The PINE64 PinePhone and PinePhone Pro feature six physical DIP privacy switches located under the removable back cover.Privacy Switch Layout and FunctionsThe switches are numbered 1 through 6, starting nearest to the modem, with the "on" position flipped toward the top of the phone.
Switch 1 (Modem): Controls the LTE/2G/3G/4G cellular communication and GNSS/GPS hardware.
Switch 2 (WiFi / Bluetooth): Controls the wireless networking and Bluetooth communication modules.
Switch 3 (Microphone): Disables audio input from the internal on-board microphones (does not affect an external 3.5 mm headset mic).
Switch 4 (Rear camera): Physically cuts power/disables the rear-facing camera.
Switch 5 (Front camera): Physically cuts power/disables the front-facing camera.
Switch 6 (Headphone): Enables or disables audio input/output through the 3.5 mm jack; turning it off switches the jack into a hardware
UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter) debugging mode.
Important Usage Rules
Power off first: Do not change switch positions while the device is turned on. Toggling the modem switch while the phone is running can corrupt the modem firmware.No dynamic detection: The operating system does not receive a live notification when hardware power is cut via these switches. Turning a switch back on while the system is running may require a reboot for the component to be recognized again.
