Getting started

Inserting the SIM card, miniSD™ card, and battery

When you register with a service provider, you receive a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card. Your phone must have a SIM card in order to make calls. The SIM card is a computer chip that contains your phone number, phonebook information, and service provider information. Handle it with care and do not bend it or expose it to static electricity or dirt. Be sure the power to your phone is off before you insert your SIM card.

The SIM card and the miniSD™ card slots are situated underneath the battery.

To insert the SIM card:

1. Slide the cover in the direction of the arrow.

Lift and set it aside.

2. Remove the battery. The battery compartment has a groove at the top to make it easier to remove the battery.

3. Push the SIM card holder in the direction of the “Open” arrow, then lift it using your ﬁngernail.

4. Insert the SIM card into the holder. The gold contacts of the SIM card should face down and the notched edge should be on the top right corner.

5. Place the SIM card holder back in place and slide in the direction of the “Lock” arrow to secure.

To insert the miniSD™ card:

1. Place the card in the slot with the gold contacts facing down.

2. Secure the miniSD™ card in place with the metal clasp by moving it towards the card.

NOTE: In some regions, the miniSD™ card may be supplied as an optional accessory only.
