SIM Card
Before using your wireless phone you must register with a wireless network service provider to receive a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module). The SIM card contains a computer chip that stores and tracks your phone number, the services included in your subscription, and your SIM phonebook information. It is stored in a recess in the battery compartment.
The phone can not be used (except for 911 emergency calls) until a valid SIM is inserted.(See Flag.) It is possible to transfer your SIM to another compatible phone and access your network services. The screen on your phone displays a message if the SIM card is not inserted properly. (See Flag and Warnings.) If the SIM is already inserted, see Powering On the Phone, page 19.
Inserting a SIM Card
Make sure that the power is Off and remove the battery. (1) Release the latch. (2) Lift battery out (as in left picture below) to reveal the SIM location.
Slide the SIM card holder (see right picture below) in the battery compartment to open the latch and lift the holder up. Insert the SIM card into the card holder with the notch on the card lined up as shown.
Make sure the SIM is fully inserted in the holder and gently press the card holder into place. Slide the SIM card holder to close the latch and replace the battery.
Removing a SIM Card
Remove the battery and slide the SIM card holder in the battery compartment to open the latch. Lift the holder up to easily pull the SIM card out of the card holder.
Gently press the card holder into place and slide the SIM card holder to close the latch. Replace the battery.
Ensure your wireless phone is turned On, the battery is properly charged, and that the network connection has adequate signal strength before attempting an emergency call. If your battery is empty (see page 17), you can not make or receive any calls, including emergency calls.
A message displays if any locks have been set or the wrong SIM has been inserted. Please follow any instructions given, e.g., ‘Return to Service Center’.
If the phone, or the SIM, is lost or stolen then you should contact your Service Provider immediately in order to prevent unauthorized use.
Do not bend or scratch your SIM card.
If the SIM card is not fully inserted when the battery is replaced, damage to the SIM card can occur.
