Inserting a SIM card and memory card
Your device supports nano SIM cards.
The XQ-DC54 supports the use of one nano SIM card and a memory card. You can use the device as a dual SIM device
by inserting a nano SIM card and configuring an eSIM.
The XQ-DC72 supports the use of either two nano SIM cards or a nano SIM card and a memory card.
Note
Even if you use two SIMs that support 5G, you can only use 5G on the SIM set for data traffic. You cannot use 5G on two SIMs at
the same time.
XQ-DC54: You do not need to insert a nano SIM card if you will only use an eSIM.
Unmount the memory card before removing it to prevent loss of data. To remove the memory card safely, find and tap [Settings] >
[Storage], tap [This device] to select the name of your SD card, and then tap (More icon) > [Eject].
