BLUETOOTH SETTINGS

Using a Bluetooth headset is a great way to keep your hands free while talking on your Doro cellphone.

The first step is to "pair" your Bluetooth device with your cellphone. To do this, turn your Bluetooth headset or earpiece on.

Then you'll need to set up your phone.

From the home screen, select Menu using the Left Soft key. Then scroll down to Settings and select OK with the Left Soft key. Scroll to Bluetooth and select OK. Select Function On/Off by selecting OK, then select ON.

Use the Right Soft key to go Back, then selectSearch Device. The phone will begin to search for Bluetooth devices. When you see your Bluetooth device on the screen, select it. You may need to enter a password for pairing. Enter the password and select OK.

Your Bluetooth device should now be connected to your phone—just press the red End Call key to exit and return to the Home Screen.

EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE BUTTON

If you need help, the Emergency Assistance button located on the back of your phone allows you to easily contact a family member or friend. To use this feature, you'll need to start by programming the button.

To program the button, first select Menu using the Left Soft key. Scroll to Settings and select OK. Then scroll to Assistance and select OK.

Next, scroll to Activation and select OK with the Left Soft key. Select On, then select OK.

NOTE:

The On selection will have the number 3 beside it. This means that the Emergency Assistance button must be pressed 3 times in order to activate it. This prevents an accidental activation if the button is pressed by mistake.

The next step is to save a phone number that will be called in the event of an emergency when the button is pressed 3 times.

To save a phone number select Back with the Right Soft key, then scroll down to Number List and select OK.

Next, select Add. You can either select a number from your phone book or add a number manually. For this example, select phone book and then select OK. Locate the name of the contact you want automatically called, and press OK.

Press the red End key to return to the home screen.
