Doro 7080 Quick Start Guide

This guide provides essential information to get you started with your Doro 7080 phone.

1. GET STARTED

When you first get your phone, there are a few actions you need to take before starting to use it.

Tip: Remove the plastic screen protector.

1.1. Unbox your new phone

Unbox the phone and assess the included items. Read through this guide to familiarize yourself with the equipment and basic functions. For the full manual, visit www.doro.com or contact the Doro Helpline. Items supplied may vary by region or service provider. Purchased accessories must be compatible with the device. Only use approved batteries, chargers, and accessories; using others may be dangerous and invalidate the warranty.

1.2. Charge

While the phone may have some charge, it is recommended to give it a full charge before first use.

Caution: Only use approved batteries, chargers, and accessories. Connecting other accessories may be dangerous and invalidate the phone's type approval and warranty.

When the battery is low, a [low battery indicator] appears and a warning signal is heard. Connect the mains adapter to a wall socket and the charging socket, or place the device in a charging cradle. Alternatively, connect the cable to the charging socket on the phone and to a USB port on a computer.

1.3. Save energy

When the battery is fully charged, disconnect the charger. The screen turns off after a while to save power; press any button to wake it up. Batteries degrade over time, reducing call and standby time. The device may feel warm during extended operation, which is normal. It may switch off during charging to prevent overheating.

1.4. Turn the phone on and off

1. Press and hold the [red button] to turn the phone on and off.
2. If the SIM card is protected by a PIN code, 'Enter SIM PIN' will appear. Enter the PIN code and press the [OK] button. Use the [Clear button] (X) to delete mistyped numbers.

Note: If PIN and PUK codes were not provided with your SIM card, contact your service provider. PIN and PUK codes may differ for SIM1 and SIM2 if you use multiple SIM cards.

If the maximum number of PIN attempts is reached, 'PIN blocked' appears. The SIM card must be unlocked with the PUK code. Enter the PUK code, confirm with [OK], enter a new PIN code, confirm with [OK], and re-enter the new PIN code, confirming with [OK].

Network services and costs

Your device is approved for WCDMA 900/2100 MHz and GSM 900/1800/1900 MHz networks. A subscription with a service provider is required. Using network services may incur traffic costs; some features require network support and subscriptions.

Operating environment

Follow applicable rules and laws. Turn off the unit when its use is prohibited or can cause interference or hazards. Only use the unit in its normal user position.

Medical units

Radio signals from mobile phones can interfere with insufficiently protected medical equipment. Consult a doctor or manufacturer for advice. Comply with notices in healthcare facilities instructing you to turn off the unit. Hospitals may use equipment sensitive to radio signals.

Implanted medical devices

To avoid potential interference, maintain a minimum separation of 15 cm between the wireless device and the medical device. Do not carry the wireless device in a breast pocket.
