What is a SIM Card?
A SIM Card is a Subscriber Identity Module (computer chip) that contains identity
information for accessing the Iridium network. It functions as the digital memory of the
RST100B and also stores your personal information, including received SMS messages.
SIM Card Protection
Handle the SIM card with care, avoid exposing the card to static electricity, water or dirt.
Scratching or bending the SIM card will damage the card or its metal contacts.
Installing & Removing the SIM Card
The SIM card is stored in a recess in the SIM card compartment located at bottom of
your RST100B.
If your Service Provider has not installed the SIM card for you, follow these steps to
install it.
WARNING:
Make sure the RST100RST100B is switched off before you insert or
remove the SIM card. If you do not, the memory on your SIM card
and or the SIM card itself may be damaged.
