This user guide applies to the following models: TA-1479, TA-1490, TA-1481, TA-1475.
Some of the accessories mentioned in this user guide, such as charger, headset, or data cable,
may be sold separately.
Parts and connectors, magnetism
Do not connect to products that create an output signal, as this may damage the device. Do
not connect any voltage source to the audio connector. If you connect an external device
or headset, other than those approved for use with this device, to the audio connector, pay
special attention to volume levels.
Parts of the device are magnetic. Metallic materials may be attracted to the device. Do not
place credit cards or other magnetic stripe cards near the device for extended periods of time,
since the cards may be damaged.
INSERT THE SIM AND MEMORY CARDS
Insert the cards
1. Open the SIM card tray: push the tray opener pin in the tray hole and slide the tray out.
2. If you have a single-SIM phone, put a nano-SIM card in slot 1 and a memory card in slot 2
on the tray with the contact areas face down. If you have a dual-SIM phone, put a nano-SIM
card in slot 1 and either a second SIM or a memory card in slot 2 with the contact areas face
down.
If you have an eSIM card instead of a physical SIM card, switch on your phone and follow the
instructions on the phone. To be able to activate your eSIM, you need a Wi-Fi connection. To
purchase an eSIM card, contact your network operator. Note that if you have a single-SIM
phone, you can only have one SIM card, physical or eSIM, active at a time. If you have a dualSIM phone, you can have two physical SIM cards or a physical SIM and an eSIM active at a time.
For information on eSIM cards, contact your network operator.
Tip: To find out if your phone can use 2 SIM cards, see the label on the sales box. If there are
2 IMEI codes on the label, you have a dual-SIM phone.

the memory card and the device and corrupt data stored on the card.
