2. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps carefully to install your SIM cards and/or microSD card into the tray and then into your DOOGEE S96 Pro device.
- Power Off Your Device: Before attempting to remove or insert the SIM tray, always power off your DOOGEE S96 Pro to prevent data corruption or damage.
- Locate the SIM Tray Slot: The SIM tray slot is typically located on the side of your phone.
- Eject the Old Tray (if applicable): Insert a SIM ejection tool (or a small paperclip) into the small hole next to the SIM tray slot. Press firmly but gently until the tray pops out slightly. Pull the tray out completely.
- Prepare Your Cards: Ensure your SIM cards are Nano-SIM size. If you are using a microSD card, ensure it is compatible with your device.
- Insert Cards into the New Tray: Carefully place your Nano-SIM cards and/or microSD card into the designated slots on the new SIM tray. Observe the cut-off corner on the SIM cards and the orientation of the microSD card to match the tray's shape. Ensure they lie flat and are securely seated in their respective slots. The tray typically supports two Nano-SIM cards and one microSD card simultaneously.
- Insert the Tray into the Phone: Gently slide the loaded SIM tray back into the slot on your DOOGEE S96 Pro. Do not force it. It should slide in smoothly and sit flush with the phone's body.
- Power On Your Device: Once the tray is fully inserted, power on your DOOGEE S96 Pro.
3. Operating and Verification
After installation, your phone should automatically detect the inserted SIM cards and microSD card.
- SIM Card Recognition: Check the notification bar or go to 'Settings' > 'Network & internet' > 'SIM cards' to verify that your SIM cards are recognized and active. You should see your network provider's name(s).
- MicroSD Card Recognition: Go to 'Settings' > 'Storage' to confirm that your microSD card is detected and its storage capacity is displayed.
- Functionality Test: Make a test call or send a text message to ensure cellular services are working. Access your phone's file manager to verify you can read and write data to the microSD card.
4. Maintenance
Proper care of your SIM tray ensures its longevity and reliable performance.
- Handle with Care: Always use the correct SIM ejection tool. Avoid using sharp or inappropriate objects that could damage the tray or the phone's internal mechanism.
- Keep Clean: If the tray becomes dirty, gently wipe it with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use liquids or abrasive cleaners.
- Avoid Bending: The SIM tray is a delicate component. Do not bend or apply excessive force to it, as this can cause permanent damage and prevent proper seating in the phone.
- Proper Storage: If you remove the tray and do not immediately reinsert it, store it in a safe, clean place to prevent loss or damage.
