you are asked to download the latest version, after downloading the new version and confirming the conditions and phone number, the notification “Connecting” remains and you cannot proceed further:

The solution is to reset the factory settings (note: settings and memory are reset to factory settings): Menu/settings/system/reset options/erase all data (factory reset)/reset phone/erase everything/input password (default is 1234)/ok. After the phone has been restarted , WhatsApp can then be activated and the confirmation of conditions will work as normal.

Are Doro phones compatible with the ASHA function for hearing aids?

No, current Doro models are not compatible with the ASHA function. Most of our models have the HAC function instead (an extra coil in the speaker), which must be activated in the menu. The models with HAC meet classification level M4/T4. This is on a scale of one to four, with four being the most compatible. A phone is considered compatible with hearing aids under FCC requirements if it is rated M3 or M4 for acoustic coupling and T3 or T4 for inductive coupling.

I have echo problem in the other end observed by different people when using my Doro phone in speaker mode.

This could be due to the fact that GSM, 2G, bands are being closed down in some countries, while in other countries it is the 3G mobile network bands that is being closed down.

If you had a good network coverage before it could face less good coverage due to this fact. This problem often comes and goes. If you can move to a location where you have a good sound quality and the echo goes away, or being reduced to a very low level, then it's a clear indication that the network coverage has something to do with the issue. Sometimes hanging up the call and call back again could improve this issue. The network is assigning you a channel for voice communication and that channel normally changes once you end the call and call back again.

There are for natural reasons some differences between different Doro models. It depends on which communication method being used, acoustic tuning, acoustic component used, etc. They all have echo cancellation algorithm built into them. Doro always aims to have louder and better sound quality which means that we must find a balance between loud sound, but at the same time, a sound without echo, distortion and excessive noise.

We would suggest you do 3 simple tests.

1. Once you experience echo in speaker mode inside the house, I would suggest you go outside and see if echo goes away.

2. The second test would be to hang up the call and call back again to see if the echo is still there.

3. The third test would be to lower volume control in speaker mode to see if a lower volume setting will improve echo.

If echo goes away after moving to a place with stronger network coverage it indicates that it is network related. If echo goes away after lowering the volume level in speaker mode, it will indicate that echo is due to acoustic feedback issues.

How do I clean my charging port or get water out of it?

Here’s how to dry out your phone charging port:

Don't grab the rice. Rice can potentially become lodged in your phone’s charging port or headphone jack, which can be extremely difficult to dislodge as it swells when exposed to liquid. Leave your device in a dry area for at least an hour with the charging port facing down. This will allow airflow into the port and force excess water to drip out on its own. If you suspect your USB cable is also wet, store it in a dry place where air can reach it for an hour as well. Dust, lint, dirt, grime—we're used to cleaning these things off the floor, but they can also find their way into your phone's charging port. It can happen any time you put your device inside a bag or pocket with the port facing down, and that happens a lot. While a little debris won't affect your phone immediately, over time, it can become so dirty that your device stops working.

Why you should clean your phone's charging port?

The opening on the bottom of your phone might look small, but it can get dusty fast. And when you charge it, the connector can force this dust and dirt deeper into the charging port until the phone loses power completely.

The next time you plug in your phone, consider this:

Does the connector fit snugly?

Are you having trouble charging the battery?

If so, your USB cable may no longer be making a solid connection and it's time to clean out the port.

The first thing to do is inspect your device. Use a bright flashlight or lamp to take a closer look at the charging port. You'll want to check it regularly for dust and debris.

In addition to dust, lint, and dirt, your phone's charging port can also malfunction if it gets wet, whether you dropped your phone in water or moisture found its way inside from a spill, rain, or sweat.

How to clean a phone's charging port safely

Once you determine that you have a dust problem inside the charging port, you'll want to be careful when cleaning it to avoid causing permanent damage to your device. Using sharp metal objects like safety pins, paper clips, or knives can scratch your phone's delicate components or even chip and break off inside the port. What you can use to safely clean your charging port

•A cotton swab or toothpick. These items are soft and can fit into small spaces, making them less likely to cause physical damage to the charging port.

•Compressed air or bulb syringe. The air from these items can loosen and extract debris so you don't have to insert anything in the charging port. Spray the compressed air or bulb syringe a few more times to remove the dust particles you have loosened with the toothpick. Then turn your phone back on and see if it charges.

When cleaning your charging port, using these tools can do more damage than good:

•Toothbrush. The bristles on the brush can get stuck inside and make things worse.

•Blowing on the port with your mouth. Your breath contains water particles that can add moisture and damage your device.

How long does my battery last for my 4G feature phone?

The standby battery time sometimes differs from whats mentioned on our website doro.com​.

It is common practice with mobile phone manufacturers to test all telephones in laboratories and then publish the results. These tests are performed in a controlled environment where the signal is strong and constant, the phone is switched on, and it is not manipulated. The measurements obtained reflect the maximum performance of the product, thus providing a landmark, enabling it to be compared to other models and brands.

When you use a mobile phone, you will of course not always have perfect reception: you will move around, use Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, make calls and read messages; maybe you will listen to the radio or to take pictures with it. Even if you don't use the phone at all, the laboratory conditions can't hardly be reproduced in your place.

A battery will not obtain its full performance until after 3 or 4 recharges.

There are several different factors that have an influence on how many hours a charge may last:

1. Which telephone operator you use will affect the battery capacity more than you think it will. Some operators can last up to ten times longer than another one.

2. How much you connect to Wi-Fi. This is just applicable for Doro 730x, 7010, 7030 and 7080.

3. How much you use Bluetooth.

4. How often you make calls.

5. The distance to the closest cell tower.

6. How often you turn the display on.

Do not hesitate to contact uor support for any additional information.

Why don't I get a charger when I buy a brand new Doro LEVA?

As of December 28, 2024, all mobile phones, tablets and digital cameras sold in the EU must be equipped with a USB-C connector. The decision was approved by a large majority of the European Parliament in 2022 and is part of EU efforts to reduce electronic waste.  The new standard aims to reduce the need for consumers to buy new chargers, making life easier for consumers and benefiting the environment.

For businesses, this requirement means that all products placed on the market from December 28, 2024 will have to comply with the new standard.

For Doro, this applies to the following devices:

Mobile phones

Smartphones

Tablets

Doro HearingBuds

Doro Doorbell

All wired charging devices with a power supply of up to 100 watts must have a USB-C connector. In addition, devices with fast charging support will need to have a standardized charging speed.

My smartphone does not charge, what can I do to fix it!

Try the following steps.

1. Switch off the phone and wait 10 seconds, switch on the phone again .

2. If you use a desktop charger, try connecting the USB cable directly to your smartphone, if this works the fault is in the desk stand.

3. If you have a computer, try connecting your USB cable to the computer to see if your phone is charging. If this works, the fault is in the charger located in the wall socket.

4. You can also try another wall socket to make sure there is power in the socket.

5. Try switching to a different cable to see if the fault is due to the cable. Do the same with the power adapter

6. If you have a loose battery in your smartphone, try removing the battery and reinserting it. This applies to Doro 8035, Doro 825 and Doro 8031. Watch this video on how to remove the battery: video link. Doro 8040, 8050, 8080, 8100 and 8200 have a fixed battery that cannot be removed. For those models you can do a hard reboot. There is a FAQ about this on our website or you can read more about it in the manual.

7. If none of the above suggestions help please contact our support either by email or phone. Contact details can be found at the bottom of our website.

If you are using a Doro smartphone with Doro's operating system, which we call EVA, follow these steps and watch this video:

1. Tap the blue eye where it says View.

2. Then scroll down to "My phone information".

3. Click on "Device update".

4. Click on the blue button that says "Check for updates".

5. The phone will now search for the latest available software updates.

6. If there is an update, choose to install it.

7. If there is no update, just click back again.

If you are using a Doro smartphone with Android's standard operating system, follow these steps:

1. Locate the app that looks like a gear and is called "Settings".

2. Once you've clicked on it, go down the menus to "System" and click there.

3. Click on "System Update".

4. At the bottom, click on the blue box that says "Check for updates". The phone will start searching for new software.

5. Either after a while it says "System is updated" and then you can try to search again just in case. If there is no change, you can end it all by pressing the back arrow several times. If there is an update, the phone will start downloading it and after a while ask you to restart the phone. Do it and wait. It may take quite a while.

It's worth noting that if you haven't done this for a while or maybe never, there may be several updates waiting their turn so always double check by going through the steps again. Do this until it says "System is up to date".

How to do a factory reset of my Doro smartphone?

IMPORTANT! Resetting your phone will erase most of the data, including downloaded apps, accounts, system and application data and settings. Ensure you back up all data and files you wish to keep before initiating the reset. A backup creates a duplicate set of all your information. Please read the following instructions carefully before proceeding. You may need to reset your phone if you encounter a persistent problem that cannot be fixed, or if you plan to give the phone to someone else.

Note! All data added to the phone since you first received it will be erased!

Exceptions:

• Data saved on an SD card, if one is installed (refer to 'Insert SIM card and memory card' section in the manual).

• Apps and data from Google™, provided that backup is enabled.

• Data stored in any form of cloud storage.

IMPORTANT! Make sure to remember the last Google account you used to sign in on your phone. Google's Anti-Theft feature requires you to enter the Google Account used most recently on your phone prior to a reset. The phone will not start until your identity has been verified.

This is a video showing a factory reset for these two models: Doro 8100 and Doro 8200

Reset the phone:

When using the Doro interface EVA do like this: From the Home screen, tap Set-> scroll down to Advanced settings->click on System-> tap on Reset options and choose "Erase all data (factory reset)"

When using the Doro Android interface do like this: From the Home screen find tha application called Settings->click on System-> tap on Reset options and choose "Erase all data (factory reset)"

NOTE This is the very last step before ALL information on the device is permanently deleted, including all settings for the Google account or other accounts as well as data and settings for the entire system and all apps.

Make sure you have the pin code for your SIM-card, account settings for your G-mail and maybe your home network settings ready for the start up guide that will come after the factory reset.

Now tap on the blue button, shown as the above picture, "Erase all data".

Once the phone has been reset, it will have the factory settings again and will be just like when it was taken out of the box.

My smartphone is locked. How do I unlock it?

Smartphones have several different locks that provide different layers of protection. Depending on which lock is activated, the solution will vary.

The solution to unlocking your phone depends on the type of lock activated. Here are some common scenarios and their solutions::

1: SIM lock is a lock that locks the phone to a specific operator. If your phone is SIM locked and you have forgotten the code and do not have your PUK code, you must contact your network provider and get a new SIM card.

2: SIM code is a 4-digit PIN code that unlocks your SIM card for use. The code comes with the SIM card and is printed on the plastic card you received from your network operator. The code may have been changed by yourself or someone else who has your PUK code.

3: PUK code (Personal Unblocking Key), used to unlock your SIM card if you e.g. have failed to enter your PIN more than three times. This is an 8-digit code that comes with your SIM card. Normally, the PIN and PUK are printed on the plastic card from which you print your SIM card. If you have lost any of these codes, contact your operator.

4: Android PIN or phone PIN is usually used every day to unlock the phone for security reasons. You can also have your phone unlocked if you want, but we really recommend using a code here as well. This should the phone be lost or in the wrong hands. You choose this code yourself when you activate your phone and your Google account. If you have lost this code, you can follow this link for detailed help.

Why does Doro not include headphones and a manual in the package?

What would be the risks of using a Doro mobile phone with a pacemaker?

The risks are the same as with any other mobile phone.

Using a mobile phone with a pacemaker does come with some risks, although they are generally very low.

Here are the main concerns:

1. **Electromagnetic Interference**: Mobile phones emit electromagnetic fields that can potentially interfere with the pacemaker's function. This interference might cause the pacemaker to misinterpret signals, which could lead to it temporarily stopping or malfunctioning.

2. **Magnets in Phones**: Some modern smartphones, especially those with magnetic accessories, can interfere with pacemakers. The magnets can disrupt the pacemaker's ability to detect the heart's electrical activity accurately.

3. **Symptoms of Interference**: If interference occurs, it might cause symptoms like dizziness, palpitations, or even fainting.

To minimize these risks, it's recommended to:

- Keep your phone at least 15 cm (6 inches) away from your pacemaker.

- Use the ear opposite to the side where your pacemaker is implanted when making calls.

- Avoid storing your phone in a chest pocket near your pacemaker¹².

If you experience any unusual symptoms, it's important to contact your doctor or pacing clinic for advice.

Do you have any specific concerns or questions about using your phone with a pacemaker? Consult your doctor about it to be sure.

What can I do to reduce battery consumption?

Here are some tips on how you may extend the phone’s battery power by reducing battery consumption.

• Recharge your phone before it’s completely discharged: It’s advisable to keep the charge level between 20% and 80%. Regularly charging your phone won’t damage the battery, but it’s best not to let it fully discharge.

• Disable mobile data connections when not in use: Mobile data connections consume a lot of energy, especially when active in the background. If you don’t need an Internet connection via mobile data, turn it off. You can still use Wi-Fi to access the Internet.

• Turn off Wi-Fi when not in use: Wi-Fi consumes energy even when not actively used. To save battery, turn it off via the notification panel when you don’t need it.

• Turn off Bluetooth when not in use: Bluetooth consumes battery power, especially when it’s on but not being used. Remember to turn it off via the notification panel when you don’t need this feature.

• Turn off automatic app synchronization: Automatic synchronization can drain your battery. You can choose to manually sync your apps (such as emails, calendar, and contacts) to reduce battery consumption. Note that this may result in delays in receiving notifications.

• Use the menu in View -> My phone information -> Battery info -> Battery usage to see which applications use the most power.

• Reduce screen brightness: A high brightness level uses more energy. Adjust it to a lower level by referring to the Brightness Level section in the manual.

• Use Airplane mode in areas with no network coverage: When you’re in an area with no network coverage, your device constantly searches for a signal, which consumes a lot of energy. To avoid this, turn on Airplane mode or switch off your device. Refer to the Airplane Mode section in the manual for more details.

• Turn off location services (GPS) when not needed: GPS can drain a lot of battery when used actively by navigation apps or frequent location services. If you don’t need apps to access your location, turn off location services. Refer to the How to Disable GPS Location Services section in the manual to learn how to do this.

• Use wired hands-free devices to listen to music: Wired hands-free devices consume less battery than your device’s built-in speakers. However, wireless devices may use more energy due to Bluetooth connectivity.

• Lock the screen when not in use: Your phone automatically locks the screen after a period of inactivity, but you can also press the Power button to manually lock it and save battery.

By following these tips, you can significantly reduce your phone’s battery consumption and extend its lifespan.

My 2G FREE SIM-card is not connecting to my operator after having it in another phone, probably 4G-phone. What can I do?

If your SIM card is used in a smartphone or a 4G phone to check or save contacts, it gets detected by the 4G network and locked to it. When you put the SIM card back into a 2G phone, it won't connect to the 2G network immediately. You need to leave the 2G phone turned on for a day to update the SIM card. After one day, restart the phone, and it should work normally.

How do I protect my mobile phone from viruses, malicious apps, scammers and other nasties?

Today's mobile phones contain pictures, messages, contacts, calendars and much other private information that is often invaluable.

It is therefore important to protect your mobile phone from viruses, malicious apps, scammers and other nasties. Here are some tips to make your Android phone more secure:


1. Only install apps from the Play Store. On an Android phone, you can install apps from any website that offers them. The only problem is that this is exploited by criminals with apps that look good, but in fact contain malicious code to eavesdrop on you and obtain credit card information, for example. The easiest way to protect yourself is to only install apps from Google's own Play Store. All apps there are controlled by Google.

2. Password-protect your phone. A new mobile phone is unprotected and can only be unlocked by swiping your finger across the screen. If you don't do anything about it, anyone can do the same thing in the future. To avoid this, the phone must be protected with a PIN, a password or some other means. On your phone, drag your finger from the top of the image and press the small gear. Select Security (can also be called Biometrics and passwords, Passwords and security or something similar) and select Screen lock if necessary. If you have a newer phone, you can also select Fingerprint ID, to unlock the phone with your fingerprint, or perhaps Facial Recognition, to unlock it by looking at the camera. There are also other types of screen locks, such as drawing a specific pattern on the screen.

3. Back up your phone. When you connect your Android phone to your Google account, it can be automatically backed up. All settings, passwords, and a list of installed apps are saved with Google, so you can easily install them on a new phone, for example. Here's how to activate the backup: Open settings again and tap System. Select Backup, Backup or similar to activate the feature.

4. Keep your phone up to date. Android, like any other operating system, is updated from time to time with new features and fixes for old security flaws. Therefore, it is important to keep your phone up to date. Here's what to do: Open Settings again and tap System. Select System updates and let your phone check for and download any updates.

5. Find your phone. If you have misplaced your phone, you can find it using Google. Not only can the phone be located, but it can also be locked and restored if someone has stolen it. Open the Open Security (or similar) settings and tap Find my device. Make sure the feature is enabled. On Google's Find My Device webpage, you can now see where your phone is.

How do I take the best care of my Doro device to increase its lifespan?

Your mobile phone is one of the products you use the most and carry with you almost all the time.

All this use can lead to wear and tear and reduce the lifespan of your mobile phone. We would like to give you some tips on how to take care of your mobile phone and extend its life.

1. If you feel that your phone is slow and sluggish, restarting it may be enough to clear the working memory. Do this once a week. Also, update the software when you receive a notification or message that a new version is available.

2. Protect your mobile phone from bumps and scratches by using a case. There is a wide range of cases on the market, and many of them are both stylish and practical. You can find suitable cases for your Doro here: Doro accessories

3. A screen protector protects your mobile phone's screen from scratches and bumps. Think about the type of screen protector that suits you. Glass protectors usually provide the best protection, but they are also more expensive. Whichever type you choose, make sure you attach it correctly to avoid air bubbles or unevenness. You can find suitable screen protectors for your Doro here: Doro accessories

4. mobile phones are sensitive to high temperatures. Keep your mobile phone in a cool and dry place and avoid leaving it in direct sunlight or in a hot car. If you are going to use your mobile phone in very cold conditions, make sure it is protected and stored in a warm pocket or similar.

5. Clean your mobile phone regularly Clean your mobile phone often to prevent dirt and bacteria from accumulating on it. Use a soft cloth or a special cleaning spray for mobile phones and wipe the surface gently.

6. Charge your mobile phone properly to extend its life. Do not leave your mobile phone in the charger for too long. When the battery reaches 100% charge, the charger continues to supply power to the device, which can cause the battery to overheat and wear out faster (this does not apply to mobile phones with smart charging). It is best not to use your phone intensively while it is charging. Also, be careful not to overheat the phone while charging it. Do not charge in direct sunlight or near a heating element. To avoid overheating the battery and extend its life, it is best to remove the charger from the device when the battery is fully charged. It is also important to use an original charger and avoid using cheap and poorly made chargers that can cause damage to the battery and the device. Original chargers for your Doro can be found here: Doro accessories

7. Avoid maxing out your mobile phone's memory. This can make your mobile phone slow or behave strangely. Try clearing apps and information such as old photos, videos, SMS or MMS messages that you no longer use, or that you can store elsewhere. This will free up space on your mobile phone and make it feel faster.

No, current Doro models are not compatible with the ASHA function. Most of our models have the HAC function instead (an extra coil in the speaker), which must be activated in the menu. The models with HAC meet classification level M4/T4. This is on a scale of one to four, with four being the most compatible. A phone is considered compatible with hearing aids under FCC requirements if it is rated M3 or M4 for acoustic coupling and T3 or T4 for inductive coupling.

I have echo problem in the other end observed by different people when using my Doro phone in speaker mode.

This could be due to the fact that GSM, 2G, bands are being closed down in some countries, while in other countries it is the 3G mobile network bands that is being closed down.

If you had a good network coverage before it could face less good coverage due to this fact. This problem often comes and goes. If you can move to a location where you have a good sound quality and the echo goes away, or being reduced to a very low level, then it's a clear indication that the network coverage has something to do with the issue. Sometimes hanging up the call and call back again could improve this issue. The network is assigning you a channel for voice communication and that channel normally changes once you end the call and call back again.

There are for natural reasons some differences between different Doro models. It depends on which communication method being used, acoustic tuning, acoustic component used, etc. They all have echo cancellation algorithm built into them. Doro always aims to have louder and better sound quality which means that we must find a balance between loud sound, but at the same time, a sound without echo, distortion and excessive noise.

We would suggest you do 3 simple tests.

1. Once you experience echo in speaker mode inside the house, I would suggest you go outside and see if echo goes away.

2. The second test would be to hang up the call and call back again to see if the echo is still there.

3. The third test would be to lower volume control in speaker mode to see if a lower volume setting will improve echo.

If echo goes away after moving to a place with stronger network coverage it indicates that it is network related. If echo goes away after lowering the volume level in speaker mode, it will indicate that echo is due to acoustic feedback issues.

How long does my battery last for my smartphone?

The standby battery time sometimes differs from whats mentioned on our website doro.com​. It is common practice with mobile phone manufacturers to test all telephones in laboratories and then publish the results.

These tests are performed in a controlled environment where the signal is strong and constant, the phone is switched on, and it is not manipulated. The measurements obtained reflect the maximum performance of the product, thus providing a landmark, enabling it to be compared to other models and brands.

When you use a mobile phone, you will of course not always have perfect reception: you will move around, use Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, make calls and read messages; maybe you will listen to the radio or to take pictures with it. Even if you don't use the phone at all, the laboratory conditions can't hardly be reproduced in your place.

A battery will not obtain its full performance until after 3 or 4 recharges.

For normal use we recommend to charge your smartphone once a day so you have a full battery when needed.

There are several different factors that have an influence on how many hours a charge may last:

1. Which telephone operator you use will affect the battery capacity more than you think it will. Some operators can last up to ten times longer than another one.

2. How much you connect to Wi-Fi.

3. How much you use Bluetooth.

4. How often you make calls.

5. The distance to the closest cell tower.

6. How often you turn the display on.

7. How many of the applications that is updating their statuses in the background.

8. How much the phone uses the GPS, both in applications that you are using and when updating/sharing your position in the background.

Do not hesitate to contact our support for any additional information.

How to get the most out of your HearingBuds?

Your ears and brain may need time to adjust to the new way of hearing.

Which factors affects the accuracy of heart rate readings?

"Factors like wearing the device too loosely, swinging your arms, or sliding of the device over your skin can impact heart rate readings.

In addition, wearing the device too tightly, raising your arms, or clenching your fists can affect blood circulation, which also affects sensor performance.

When testing your heart rate, it is recommended that you keep your arm straight, remain static, and relax your muscles.

Ensure that the device remains in close contact with your skin.

Note: Even when you wear the device correctly, individual differences such as skin colour, body hair, tattoos, and scars can also affect heart rate sensor performance slightly."

Was this information helpful?

Which factors affects the accuracy of step counting?

The accelerometer and algorithms that the device uses to count your walking steps are highly sensitive, even small differences may affect the accelerometer and algorithms. You must provide accurate personal data during the device’s initial configuration. For example, if you enter wrong gender, height, weight, or age, it would result in inaccurate exercise data, such as incorrect counting of steps, distance, or calorie . In addition, factors such as your arm swing, stride, posture, road surface, and slope can also affect the step count.

With which Doro models does the alarm button on my Doro watch work?

Currently, the alarm button works together with Doro 8100, Doro 8200 and the Response by Doro app.

For other smart mobiles, the button instead functions as "Find my mobile", so when you press the button, your mobile starts ringing so you can easily find it.

The watch and your mobile must be within range to be able to communicate via Bluetooth.

The following specifications are required for the watch to be able to communicate with your mobile:

Android version 6.0 and later

iOS version 9.0 and later

Bluetooth 4.0 and later

Response by Doro: Doro Smartphone (Android 10.0 and later).

Can the watch cause any physical problems such as arm pain or tingling in the arm?

Possible reasons:

Wearing any kind of watch or wearable device too tightly increases the chances that the wearer will experience nerve damage that leads to pain in the wrist, hand, and arm.

The watch is worn in the wrong place.

Prolonged contact with your skin can lead to skin irritations or, in some cases, allergic reactions.

Possible solutions:

A good rule of thumb is that you should be able to slip one finger between your arm and the watchband, and your watch should not slide more than an inch up or down your arm.

The watch should sit on your arm, just above the wrist bones — not directly on the bones themselves. A good way to judge the placement is to fit two fingers between your watch and your wrist bones.

Wear the watch in a different place on your arm.

Wear the device on the other arm to test if it makes any difference.

How can I stop getting notifications during the nights on my Doro Watch?

The Doro Watch cannot differentiate between regular notifications and backup notifications from your phone system or apps. For instance, WhatsApp continuously sends messages during the backup process, causing the Doro Watch to receive and vibrate for each message.

Workaround solutions:

Enable "Do Not Disturb" Mode: Set up a start and end time without any notifications. This will disable all notifications and works for both iOS and Android.

Turn Off Backup Message Notifications Individually: In the WhatsApp settings menu, disable backup message notifications. Note that this will also disable notifications for Android phones, and is not applicable for iOS.

Please follow this video on how to do it: Enable "Do Not Disturb mode"

When I click on pulse in my Companion app the resting heart rate doesn't show any picture/graph.

Click on pulse and then the gear in the top right corner. Make sure that under "Measurement frequency" that there is a red tick to the right of "Real time monitoring". It didn't change right away so you have to wait an hour or two before it has calculated my resting heart rate. 

Be aware that this setting takes more energy from the battery so the battery life is reduced and you need to charge your watch significantly more often.

Why does Doro not include headphones and a manual in the package?

Doro wants to minimize the impact that our products have on the environment, so it does not come with headphones and a manual in the packaging.

We want to help our users make sustainable choices in their daily lives to promote better recycling habits.

Doro believes that the problem of e-waste and unnecessary duplication of these items can be highlighted by removing headphones and manuals from the device's packaging.

Existing Doro users are encouraged to continue using their current headphones and the manual is available to read or download on our online support page.

What would be the risks of using a Doro mobile phone with a pacemaker?

The risks are the same as with any other mobile phone.

Using a mobile phone with a pacemaker does come with some risks, although they are generally very low.

Here are the main concerns:

1. **Electromagnetic Interference**: Mobile phones emit electromagnetic fields that can potentially interfere with the pacemaker's function. This interference might cause the pacemaker to misinterpret signals, which could lead to it temporarily stopping or malfunctioning.

2. **Magnets in Phones**: Some modern smartphones, especially those with magnetic accessories, can interfere with pacemakers. The magnets can disrupt the pacemaker's ability to detect the heart's electrical activity accurately.

3. **Symptoms of Interference**: If interference occurs, it might cause symptoms like dizziness, palpitations, or even fainting.

To minimize these risks, it's recommended to:

- Keep your phone at least 15 cm (6 inches) away from your pacemaker.

- Use the ear opposite to the side where your pacemaker is implanted when making calls.

- Avoid storing your phone in a chest pocket near your pacemaker¹².

If you experience any unusual symptoms, it's important to contact your doctor or pacing clinic for advice.

Do you have any specific concerns or questions about using your phone with a pacemaker? Consult your doctor about it to be sure.

In our work to improve working conditions and to promote and protect human rights and the environment throughout the value chain, the greatest opportunity lies in contributing to the goals in the following areas.

 

Goal 8. Decent working conditions and economic growth

 E_WEB_08 - Copie.png We strive to be a stable and responsible employer that offers good working conditions and development opportunities. We actively work on health and safety issues. Through technical improvements and innovation, the company’s focus is towards seniors and their safety, to support our care employees and to reduce increasing costs on society.

My Swedish mobile prepaid SIM-card no longer works. What has happened?

As of February 1, 2023, it is no longer possible to use anonymous cash cards. This is after a change in the law that will make it more difficult for criminals to communicate.

Since August 1, 2022, unregistered cash cards are prohibited. Nowadays, all prepaid cash cards must be registered with name, address and social security number, and an identity check must also be carried out.

Subscriber details to be registered

Basic subscriber information must be registered before a subscriber can access their service.

That means:

* Subscriber's name and postal address.

* The subscriber's social security number, coordination number, organization number or other identification number.

* Number or other designation for the service. An identity check must also be carried out. This can be done via an ID document or electronic identification. If a subscriber lacks such documents or tools, the subscriber's identity must be made probable in other ways. The same rules apply to representatives of companies and organizations. The identity check must be documented. The time of registration must also be stated. The subscriber information must be available with the provider from the date of registration up to and including one year after the provision of the service ceases.

How to register your cash card

Anyone who has a bank ID can register their cash card with name, postal address and social security number on the telecom operator's website. If you are a Telenor customer, it is also possible to do it with a photo ID via a special verification service. If you do not have a bank ID, you can contact the telecom operator's customer service to find out how to do it. It is also possible to register with ID in the operator's stores or at a retailer. Anyone with a protected identity can still have a secret number, even if you register the cash card. Contact the operator's customer service to find out how to do it. If you do not have a Swedish social security number, you can also get help in the operator's stores or at retailers.

What do I have to have for take part of the new emergency alert system that is launched in Norway?

A new system for emergency alerts has been launched in the UK. Emergency alerts are a service from the UK government. This means that if a serious situation with an acute danger to life and health occurs where you are, you can receive an emergency alert on your mobile phone. You can read more information about the system at GOV.UK1. https://www.gov.uk/alerts

To receive emergency notifications, the phone must be connected to the mobile phone network (4G/5G). The phone must also be updated with the necessary software.

The Doro phones compatible with UK-Alert are Doro 8100, Doro 8200 and all 4G feature phones. In case you would like to confirm whether your Doro mobile phone can receive these notifications, please contact our customer support by calling the 08000265479 or writing an email to support.uk@doro.com .
