4.2. Switching Between SIM Cards

• The card changer can only enable one SIM card at a time. Simultaneous online use of multiple cards is not supported.
• To switch to a different SIM card, first push the switch of the currently active SIM card to the "OFF" position (away from the SIM card slot).
• Then, push the switch of the desired new SIM card to the "ON" position.
• The device supports hot-swapping, meaning you do not need to restart your phone to change cards. The new card should be recognized within approximately 5 seconds.

Refer to Video 1 in the Setup Instructions for a visual guide on switching SIM cards.

5. Maintenance

The UTHAI T13 Multi-SIM Card Changer is built with industrial-grade, high-quality, and highly stable PCB materials designed for durability and continuous operation (7x24 hours).

• Keep the device clean and free from dust and moisture.
• Avoid physical impact or bending of the main board or FPC cables.
• Ensure FPC cable connections are secure to prevent signal interruption.

6. Troubleshooting

• No Signal/Card Not Recognized:
  • Ensure the FPC cable is securely connected to both the main board and the SIM adapter.
  • Verify that the SIM card is correctly inserted into its slot on the main board, with the notch aligned and contacts facing inwards.
  • Check that the SIM adapter is fully and correctly inserted into your phone's SIM tray.
  • Confirm that the switch for the desired SIM card on the main board is in the "ON" position.
  • The device has a signal delay of less than 0.0000001 seconds, so signal issues are unlikely to be caused by the changer itself. Check your phone's network settings or contact your mobile carrier.
• Phone Functionality Issues:
  • The card changer only expands the card slot functionality and does not limit your mobile phone's native functions (sending/receiving texts, calls, data). If phone functions are impaired, it is likely an issue with the phone itself or the SIM card.
• Compatibility Issues:
  • The card changer is not universally compatible with all phone models. Ensure you have purchased the correct model compatible with your specific mobile phone to avoid compatibility issues.
  • It supports various operators including Telecom, Mobile, China Unicom, and virtual cards (165, 167, 170, 171), as well as foreign cards, across 2G/3G/4G/5G networks (depending on your phone's network support).
