details, such as your PIN, available optional
services, and others features.

Warning: The plug-in SIM card information and its
contacts can be easily damaged by scratching or
bending, so be careful when handling, inserting, or
removing the card. Keep all SIM cards out of reach of
small children.

1. Remove the back cover using the slot on the top

left of your phone.

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.

Make sure that the card’s gold contacts face into
the phone and that the upper-left angled corner
of the card is positioned as shown.

head from the outlet and remove the USB cable
from the device.

Caution: Failure to unplug the wall charger before you
remove the battery, can cause damage to the device.

When to Charge the Battery

When the battery is weak and only a few minutes
of operation remain, the battery icon ( ) blinks
and the device sounds a warning tone at regular
intervals.

In this condition, your device conserves its
remaining battery power by dimming the screen.

When the battery level becomes too low, the device
automatically turns off.

► For a quick check of your battery level, view the

battery charge indicator located in the upper­right corner of your device’s display. A solid
color ( ) indicates a full charge.

You can also choose to display a percentage
value. Viewing a percentage value can provide
a better idea of the remaining charge on the
