Get the most out of your HearingBuds
Your brain and ears may need some time to get used to the new sound.
The human ear is very complex and some things will sound strange at first,
but give yourself time to adjust this new sound.
•We recommend wearing your HearingBuds every day at first but take
regular breaks.
•Get used to your own voice as this may sound strange to begin with.
•Try your HearingBuds in different environments.
Please also make sure that you after installation is complete, you take the
interactive audio test to personalise and optimise the earbuds performance
according to your specific hearing.
This is an essential step for a successful experience, see Interactive audio
test for personalised sound, p.10.
Unbox your Doro HearingBuds
The first step is to unbox the HearingBuds and assess the items and equip-
ment included in the delivery. Make sure to read through the manual so
you can familiarise yourself with the equipment and the basic functions.
For more information about accessories or other Doro products please visit
doro.com or contact our Helpline.
Getting started
1. When you open the case, make sure that the lights on the earbuds
are activated. If not, check to see if there is a small plastic strip on the
charging contacts. You have to remove this plastic strip before you
can charge your earbuds.
2. We recommend that you charge the case and the earbuds before you
use them, see Charging, p.5

English
3. To optimise the performance you can download the Doro Hearing-
Buds app. In the app you can try different sound settings, see Hearing
profiles, p.8
4. Select the most comfortable tip size for your ears. There are three dif-
ferent sizes of tips included in the package: black is large, green me-
dium and white is the smallest size.
5. Gently insert the silicone tip into the ear canal and position the flat
part (with the charging contacts) on the outer ear. There is no left or
right, so no need to worry about inserting it into the wrong ear. The
earbuds have an automatic left/right ear detection.
Tip: Try gently pulling the top of your outer ear up to aid in fitting them
correctly and comfortably.

Connect and pair
How to connect your HearingBuds via Bluetooth
IMPORTANT!
The HearingBuds must be placed in the charging case before the pairing
process is started.
1. First activate Bluetooth on the device you want to pair with the ear-
buds. On most mobile devices you can find Bluetooth under Settings
Bluetooth.
2. Open the case. Press and hold the pairing button until the light in
front of the case starts blinking blue.
3. Remove the earbuds from the charging case.
Note! If your connecting device supports Google Fast Pair, Doro
HearingBuds will automatically show up for connection. Select
Connect/Pair to pair.
4. Go to Settings Bluetooth on your phone (or other device you have
connected).
5. Select “Doro HearingBuds” in the list of available Bluetooth devices
and then select Connect/Pair or similar.
Should pairing fail or you want to pair the HearingBuds with a different de-
vice, repeat the previous steps.

Using the earbuds
Operating your earbuds is easy. If you want to answer or end a call, or play
and pause media, simply tap one of the earbuds twice.
If the sound cuts out while listening, make sure that your Bluetooth con-
nection has not been interrupted. Also make sure that your phone is in a
good position, for example in one of your front pockets.
Charging
When the earbuds are in the case they will charge automatically. A fully
charged case can charge the earbuds fully two times before it needs to be
re-charged.
To charge the case, insert a USB-C cable and connect to a power source
that has been CE or UKCA certified. Charge the complete product with the
earbuds inside the charging case. The light on the front of the case should
be blinking slowly while it charges. It will take about three hours until the
case is fully charged.

English
The light on the case changes colour depending on how much it is charged.
•Steady green light = fully charged
•Orange light = battery capacity about 20–80%
•Red light = battery capacity at about 5–20%
•Red and flashing light = battery level is critical, about 0–5%.
If the battery of the earbuds are running low the lights will turn red on one
or both of the earbuds. To charge the earbuds, put them back in the case
for a while.
