Dual-Card Dual-Standby
Your mobile phone supports dual-card dual-standby
mode, which can significantly reduce power consumption
and increase your phone's standby time. Note that two
restrictions exist:
• When you make calls using one SIM card, the other
SIM card is disabled.
For example, when you make calls using SIM card 1,
SIM card 2 cannot be used to answer calls or access
the Internet. If someone calls SIM card 2, the caller will
hear a voice message like "The subscriber you dialed is
out of the service zone" or "The subscriber you dialed
is not able to answer your call, please try again later."
This is because your mobile phone cannot access the
network with both SIM cards at the same time and has
nothing to do with your service provider's network
condition. It is recommended that you subscribe to
services such as voicemail or missed-call reminders
from your service provider to avoid the inconvenience
caused by missed calls.
• When you are using one SIM card's data services, you
can receive calls and messages using the other SIM
card, but data services will be interrupted.
For example, when SIM card 1's data services are in
use, you can use SIM card 2 for calling and messaging,
but SIM card 1's data services will be interrupted as a
result. When the call using SIM card 2 is terminated, or
the message is received or sent, you can resume using
SIM card 1's data services.

Safety information
This section contains important information about the
operation of your device. It also contains information
about how to use the device safely. Read this information
carefully before using your device.
Electronic device
Do not use your device if using the device is prohibited.
Do not use the device if doing so causes danger or
interference with other electronic devices.
Interference with medical equipment
• Follow rules and regulations set forth by hospitals and
health care facilities. Do not use your device where
prohibited.
• Some wireless devices may affect the performance of
hearing aids or pacemakers. Consult your service
provider for more information.
• Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a
minimum distance of 15 cm be maintained between a
device and a pacemaker to prevent potential
interference with the pacemaker. If using a
pacemaker, hold the device on the side opposite the
pacemaker and do not carry the device in your front
pocket.
Protecting your hearing when using a headset
• To prevent possible hearing damage, do not
listen at high volume levels for long periods.
• Using a headset at high volumes may damage your
hearing. To reduce this risk, lower the headset volume
to a safe and comfortable level.

• Exposure to high volumes while driving may cause
distraction and increase your risk of an accident.
Areas with flammables and explosives
• Do not use the device where flammables or explosives
are stored (in a gas station, oil depot, or chemical
plant, for example). Using your device in these
environments increases the risk of explosion or fire. In
addition, follow the instructions indicated in text or
symbols.
• Do not store or transport the device in containers with
flammable liquids, gases, or explosives.
Traffic security
• Observe local laws and regulations while using the
device. To reduce the risk of accidents, do not use your
wireless device while driving.
• Concentrate on driving. Your first responsibility is to
drive safely.
• Do not hold the device while driving. Use hands-free
accessories.
• When you must make or answer a call, pull off the
road safely and park the vehicle first.
• RF signals may affect the electronic systems of motor
vehicles. For more information, consult the vehicle
manufacturer.
• Do not place the device over the air bag or in the air
bag deployment area in a motor vehicle. Doing so may
hurt you because of the strong force when the air bag
inflates.
• Do not use your device while flying in an aircraft or
immediately before boarding. Using wireless devices in

an aircraft may disrupt wireless networks, present a
hazard to aircraft operation, or be illegal.
Operating environment
• Avoid dusty, damp, or dirty environments. Avoid
magnetic fields. Using the device in these
environments may result in circuit malfunctions.
• Do not use your device during thunderstorms to
protect your device against any danger caused by
lightning.
• Ideal operating temperatures are 0 °C to 35 °C. Ideal
storage temperatures are 0 °C to 45 °C. Extreme heat
or cold may damage your device or accessories.
• Do not expose your device to direct sunlight (such as
on a car dashboard) for prolonged periods.
• To protect your device or accessories from fire or
electrical shock hazards, avoid rain and moisture.
• Keep the device away from sources of heat and fire,
such as a heater, microwave oven, stove, water
heater, radiator, or candle.
• Do not place sharp metal objects, such as pins, near
the earpiece or speaker. The earpiece may attract
these objects and result in injury.
• Stop using your device or applications for a while if the
device is overheated. If skin is exposed to an
overheated device for an extended period, low
temperature burn symptoms, such as red spots and
darker pigmentation, may occur.
• Do not use your device's camera flash directly in the
eyes of people or pets. Otherwise temporary loss of
vision or damage to the eyes may occur.
• Do not touch the device's antenna. Otherwise,
communication quality may be reduced.

• Do not allow children or pets to bite or suck the device
or accessories. Doing so may result in damage or
explosion.

safety. Letting children play with the device or its
accessories may be dangerous. The device includes
detachable parts that may present a choking hazard.
Keep away from children.
• The device and its accessories are not intended for use
by children. Children should only use the device with
adult supervision.
Accessories
• Using an unapproved or incompatible power adapter,
charger or battery may cause fire, explosion or other
hazards.
• Choose only accessories approved for use with this
model by the device manufacturer. The use of any
other types of accessories may void the warranty, may
violate local regulations and laws, and may be
dangerous. Please contact your retailer for information
about the availability of approved accessories in your
area.
Charger safety
• For pluggable devices, the socket-outlet shall be
installed near the devices and shall be easily accessible.
• Unplug the charger from electrical outlets and the
device when not in use.
• Do not drop or cause an impact to the charger.
