SIM card

Your SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card contains a computer chip with your service details and phone numbers. Like a credit card, it should be kept securely and handled carefully. Do not bend, scratch or expose to moisture. Avoid static electricity. To avoid corrupting the memory of your SIM card, always switch off your phone before removing or inserting your SIM card.

When you insert a new SIM card, your phone prompts you to select whether or not you wish to copy the SIM contents to the phone memory

switched on or if temperature is outside the operating range). When your battery is completely empty, it can take some time until the battery icon appears during charging. As an energy-saving measure disconnect the charger from both the mains socket and the phone after charging. On exposure to high temperatures your battery may expand slightly. This has no influence on your safety/health and will reduce to its original size once re-exposed to a lower temperature.
