Assemble Your Device

Getting Started

Install the SIM Card

When you subscribe to a cellular network, you are 
provided with a plug-in SIM card. During activation, 
your SIM card will be loaded with your subscription 
details, such as your PIN, available optional 
services, and other features.

Warning

: Please be careful when handling the SIM 

card to avoid damaging it. Keep all SIM cards out of 
reach of small children.

 

►

Carefully slide the SIM card into the SIM card 
slot. 

Make sure that the card’s gold contacts face into 
the phone and that the upper-left angled corner 
of the card is positioned as shown. 

Caution

: If the card is not inserted correctly, the 

device cannot detect the SIM card. Reorient the 
card and place it back into the slot if the SIM is 
not detected.

Install a Memory Card

You can install an optional microSD or microSDHC 
memory card (not included) to expand available 
memory space.

Note

: A memory card can be installed at any time; it 

is not necessary to install it prior to using the device. 

For more information on installing a memory card, 
see 

Install a Memory Card

.

Install the Battery

1.  Insert the battery into the opening on the back of 

the phone, making sure the connectors align.
