Getting your device ready
Installing the SIM card and battery
Before you can make a phone call using your MarsII, you need to install a Subscriber Identity
Module (SIM) card. A SIM card contains your phone number, subscriber details, phonebook,
and additional phone memory.
Your MarsII comes with a rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery.
New batteries come partially discharged and should be fully charged before using them. They
generally do not reach their rated capacity until they have been charged and discharged at
least four (4) times. We recommended that new batteries be charged overnight even though
they may indicate that the charge is complete after a few hours. Sometimes charging may
stop during the initial charge and it is necessary to remove the battery for approximately
fteen (15) minutes and then put it back on charge.
CAUTION:
Use only an ASUS qualied battery.
To install a SIM card and battery:
1. Remove the battery compartment over.
NOTE:
If the device is on, it automatically turns off
after you open the battery compartment.

2. Remove the battery.
3. Insert the SIM card with its gold
contacts facing down and the notched
corner oriented to the upper left corner
of the slot as shown.
4. Replace the battery into the
compartment with its copper contacts
aligned to the copper conductor on the
device.
5. Replace battery compartment cover.

The bundled battery pack is shipped partially charged. Charge the battery up to four (4) hours
before using for the rst time.
