Insert the SIM card

Your device uses a nano SIM card. If you don't have a SIM card or don't have the right type of SIM card, contact your service provider.

WARNING! Do not insert the SIM tool into the hole located at the top of the device as this is a microphone. If inserted, this may cause damage to your device.

2.Pull out the tray completely and set it on a flat surface.

3.Hold the SIM card so that the metal contacts are facing away from you. Align the notch on the SIM card with the notch in the smaller section of the tray.
