Installing the USIM card
Your USIM card contains your phone number, service details and contacts and must
be inserted into your handset.
If your USIM card is removed then your handset becomes unusable until a valid one is
inserted. Always disconnect the charger and other accessories from your handset
before inserting and removing your USIM card.
Your USIM card may only be used in handsets which are enabled for 3 services. Any
attempt to use the USIM card in other handsets may result in serious damage to the
handset and may prevent you from being able to use it, including the making of
emergency calls.
