card. The SIM card contains a computer chip that
keeps track of your phone number, the services
included in your subscription, and your Phonebook
information, among other things.
Tip: Check if your information is saved to the SIM
card before you remove it from another phone. For
example, Phonebook entries may be saved in the
phone memory.

appears when charging.
1. Insert the SIM card. Slide the metal holder over the
SIM card to lock it in place.
2. Place the battery on the back of the phone with the
label side up.
3. Place the back cover as shown in the picture and
slide it into place.

( ). The flash symbol on the charger plug must face
upwards.
