Insert SIM card, memory card and the battery

The SIM card and the battery are normally pre-installed. Follow these instructions should you ever need to access them yourself. The SIM and memory card holder’s are located inside the battery compartment.

Tip: Take care not to scratch the metallic contacts on the cards when inserting them into the card holders.

Remove the battery cover

IMPORTANT!

Turn off the phone and disconnect the charger before removing the battery cover. Be careful not to damage your fingernails when you remove the battery cover. Do not bend or twist the battery cover excessively as it may get damaged.

Insert the SIM card

IMPORTANT!

Insert the micro-SIM (3FF) card by gently sliding it into the SIM card slot. Make sure that the SIM card’s contacts are facing inwards and that the cut off corner is down, as shown . Take care not to scratch or bend the contacts on the SIM card. Should you need, but have difficulty removing/replacing the SIM card, use adhesive tape on the exposed part of the SIM card to pull it out.

This device accepts a micro-SIM card or 3FF. Use of incompatible SIM cards may damage the card or the device, and may corrupt data stored on the card.
