Inserting the nano SIM and microSD cards
§ Use a standard nano SIM card. A modified card that is thicker than the standard nano SIM card
will not fit properly on the tray and may damage the card slot.
§ The microSD™ card is optional and sold separately.
1. Set the device on a flat surface.
2. Insert the tip of the tray eject tool that came with your device—or a small bent paperclip—
into the tray eject hole.
When inserting the eject tool into the tray eject hole to remove the card tray, do not obstruct
the tray to avoid damaging the eject mechanism inside the slot.
HTC CONFIDENTIAL
3. Push the tip all the way into the hole until the tray ejects, and then pull the tray out.

4. Do the following to place your nano SIM and microSD cards into the tray:
With the gold contacts facing down, place your nano SIM and microSD cards into the SIM
and SD holders of the tray. Make sure to align the cut-off corner of the nano SIM card to the
notch on the holder.
5. When reinserting the tray, make sure it is facing up so that your cards don't fall out. With the
outer card holder between your fingers, steadily slide the tray all the way into the slot.
6. Make sure the tray is fully inserted and doesn't protrude from the slot.
