Is operated the handset with two AAA batteries, which accompanied. The handset was kept slightly larger, but is relatively easy and has large, easy buttons and a clear display. The display is illuminated, the keyboard is not.
The menu is simple and most of the settings you can actually perform without manual, with problems just takes is a quick look at this.
The base station has three touch keys with which you can select the numbers stored there without handset and speakerphone calls. Likewise, it can be assumed with the base station and incoming calls.
The base station has five different ring tones. The handset comes with ten, still others ring tones from which to listen to some terrible and just at high volumes already quite noisemakers are. If required, but you can both the ring tone on the handset as well as the turn of the base station. The volume setting is divided into five stages, and at the highest level they are quite noisy. The phone also has also a visual ringer.
The voice quality is okay and means the opposite good and you will also be well understood. The handset volume can be regulated on the handset using the arrow keys. In addition, there still a button for the "additional volume increase on the handset, the handset volume again extremely raising when actuated.
The "Doro Magna 2000 I like because of its simple and good usability and the ability to adjust both the ringer and earpiece volume quite loud. Only when the rings themselves would perhaps be able to give a little more effort.
A small note on the use of the phone with a Fritz box:
The handset can also be directly to a Fritz box registered (in my case, Fritz box 7390), but here the problem is that some functions, such as no longer changing the date, time and handset volume possible. In addition, a normal telephone call with the "additional volume increase is no longer possible, since the comparison sounds constantly talking even very loud and it clatters partially.
However, if you connect the base station to the Fritz box and connects the handset to the base station there are no problems.
