Possible risk of swallowing small parts!
The SIM card can be removed. Small children could swallow it.
Please make sure that the SIM card is not bent or scratched.
Avoid contact with water, dirt, or electrical charges.
Your phone number is on the SIM card, and is not stored on the phone.
If you use the SIM card from your previous phone then you will keep
your phone number, because your telephone number is allocated to the
SIM card and is not stored on the phone.

the bottom side of the phone, and pulling the cover up.

• Your phone supports two SIM cards. This enables you to, for example,
continue to use your “old” phone’s SIM card and to insert a prepaid data
SIM card as well. This allows you to keep your phone number and you
do not need to cancel, or change, your current contract. Card slot 1 sup-
ports UMTS/GSM (3G) and card slot 2 is limited to GSM (2G).
When using only one card, and to use all the phone’s services, you must
place the card in card slot 1.
Slide the SIM card(s), with the gold contacts facing down, into the SIM
card slot(s).
• You have the option to insert a micro SD card (max. 32 GB) to increase
the storage capacity. Slide the memory card, with the golden contacts
facing down, into the slot until it stops.

ve force when inserting the plug.
