Dual SIM standby

The device supports two SIM cards for
voice calls and data connection. During
a voice call or data transfer via one
SIM card, the other SIM card becomes
inactive (not registered with your mobile
network operator). This means that you
cannot receive incoming calls or use
data connection via the inactive SIM
card. When the call or data transfer
ends, both SIM cards will become
active and show on the list of registered
networks.

Optimise your battery performance

Here are some tips to help you optimise your
battery performance.

- Always ensure that your phone profile is

appropriately set to meet your actual usage.

- If you are not using Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS or

other applications, turn them off.

- Adjust the intensity of your display screen’s

backlight to low or medium level and for the
shortest duration.

- Avoid using or placing your phone near

magnetic objects (eg. a radio or television)
or on metal surfaces, which will impact the
network connection and ultimately drain power
from your battery.
