9 | Product model silkscreen | 10 | Two SIM card slots NOTE:The double-card single-standby is supported, and SIM1 is the default master card. If only one SIM card needs to be installed, install it in slot SIM1. When installing a SIM card, ensure that the notch direction of the SIM card is consistent with that of the SIM card slot. The standard SIM card is supported. It is not recommended to use the card cover to prevent poor SIM card contact. Hot-swap SIM card is not supported. After replugging the SIM card, you need to restart the RF module or restart the device.
