2. Lift the cover up and to the right of the phone.
Warning! Do not bend or twist the back cover excessively. Doing so may damage the cover.
► Carefully slide the SIM card into the SIM card
socket (as shown) until the card locks into place.
Make sure that the card’s gold contacts face into the phone and that the angled corner of the card is positioned as shown.

When to Charge the Battery
When the battery is weak and only a few minutes of talk time remain, the device sounds a warning tone at regular intervals.

When the battery level becomes too low, the device automatically turns off.
1. Insert the USB cable into the port.
2. Connect the USB cable to the charging head, then plug the charging head into a standard ACpower outlet.
3. When charging is complete, unplug the charging head from the power outlet and remove the USB cable from the device.
Caution: Failure to unplug the charger before you remove the battery, can cause damage to the device.
► For a quick check of your battery level, see
the battery charge indicator located in the upper-right corner of your device’s display. Solid color ( ) indicates a full charge.
You can also choose to display a percentage value. Having a percentage value onscreen can provide a better idea of the remaining charge on the battery. For more information, see Battery.
