Note: Always turn off the phone and detach the charger before you insert or remove a SIM card.

The SIM card

When you register as a subscriber with a service provider, you get a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) 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: Verify that 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.

1. Insert the SIM card. Slide the silvery holder over the SIM card to lock it in place.

2. Place the battery on the back of the phone with the connectors facing each other.

3. Place the back cover as shown in the picture and slide it into place.

4. Connect the charger to the phone at the flash symbol. The flash symbol on the charger plug must face upwards.

5. It may take up to 30 minutes before the battery charging icon appears in the display.
