Huawei Ascend G525 Operating Instructions

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.

Dual-SIM-Dual-Standby

Ihr Telefon unterstützt den Dual-Standby-Modus für
Dual-SIM-Karten, wodurch der Energieverbrauch
wesentlich reduziert und die Standby-Zeit erhöht
werden kann. Beachten Sie diese zwei
Einschränkungen:

• Wenn Sie über eine SIM-Karte anrufen, wird die

andere SIM-Karte deaktiviert.
Wenn Sie zum Beispiel Anrufe mit der SIM-Karte 1

tätigen, kann die SIM-Karte 2 nicht zum
Entgegennehmen von Anrufen oder für den Zugriff
auf das Internet verwendet werden. Wenn Sie
einen Anruf über die SIM-Karte 2 erhalten, hört der
Anrufer eine Ansage wie etwa „Der Teilnehmer ist
vorübergehend nicht erreichbar“ oder „Der
Teilnehmer kann Ihren Anruf derzeit nicht
entgegennehmen, versuchen Sie es später noch
einmal“. Der Grund dafür ist, dass Ihr Telefon nicht
gleichzeitig mit beiden SIM-Karten auf das Netz
zugreifen kann und hat nichts mit dem Netzzustand
bei Ihrem Dienstanbieter zu tun. Es ist zu
empfehlen, einen Mailboxdienst oder
Benachrichtigungen für verpasste Anrufe bei I hrem
Dienstanbieter zu abonnieren, um Nachteil durch
verpasste Anrufe zu vermeiden.

• Wenn Sie die Datendienste über eine SIM-Karte

benutzen, können Sie über die andere SIM-Karte
Anrufe entgegennehmen und Nachrichten
empfangen, aber die Datendienste werden dafür
unterbrochen.

Wenn Sie zum Beispiel über die SIM-Karte 1 Daten
übertragen, können Sie über die SIM-Karte 2
Anrufe tätigen oder Nachrichten versenden, aber
die Datendienste über die SIM-Karte 1 werden für
diesen Vorgang unterbrochen. Wenn der Anruf
über die SIM-Karte 2 beendet ist bzw. die Nachricht
empfangen oder versendet wurde, können Sie die
Datendienste über die SIM-Karte 1 wieder
aufnehmen.
