1 GETTING STARTED
This document describes the Hisense phone with CDMA digital service at 800 MHz.
Installing your RUIM card and Battery
The RUIM card is supplied by your service provider when you register as a user. It contains all the
important data pertaining to your line.
1. Hold the phone face down. Slide the battery door off the phone and remove the battery.
2. If necessary, slide the RUIM card lock upward to the end.
3. Insert the RUIM card into its compartment with the metal contacts facing down and the cut corner
to the left.
4. Slide back the RUIM card lock fully until it latches, so that the RUIM card can be properly activated
during power on.
5. Insert the battery, with two tabs on the top aligned with the slots at the top of the battery
compartment and push down.

Important: Make sure that the phone is switched off and is disconnected from the charger before you
