Safety information
•Users should pay particular attention to the potential for interference from other systems
operating in the same or adjacent frequency bands.
•The Doro 450 cannot and shall not be dismantled.
•Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. To reduce risk of fire or burns, do not
disassemble, crush, puncture, short external contacts, expose to temperature above 60° C (140°
F), expose to extremely low air pressure or dispose of in fire or water. Recycle or dispose of used
batteries according to the local regulations or reference guide supplied with your product.
•Only use recommended power supply as stated in the section Power supply.
•The wall socket should be installed near the Doro charger equipment and should be easily
accessible.
•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. The unit should never be used in an operating temperature exceeding 40 °C or below -
10 °C.
Important information
All systems using radio and telecommunications are subject to interference beyond the user’s
control.
Products from Doro are designed to minimize the impact of such interference. Nevertheless, the user
must be aware that system components can be subjected to interference or other influences that
may cause malfunction.
It is therefore important to regularly check that every part of the system works in all areas, especially
radio communications. Contact your supplier immediately in case of any suspected malfunction.
Keep the product away from interfering devices such as radio transmitters, mobile phones, DECT-
telephones or wireless headphones.
Users should pay particular attention to the risk of disruption from products which communicate
using the same or adjacent frequencies.
For further information, please contact your supplier.
2.1 Medical units
The use of equipment that transmits radio signals, for example, 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 signals, or if you have any questions.
If notices have been put up at health care facilities instructing 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.

4
2.1.1 Implanted medical devices
To avoid potential interference, manufacturers of implanted medical devices recommend a minimum
separation of 15 cm between a wireless device and the medical device. Persons who have such
devices should:
•Always keep the wireless device more than 15 cm from the medical device.
•Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
•Hold the wireless device to the ear opposite the medical device.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn the phone off immediately If
you have any questions about using your wireless device with an implanted medical device, consult
your health care provider.
2.2 Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
This device meets applicable international safety requirements for exposure to radio waves. Your
mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure
to radio waves (radio frequency electromagnetic fields) recommended by international guidelines
from the independent scientific organization ICNIRP (International Commission of Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection). The radio wave exposure guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg averaged over 10 grams of tissue and include a substantial
safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. Tests for SAR
are conducted using standard operating positions with the device transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all tested frequency bands. The highest SAR values under the ICNIRP guidelines for this
device model are:
Body SAR: 1.373 W/kg
During normal use, the SAR values for this device are usually well below the values stated above. This
is because, for purposes of system efficiency and to minimize interference on the network, the
output power of your mobile device
is automatically decreased when full power is not needed for the call. The lower the power output of
the device, the lower its SAR value.

Description
Doro 450 is a small and comfortable GPS mobile social alarm that improves security not only in the
home, but everywhere the user goes. It is easy to carry around at all times, either in a pocket or as a
pendant around the neck, and it is waterproof (IP67). When the emergency assistance button is
pressed, an alarm is sent to the monitoring centre and a built-in speakerphone enables voice
communication with the centre's trained staff. GPS, Wi-Fi and beacon positioning all cooperate to
provide not only the user’s location, but also advanced tracking and geofencing functionality that
incorporates energy-saving technology for achieving long battery time. A mobile social alarm makes it
easier for the senior to maintain an active lifestyle. The alarm should be directed to an alarm
receiving centre, a relative or care staff. The service can be set up as a social alarm or a GPS-tracking
alarm. A mobile social alarm encourages and helps the senior to stay active and move around freely
outside their home, while still feeling safe.
Alarms
5.1 Emergency alarm
This alarm is triggered via the SOS button on the front of the device. Three short presses in a row, or
a long 3s press will activate the alarm.
5.2 Fall alarm
The fall algorithm built into the device can have two levels of sensitivity, high or normal.
In the event of that the device register a fall, then it will check for motion or steps for a period of 30s
after the fall occurred. If motion or steps are recorded within this period, then the device will cancel
the fall alarm This sequence is silent, and user will not know that the device has registered a fall, and
thereafter canceled it.
In the event of that the device register a fall, the user will be alerted with a beep every second for the
coming 30s. During these 30s the fall alarm can be canceled by the user with a press on the side
button.
Note! A false alarm is cancelled if there is movement detected after the fall. If the device is placed on
a hard surface, such as a table, and then not moved, it can generate a false alarm.
5.3 Geo-Fence alarm
Two type of Geo-fence alarms can be set in the Doro 450. Settings is done via i-care® online. The
fence shall be defined so that the target, such as a house, lake etc. is in the middle of the fence. The
radius of the fence shall not be less than 100m.
•Geo-Fence alarm IN.
oIf the device enter inside this fence the alarm will be triggered
oTwo Geo-fence IN zones can be setup
•Geo-Fence Out
oIf the device go outside of this fence the alarm will be sent
oThe Beacon need to be inside this fence
oOne Geo-Fence OUT zone can be set up

5.4 Technical alarms
•Power on
•Power off alarm
•Low battery alarm
•Critical low battery alarm (EOL alarm)
•Battery full alarm
•Test transmission alarm
Positioning
The device position can be determined in 4 different ways. GPS (and Glonass), Wi-Fi, LBS and via
Beacon.
Every 3 minutes the device will determine its position, except for when it is stationary as in below
cases:
•Static. Definition of static is 7 minutes without movement. Movement is determined by the
accelerometer in the device.
•In contact with at least one beacon.
Satellite’s positioning has the highest priority. Accuracy is often about 10-100m.
Wi-Fi position is determined by 2 or more mac addresses obtained from surrounding Wi-Fi networks.
Accuracy is often about 10-100m.
Base station position is determined by data from 2 or more GSM base stations that the device have in
range. Accuracy is often less than 1000m.
Beacon. If there is a beacon registered as “home” is within range, the system know that the user is at
home.
Sending SMS
The device can send a predefined text message to one predefined receiver. SMS is sent by pressing
the side button on the device. A sound and a vibration are played to confirm that the SMS will be
sent.
The SMS will contain a link with a google map position.
