1. Insert the SIM and memory
card
1. Open the SIM card tray: push the tray opener pin
in the tray hole and slide the tray out.
2. If you have a single-SIM phone, put a nano-SIM
card in slot 1 and a memory card in slot 2 on the
tray with the contact areas face down. If you have a
dual-SIM phone, put a nano-SIM card in slot 1 and
either a second SIM or a memory card in slot 2 with
the contact areas face down.
Tip: To find out if your phone can use 2 SIM cards,
see the label on the sales box. If there are 2 IMEI
codes on the label, you have a dual-SIM phone.
3. Slide the tray back in.
Use only original nano-SIM cards. Use of incompati-
ble SIM cards may damage the card or the device,
and may corrupt data stored on the card.
Use only compatible memory cards approved for
use with this device. Incompatible cards may dam-
age the card and the device and corrupt data stored
on the card.
Important: Do not remove the memory card
when an app is using it. Doing so may damage the
memory card and the device and corrupt data
stored on the card.
Both SIM cards are available at the same time when
the device is not being used, but while one SIM card
is active, for example, making a call, the other may
be unavailable.
Note: 5G may not be available when two SIM
cards are inserted in your phone. If you have two
SIM cards inserted, both SIM cards support 4G/3G/
2G. Download the software update when available
to enable 5G/4G/3G/2G support for SIM1 and 4G/
3G/2G support for SIM2 when two SIM cards are
inserted.
2. Charge the battery and switch
th
e phone on
Plug a compatible charger into a wall outlet, and
connect the cable to your phone. Your phone
supports the USB-C cable. You can also charge your
phone from a computer with a USB cable, but it may
take a longer time.
If the battery is completely discharged, it may take
several minutes before the charging indicator is
displayed.
To switch your phone on, press and hold the power
key until the phone vibrates. The phone guides you
through the setup.
