When you subscribe to a cellular network, you are
provided with a plug-in SIM card loaded with your
subscription details, such as your PIN, any optional
services available and many others.

easily damaged by scratches or bending, so be careful
when handling, inserting or removing the card.
Keep all SIM cards out of the reach of small children.

2. Remove the battery. To do so:
• Press and hold the battery lock above the battery upward
toward the top of the phone.

time remain, you hear a warning tone and a message
repeats at regular intervals on the display. When this
happens, your phone turns off the backlight to conserve
the remaining battery power.
When the battery level gets too low, the phone
automatically turns off.
