2.3 Installing、Uninstalling the SIM、TF Card and Batter
1. Lift the latch handle of the battery cover and turn it counterclockwise
to the unlocked (vertical) position. Then, detach the cover from the device.

2. We can see two slots then, with the upper side one installing SIM card
and the bottom side one installing TF card. To install the SIM card, push
the SIM card holder right. With the SIM card’s chip side facing down put
the card into the slot. Close the holder then. The TF card installation is
similar to the SIM card installation. To remove the SIM card and TF card,
push the holder and then take out the card.
3. To install the battery, attach the bottom side of the battery to the
compartment at an angle and then lower the upper side to engage the
connector. Attach the bottom side of the battery cover to the device at an
angle, and then with the handle still in the unlocked (vertical) position, fit
the latch handle into place. Secure the latch by turning it clockwise to the
lock (horizontal) position.

recommended you engage the top of the battery into the connector first
at an angle and then push the bottom of the battery to the compartment.

completely before using it for the first time. Charging duration is two and
a half hours. The charger has an overcharge protection function.

12
CAUTI N: For optimal performance of the lithium battery, take note of the
following:
Use the included AC adapter and charger only.
There is no need to fully discharge the battery before charging. You
can charge the battery before it is discharged.

50℃) or low(less than 0℃).
If you will not use the product for a long period of time, be sure to fully
charge the battery at least once every two weeks, over discharge of
the battery can affect the charging performance.
2.5 Fitting the Hand Strap
Align the upper hand strap bracket with the two mounting holes behind
the device and then use a screwdriver to tighten the screws. The other
side is fixed to the hand strap holders at the bottom of the device. We can
see it after the installation is complete as shown in figure 2.
