in this video i'm going to show you some
simple steps to get started on using
your doro phone easy 612 phone the first
thing you need to do once you've charged
your daro phone we're going to call it
the doro phone it's just easy to say you
open the clam shell it's called a clam
shell because it just folds quickly and
in theory it's not too stiff so you
should be able to do it with one hand
if you look at the buttons they do give
you a clue we'll start at the top and
we'll just look down the first thing is
to turn it on
the same button
symbol
as you would have on a tv screen or
anywhere else is just in front of us so
which button would you go for to turn
the phone on
the red one
it is this red one and it's actually
symbolized by the
circle with a line going through it
remember there's the on off button yep
so you press that one
hold it for a few seconds
this is the first time we've turned it
on run startup wizard on the screen it
always gives you prompts yes yes so
there's no touchscreen here but what we
have is the button just beneath it here
so we press that button
set language definitely yes
automatic no i want to use the up and
down button to go up and down this menu
matic and we're going to go down
one arrow to english but practice using
the arrow button
to go up and down this bar it's called a
scroll bar
it's at the top
and as you scroll down using the arrow
keys
you'll see that scroll bar
moving down the page showing that at the
moment we've only just got to the second
half
and there's a lot more to go through
so
and you see now the scroll bars jump
straight back to the top we can press ok
once we've chosen our language as
english
now okay is on the bottom of the screen
here and that corresponds with the first
button
directly underneath
okay
set time and date
yes
210
so we want to put 14
10 because it's 24 hour clock in front
of us using the numbers
1
four
one
oh
and what would we press next
okay okay where is that button
yep
so you can see it's quite logical
already isn't it it's easy to follow so
the date is the 30th 31st oh of course
it is
whoops so if you make a mistake
you'll see there isn't an arrow button
to go back i'm going to press the up
button instead see if we can just go up
the number
down the number
oh at least we can press
3 here
see it wouldn't let us
that's really weird
let's do the 12.
and then use the up button
to go back
and put a one in there
i think it perhaps thought it would only
let you put 31 in the months that have
31 days in so what would you press now
do you want to press it yeah okay
yep so there's no ok button so
yeah the one underneath save that's say
done
set a ringtone yes i think that's the
important thing to do now because the
volume is important isn't it
i think that'll suit you
um
oh
nice
okay
14
14
yep
oh you wouldn't miss that one
oh
so you said 14 was the best so far
let's listen to that again and and you
can see we were carried on going down on
the down button but it once it gets to
the end it just takes you back to the
top
probably not the loudest one but we
haven't yet set the volume
i think the decision is when it's at
home when it rings when you hear it when
the tv's on
but also if you're out and about in the
shops or in the bank would you be
embarrassed if it weren't
for that too
so
though i tend to think about
and does it sound like anyone else's
well these ringtones don't sound like
any of the modern kids phones so you're
quite safe
so we've lost the menu so just press up
or down just to get it back on
um
i'll press ok to save that for now
but i need to show you so set the volume
yes we want to keep saying yes don't we
just one of these so you're right it
wasn't completely full
but makes it go louder
text size that's good so you don't have
to have it
so we've got normal now i think let's
try going down to large
press okay and see how it comes down
next
oh we won't be able to tell actually
that's the shape we couldn't tell the
difference
theme i don't know what that means let's
have a look
this is size
so the brightness oh so we've already
got bigger text all right then great so
the theme is what color scheme so if you
look at the the color writing and the
background what do you see
if you look away and put it back again
which is easier to read
next one
i think one or two
mms profile is messaging it's called
multimedia which means you can send
pictures
and stuff well you don't necessarily
need to do it but we'll just have a look
at it quickly
leave it as virgin setting
don't think we needed to even click on
that really so that's actually done
everything for you let's look at these
symbols at the top
so
at the top left
you've got the signal oh we've now got a
second bar if we went closer to the
window
you should see that pick up more so
always check if you've got a signal if
you turn it on it may take a few seconds
to get the signal
you've got a symbol there next to the
music
thing this one here is the battery so it
looks like it's full which is good news
and it's in white it's not in red the
virgin is your company the company
you're using for your phone you've got
the december as a date
menu and name
let's just click on that ice
that's the most important one to set
isn't it because someone can access
ice
you're in case of emergency
to type in a box
you've got to have it
ready to tap into so if you you can't
actually type at the moment you're just
viewing that
so look at the bottom options in these
two where is it there
that button brilliant yep
so now you can see
there's the flashing cursor
so how do you delete
it right
clear yeah
so you've got to touch the keys the
right amount of times to get the m
one tap for my
the name is fine now so what do you need
to do to get to the next bit yeah
that's it so you pressed it held it so
it deletes the whole thing in one go
yeah which is great so you don't have to
keep pressing it so we've come to the
ice bit so in case of emergency you're
going to put all your details in first
then emergency contact after this one so
your name needs to be
yep so to get in that box
is it flashing to type in that box
you press edit good yeah pretty
so
so to then move to the next box because
you want to keep keep going
you want to do not save it yet you want
to carry on
adding information
right so what we'll do then so you can't
see everything now but you can see
there's a little bar that says there's a
long page to go down all right so do
this
you use your arrow key yep downward
arrow
and it automatically puts that's the
next box ready for you to type in right
so this next window shows you that the
text input is numbers because it says
one two three so they're looking for a
number but if you start to type in the
day of your birthday
so you've got that by pressing the star
button yeah and then to move up or down
you use your arrow key
you by pressing the down key you'll keep
going
along
all the options i would go for that one
that one so you press that yeah
ah square 7.
so you can put details like height
weight and language if it's going to be
different to the country that you're in
think it's going to be really relevant
but i would just carry on for now if
you're in
12
you can put it in but you're not in that
right box you need to go up
to the weight box to type in the weight
white
12 and it says numbers so that's right
stone
can i put stone in it doesn't want you
to put lumbers in so i don't know how
you can
do that these are really important
to put in their main things isn't it so
so contact two there yeah go up again
now
and press
you need to change contact one
because i've not put one in so what
would you press
edit it
so you want to press that top button to
edit
to set the contacts so contact one press
your options because it's the only other
button they've given you to use
apart from the back this one yep
so then it says what do you want to do
well you haven't got one so you need to
add it
so we haven't got anything to save yet
so
no one's in the phone book so we can't
add
what we're going to do is come back to
this one then press back
because we need to put some numbers in
your phone book
go back again
i'm going to go to the very beginning
menu back again press back again to add
a contact into your phone book
go to menu
so you've got phone book as your menu
and press ok
it's a new contact you want to put as
your next of kin the person who's going
to be contacted if anything happens then
we can get that added to your ice so
it's suggesting new contacts so you've
highlighted that option but what do you
want to do with it do you want to add a
new contact or do you want to go back
and you want to add it yep
so name first
as you can see by the person the picture
of the person next to that box
and again we're entering
letters at the moment
so we've just put a space using the
bottom key and we've just pressed it
once because that symbol means a space
right what's contained in that line and
then you wait and there's a space ready
to go and then you can type the rest of
the settings
so from scrolling down when you're
entering a land line you do have to
enter the area code but you don't put a
space so just put the whole area code
and the landline number all in one so
what i'd like to show you next is how to
add the person you've just typed into
the phone book into the in case of
emergency into this ice section here so
we're going to go into um we're going to
scroll up
to go to ice
so you're selecting ice to press
okay
and then you're going to add
you're going to go and edit just scroll
down the ice contact so you've got your
own name in there and your own details
but you then want to add that contact
contact 1 contact one is selected now to
add that person now you've got a phone
number in your contacts in your phone
book you can now add them so press
options
first of all
and then you want to add one so press ok
so that's the person you're going to add
press okay if you had entered more
people in your phone book you would have
seen different names in the list
so now that's saved as your contact one
i'm going to see if you can now go to
your phone book and start from scratch
and add a second person to your phone
book let me show you something now
where you are at the moment you're in
eyes yeah in case of emergency
so we don't want to go for that so we're
going to press back
now we're in the phone book which is
where we want it to be
so to add a new person look at the
options on the screen read everything in
front of you and then read the buttons
of what to do so to add a new contact
you you've highlighted new contact
and that's what you want to do so you're
going to press
add
so you can put
you know family
doctor anybody in there
so this is the contact name
so if you press the wrong one to go back
you press clear yeah
and remember if you wanted to delete the
whole word you press and hold
you've got to press fast if you want to
get the second letter on that key but
press it faster so you've got to press 4
twice really fast
got it okay so to put my mobile in
that's the next one and you'll realize
most people use mobiles these days
instead of landlines that's why i've
done it once happy with the number press
save
and that
comes up as saved
so you've got two people in your phone
let's go back and look at some of the
other functions on the phone
