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 so on.

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:

Slide the battery lock towards the top of the phone.

Lift the battery away, as shown.
