Congratulations on your purchase
Doro 4100H is a new type of corded phone for the home or workplace that
requires no fixed telephone line. Unlike conventional corded phones, a SIM
card is inserted to connect with 2G, 3G and high-speed 4G LTE cellular net-
works. This makes it possible to also send and receive SMS text messages,
as well as to take the phone along on a holiday for use in a motorhome,
caravan or summer home if desired. The Doro 4100H features separated
keys with large, easy to read characters. Other features include both speak-
erphone and the ability to connect a Bluetooth® wireless headset for
hands-free operation, as well as an assistance button for alerting up to five
contacts if help is needed.
For more information about accessories or other Doro products please visit
www.doro.com or contact our Helpline.
