abled. Some examples include background syncing, vibrate on touch,

17
English
Improve battery performance
•Charge your phone often, preferably every day. Charging does not af-
fect the lifetime of the battery.
•When not downloading data from the Internet, which is power con-
suming, disable data connections over mobile networks. Data can
still be transmitted over Wi-Fi networks.
•Turn off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi when not needed. Use the connectivity
status in the status bar to disable the features.
•Synchronise your applications manually, like your email, calendar
and contacts.
•Use the Battery status menu in your device to see which applica-
tions use the most power.
•Lower the screen brightness level. See Phone settings, p.20.
•When in areas with no network coverage, turn off your device or acti-
vate the Airplane mode. The device repeatedly scans for available
networks which consumes power. See Airplane mode, p.54.
•Use Doro original handsfree devices to listen to music. Handsfree
devices consume less battery than your device's own loudspeakers.
•Lock the screen when not in use by pressing the !Power button.
This will make your display go to sleep. See Screen lock, p.4.
Memory and storage
Your phone has different types of memory and storage possibilities.
Internal storage
•The internal storage is used to store downloaded or transferred con-
tent along with your personal settings and data. Examples are alarm,
volume and language settings, emails, bookmarks, contacts, calen-
dar events, photos, videos and music.
External memory
•You can use an external memory card (microSD, microSDHC max
32 GB) to get more storage space. Most applications can read data
from a memory card but only certain apps can save files to this type
of memory. You can, for example, set the camera application to save
photos directly to the memory card.
18
English
Free up memory space
The memory in your device tends to fill up as a result of normal usage. If
your phone starts to slow down, or applications suddenly shut down, con-
sider the following:
Delete pictures
•If you use your phone to take a lot of pictures, remember to back
them up to your computer every now and again. Not only will this pre-
vent you from losing any photos if anything were to happen to your
phone, but it also gives you the opportunity to delete them from your
phone and free up space. You can access your pictures by simply
plugging your phone into your computer via a USB cable, see Con-
nect the phone to a computer, p.55.
•There are also several services to use if you want to back up your
photos – in many cases, automatically. Google, for example, has an
automatic upload feature that will put your photos into a private al-
bum on Google+, and even create mini-albums for you.
Clear the cache memory
What is cache? When you are surfing the web or using apps on your
phone’s browser, those websites that you visit will be stored on your
phone in an area of memory called cache. The reason is that the next
time you visit the same website or app the phone will load it from cache
memory instead of downloading everything again from the server, which
takes up time and bandwidth.
1. From the Home screen, select Menu Settings.
2. Select (accessible to the upper right).
3. Select Storage.

Location
LBS stands for Location-Based Service and is a software application for
mobile devices that requires knowledge about where the device is lo-
cated. The service can be query-based and it can provide you with useful
information such as “Where is the nearest restaurant?”. The service can
also be push-based and send you coupons or let you view commute traf-
fic. By law, location-based services must be permission-based. That
means that you must opt-in (actively say yes) to the service in order to
use it.
Note! You’ll see the location icon at the top of your screen when your
phone’s location is being used by any app.
1. From the Home screen, select Menu to open the applications list.

cation faster and more accurately.
•Select Battery saving to estimate your location using low bat-
tery-intensive location sources, such as Wi-Fi and cellular net-
works. It uses Google's location service to help estimate your
location faster and more accurately.
•Select Device only to estimate your location using GPS only.
This mode may use more battery power and take longer to de-
termine your location. It doesn’t use Google's location service
to provide location information.
5. When done, select .
You can also see how your battery is affected by the different apps that
use location services. This information is shown under each approved
app that can be used to locate your phone.
•Low battery use this app uses only low battery-intensive sources.
•High battery use this app may use more battery power.
Note! Turning off location for your device also turns it off for Google apps
and other non-Google apps. This means that apps can’t use your phones
location, and many useful features will be turned off.

Hearing aid compatible
This device is hearing aid compatible. Hearing aid compatibility is not a
guarantee that a specific hearing aid will work with a specific device. Cell-
phones contain radio transmitters that may interfere with hearing aid per-
formance. This phone has been tested for use with hearing aids, for
some of the wireless technologies that it uses, but there may be some
newer wireless technologies that have not been tested yet for use with
23
English
hearing aids. To ensure that a specific hearing aid works well with this de-
vice, test them together before making a purchase.
The standard for hearing aid compatibility contains two types of ratings:
•M: To use your hearing aid in this mode, make sure that your hearing
aid is set to "M-mode" or acoustic coupling mode, and position the
telephone's receiver near the hearing aid’s built-in microphone. For
the best results, try using the device in different positions relative to
your hearing aid—for example, placing the receiver slightly above the
ear may result in better performance for hearing aids with micro-
phones positioned behind the ear.
•T: To use your hearing aid in this mode, make sure that your hearing
aid is set to "T-mode" or telecoil coupling mode (not all hearing aids
have this mode). For the best results, try using the telephone in dif-
ferent positions relative to your hearing aid—for example, placing the
receiver slightly below or in front of the ear may result in better
performance.
Silence your phone
•Press the volume keys on the side of your phone to adjust the vol-
ume and select sound mode.
TTY mode
TTY Mode, also known as Text Telephone, TDD or Teletypewriter for the
Deaf, is designed to help people who are deaf, hard-of-hearing or speech
impaired, or who have speech or language disabilities, communicate over

with the manufacturer of the TTY device to ensure that it supports digital
wireless transmission. Your phone and the TTY device will connect using
a special cable that plugs into your phone’s headset jack. If this cable
was not provided with your TTY device, contact your TTY device manufac-
turer to purchase the connector cable.

Operating environment
Follow the rules and laws that apply wherever you are, and always turn off the unit
whenever its use is prohibited or can cause interference or hazards. Only use the unit in
its normal user position.
This unit complies with guidelines for radiation when it is used either in a normal posi-
tion against your ear, or when it is at least 1.0 cm (0.4 in) from your body. If the unit is
carried close to your body in a case, belt holder or other holder, these holders should
not contain any metal, and should be placed at the distance from your body specified
above. Make sure that the distance instructions above are followed until the transfer is
complete.
Parts of the unit are magnetic. The unit can attract metal objects. Do not keep credit
cards or other magnetic media near the unit. There is a risk that information stored on
them can be erased.
Medical units
The use of equipment that transmits radio signals, such as mobile phones, can interfere
with insufficiently protected medical equipment. Consult a doctor or the manufacturer
of the equipment to determine if it has adequate protection against external radio sig-
nals, or if you have any questions. If notices have been put up at health care facilities in-
structing you to turn off the unit while you are there, you should comply. Hospitals and
other health care facilities sometimes use equipment that can be sensitive to external
radio signals.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separa-
tion of 15 cm be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to
avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. Persons with pacemakers:
66
English
•Should always keep the phone more than 15 cm from their pacemaker when the
phone is turned on.
•Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
•Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn the phone off
immediately.
Areas with explosion risk
Always turn off the unit when you are in an area where there is a risk of explosion. Fol-
low all signs and instructions. There is a risk of explosions in places where you are nor-
mally requested to turn off your car engine. In these areas, sparks can cause an
explosion or fire which can lead to personal injury or even death.
Turn off the unit at filling stations, and any other place that has fuel pumps and auto re-
pair facilities.
Follow the restrictions that apply to the use of radio equipment near places where fuel
is stored and sold, chemical factories and places where blasting is in progress.
Areas with risk for explosion are often – but not always – clearly marked. This also ap-
plies to areas such as below decks on ships; the transport or storage of chemicals; ve-
hicles that use liquid fuel (such as propane or butane); areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powder.
Protect your hearing
WARNING
Excessive exposure to loud sounds can cause hearing damage. Exposure
to loud sounds while driving may distract your attention and cause an
accident. Listen to a headset at a moderate level, and do not hold the
device near your ear when the speakerphone is in use.
Emergency calls
IMPORTANT!
Mobile phones use radio signals, the mobile phone network, the terrestrial network
and user-programmed functions. This means that connection cannot be guaranteed
in all circumstances. Therefore, never rely only on a mobile phone for very important
calls such as medical emergencies.
Vehicles
Radio signals can affect electronic systems in motor vehicles (for example, electronic
fuel injection, ABS brakes, automatic cruise control, air bag systems) that have been in-
correctly installed or are inadequately protected. Contact the manufacturer or its repre-
sentative for more information about your vehicle or any additional equipment.
67
English
Do not keep or transport flammable liquids, gases or explosives together with the unit
or its accessories. Most vehicles come equipped with air bags; keep in mind that air
bags fill immediately with considerable force. Do not place objects, including fixed or
portable radio equipment in the area above the airbag or the area where it might ex-
pand. Serious injuries may occur if the airbag deploys near mobile phone equipment
that is incorrectly installed.
It is prohibited to use the unit in flight. Turn off the unit before you board a plane. Using
wireless telecom units inside a plane can pose risks to air safety and interfere with tele-
communications. It may also be illegal.
Driving safely
Adapted from CTIA-The Wireless Association®
WARNING
Use of this unit alone or with headphones (even if used only in one ear) while driving
a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle is dangerous and is illegal in some areas, and the
user should not engage in such conduct. Driving while operating a mobile phone is
distracting and could cause serious injury or death.
If you decide to use this unit while driving or riding a bicycle, keep in mind the following
guidelines:
•Give full attention to driving and to the road.
Using a mobile device while driving may be distracting. If you find it disruptive or
distracting while operating any type of vehicle, riding a bicycle, or performing any
activity that requires your full attention, pull off the road and park before making or
answering a call if driving conditions require.
•Get to know your phone and its features such as the phone book, call memory,
and speakerphone.
These features help you to place your call without taking your attention off the road.
See the applicable portion of this user’s guide for more information.
•Use a hands-free device.
Add an extra layer of convenience and safety to your unit with one of the many
hands-free accessories available.Use of a headset or other hands-free device may
be legally required. Distracted driving is a national issue and as a result, all 10
provinces in Canada have some form of cell phone/distracted driving legislation in
place. For more information please visit http://distracteddriving.caa.ca/.
•Position phone within easy reach.
Keep your eyes on the road. If you get an incoming call at an inconvenient time, let
your voice mail answer it for you.
•Assess the traffic before dialing, or place calls when you are not moving or before
pulling into traffic.
Try to plan calls when your car will be stationary. Never dial, send SMS text mes-
sages, or enter other text while you are driving. Driving while operating a mobile
phone is distracting and could cause serious injury or death.
•Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving.
68
English
If necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions
such as rain, sleet, snow, icy roads, and fog.
•Do not take notes, look up phone numbers, or perform any other activities that re-
quire your attention while driving.
Jotting down a to-do list or flipping through your address book takes attention away
from your primary responsibility, which is driving safely.
•Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting.
Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and suspend conversations
that have the potential to divert your attention from the road.
Hearing aid compatibility
Note! For hearing aid compatibility, turn off Bluetooth connectivity.
Your mobile device model complies with FCC rules (C63.19-2011) governing hearing aid
compatibility. These rules require an M3 microphone or higher value. The M-value,
shown on the device box and below, refers to lower radio frequency (RF) emissions. A
higher M-value generally indicates that a device model has a lower RF emissions level,
which may improve the likelihood that the device will operate with certain hearing aids.
Some hearing aids are more resistant than others to interference. Please consult your
hearing health professional to determine the M-rating of your hearing aid and whether
your hearing aid will work with this device.
This device is set for direct connection to telecoil equipped hearing aids. When both the
telecoil hearing aid (T switch) and the phone telecoil are activated, using the device with
the aided ear will provide a direct connection for audio through your hearing aid. The
quality of sound depends on the type of hearing aid used. You should test the device
with the telecoil setting activated to determine whether your audio performance
improves.
Your device meets the M3/T4 level rating.
TTY compatibility
Your phone is TTY-compatible, allowing you to connect a TTY device to the phone’s head-
set jack. Please check with the manufacturer of your TTY device to ensure that it is com-
patible with digital cell phones. Before you can use your phone with a TTY device, you’ll
need to enable TTY Mode.
RF exposure information (SAR)
This model phone meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves.
This phone is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for expo-
sure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of
the U.S. Government and by the Canadian regulatory authorities.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC and by the
Canadian regulatory authorities is 1.6W/kg. *Tests for SAR are conducted using stand-
ard operating positions accepted by the FCC and Industry Canada with the phone trans-
mitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the
69
English
SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone
while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone is de-
signed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach
the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower
the power output.
The highest SAR value for the model phone as reported to the FCC when tested for use
at the ear is 0.74 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is
0.94 W/kg (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon
available enhancements and FCC requirements).
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at vari-
ous positions, they all meet the government requirement. The FCC has granted an
Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as
in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model
phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID: WS5DORO824U
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure
guidelines for use with an accessory that contains no metal and the positions the hand-
set a minimum of 1.0 cm (0.4 in) from the body. Use of other enhancements may not
ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you do not use a body-worn ac-
cessory and are not holding the phone at the ear, position the handset a minimum of
1.0 cm (0.4 in) from your body when the phone is switched on.
*In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is
1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates
a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account
for any variations in measurements. SAR values may vary depending on national report-
ing requirements and the network band.
IC Radiation Exposure Statement
This EUT is compliance with SAR for general population/uncontrolled exposure limits in
IC RSS-102 and had been tested in accordance with the measurement methods and
procedures specified in IEEE 1528 and IEC 62209. This equipment should be installed
and operated with minimum distance 1.0 cm (0.4 in) between the radiator and your
body. This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operating in conjunction
with any other antenna or transmitter.
