but the differences between the two versions are not fully covered in the
instructions. The
pictures used in these instructions are for reference only and may differ from
your phone.

tray (with Nano card ) into
~ the phone.
~
&Note
1. The back cover is not removable, so as not to damage the machine.
2. Put SIM card into card tray, then mount card tray into the phone. It is
forbidden to insert SIM card to the phone directly.
3. You are suggested not to cut your SIM card by yourself. If the Nano card
(SIM1/SIM2) does not match, please go to the
carrier to change a standard Nano card.
4. This phone supports “Dual SIM Dual Standby Single Pass”, which means that
voice or data services cannot be used on both
cards at the same time.When a call is established on one SIM card, the other
one cannot make or receive calls. Callers to the
other card may hear the message “The number you have dialed is not in
service11 or “The number you have dialed is
temporarily unavailable. Try again later”.When one SIM card is using a data
connection, the other one cannot use data
services.The above situation is due to the Dual SIM Dual Standby Single Pass
feature on this phone, and not related to the
carrier’s network.This phone supports only Single Pass because it has adopted
the single-chip design, which can significantly
increase standby time and reduce power consumption.You are advised to consult
your local carrier to enable services such as
“Missed call reminder”, “Incoming call reminder,” and “Secretarial service” to
receive reminders for missed calls.
