Getting Started

Installing the SIM Card

When you subscribe to a cellular network, you are
provided with a plug-in SIM card loaded with your
subscription details, such as your PIN, any optional
services available and many others.

n

Important!

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

1.

If necessary, switch off the phone by holding down
the

key until the power-off image displays.

2.

Remove the battery. To do so:

1

Pull and hold the battery lock above the battery
toward the top of the phone.

2

Lift the battery away, as shown.

3.

Slide the SIM card into the SIM card socket so that
it locks the card into place. Make sure that the
notched corner is bottom left and the gold contacts
of the card face into the phone.

n

Note

When you need to remove the SIM card, slide it, as shown,
and take it out of the socket.
