The SIM card is installed in a slot on the side of your device. If you purchased your device at a Verizon Wireless store, the

SIM card is activated and ready to use. If you ordered a new device, the card may need to be activated before you can use it. For more information about activating the SIM card, visit:

http://www.verizonwireless.com/4GSIM

Caution!

Do not bend or scratch the SIM card. Take care when handling, installing, or removing the SIM card, and avoid exposing the SIM card to static electricity, water, or dirt. Keep the SIM card out of reach of small children.
