2. Tilt up the right side slightly and locate the SIM card tray near the bottom, and the small hole
in the tray door.
3. Insert the SIM ejection tool that comes with the tablet (or a paperclip) into the hole in the tray
door, and push firmly but gently until the tray pops out.
4. Remove the tray and place the micro SIM card inside it, with the contacts facing up and the
angled corner fitting snugly into the angled corner of the tray.
5. Reposition the tray in the slot and push it gently back into the tablet.
6. On your tablet, open the Settings app and turn off Wi-Fi. You’ll soon see a notification at the
top of your screen. It may take a minute or more to arrive.

Airplane precautions
Check with airline personnel if you want to use your Nexus 7 on board an aircraft. Most airlines
have restrictions for using electronic devices. Most airlines allow electronic use only between

There are three main types of airport security devices: X-ray machines (used on items placed
on conveyor belts), magnetic detectors (used on people walking through security checks), and
magnetic wands (hand-held devices used on people or individual items). You can send your
Nexus 7 through airport X-ray machines. But do not send your Nexus 7 through airport magnetic
detectors or expose it to magnetic wands.
