Doro 8200 Quick Start Guide
1. UNBOX YOUR NEW PHONE
Begin by unboxing your new Doro 8200 and checking all included items and equipment. Familiarize yourself with the device and its basic functions by reading this guide. For the full manual, visit www.doro.com/support/ or contact the Doro Helpline. Items supplied may vary by region or service provider. Supplied items are designed for this device and may not be compatible with other devices. Appearances and specifications are subject to change without prior notice. Additional accessories can be purchased from Doro retailers; ensure compatibility before purchase.
2. GETTING STARTED
Before using your new phone, you may need:
- Nano SIM card: Essential for calls and mobile data. Obtain a SIM card and necessary codes (PIN, PUK) from your mobile service provider. Choose a suitable plan for your calling and data needs.
- Memory card (optional): A MicroSD card can expand storage for files, pictures, and videos. Insert the card, reboot the device, and follow instructions to format it. A high-speed memory card is recommended.
- Google Account: Required for full smartphone functionality. If you don't have one, you'll be guided through setup. Consider a username and password for services like Gmail, YouTube, Google Maps, Google Drive, and Google Photos.
- Wi-Fi access: Connecting to Wi-Fi can reduce mobile data costs and potentially increase speed.
3. INSERT SIM CARD (NOT INCLUDED) AND MEMORY CARD (OPTIONAL AND NOT INCLUDED)
Use your fingernail or a similar object to gently pull out the SIM/memory card tray.
Place the SIM card into the correct tray slot, ensuring the contacts face downwards and the cut-off corner aligns as shown. Avoid scratching or bending the SIM card contacts. This device accepts only nano SIM cards (4FF). Using a modified or thicker card may damage the card, slot, and stored data.
Optionally, place a memory card in the tray with contacts facing downwards. Compatible card types include MicroSD, MicroSDHC, and MicroSDXC. Insert the SIM card tray back into its slot.
4. CHARGE YOUR PHONE
Your phone may have sufficient charge for initial use, but a full charge before first use is recommended.
CAUTION: Only use approved batteries, chargers, and accessories for this model. Using unapproved accessories may be dangerous and void the phone's type approval and warranty.
Connect the small end of the USB cable to the charging port on the phone and the other end to the wall charger plugged into a wall socket.
Navigation mode
You can choose your preferred navigation mode:
- Doro's interface: The patented, senior-friendly, action-based interface, EVA.
- Android™ interface: For users familiar with smartphones who prefer the standard Android experience.
Note: The navigation mode cannot be changed later in settings. Apps can still be organized via drag and drop from the app drawer.
Consider recycling your previous product. Find more information under "Recycle".
5. TURN ON THE PHONE
Note: Installed applications may require updates upon first use, which needs an internet connection and may take a few minutes. Wi-Fi is preferable. The phone might seem slow during updates.
- Press and hold the power button until the display lights up.
- Wait for the phone to start.
- Enter your SIM card PIN if prompted.
- Follow the on-screen setup guide to connect to the internet and personalize your phone.
- Sign in with an existing Google Account or set up a new one.
6. STARTUP GUIDE
The first time you turn on your phone, a Startup guide will launch. Follow the on-screen instructions to personalize your new phone.
You will be asked, "Is it your first time using a Smartphone?"
- Yes, I am a beginner: Provides instructions on smartphone navigation and touch screen usage.
- No, I have already used one / I'm setting up for someone else: Proceeds directly to settings.
Optimize your phone during the startup guide by adjusting display and audio settings for your vision and hearing. Consider Doro ClearSound for optimized audio, especially for high-frequency hearing loss common after age 50.
7. THE ASSISTANCE BUTTON
The Assistance button (()) on the back of the phone provides quick access to contact predefined Responders (family and friends) in case of need. This function requires the "Response by Doro" app installed on the Responder's smartphone and a pre-established link. Refer to the full manual for setup details.
8. HARDWARE REBOOT
This device has an internal battery, so the hardware cannot be rebooted by removing the battery. If the device freezes or becomes unresponsive, press and hold the Power button and the Volume Up key simultaneously for over 10 seconds to initiate a reboot. The device will restart automatically.
9. HELP AND MORE SUPPORT

HEARING AID COMPATIBILITY
Note: Turn off Bluetooth for hearing aid compatibility.
This phone is hearing aid compatible. Compatibility does not guarantee performance with all hearing aids. Test hearing aids with the phone before purchase. The standard includes M-mode (acoustic coupling) and T-mode (telecoil coupling). This device meets the M4/T3 rating.
- M-mode: Set hearing aid to "M-mode". Position the phone's receiver near the hearing aid's microphone. Experiment with different positions for optimal performance.
- T-mode: Set hearing aid to "T-mode". Position the receiver relative to the hearing aid for best results.
SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE (SAR)
This device meets international safety requirements for radio wave exposure. The Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg averaged over 10 grams of tissue, with a substantial safety margin. Tests are conducted at the highest certified power level. Head SAR: 0.4 W/kg. Body SAR: 1.49 W/kg. Actual SAR values during use are typically lower due to automatic power reduction. The device meets RF exposure guidelines when used against the head or positioned at least 0.5 cm from the body. Use of body-worn accessories should not contain metal and maintain the separation distance. The World Health Organization (WHO) states no special precautions are needed based on current scientific information. Reduce usage or use hands-free accessories to minimize exposure.
