Sony SGP561 Setting Up Your Tablet

Setting Up Your Tablet

A protective plastic sheet is attached to the screen. You should peel off this sheet before

using the touchscreen. Otherwise, the touchscreen might not function properly.

Inserting the SIM Card

1Open the SIM card slot cover.

2Using a fingernail, pull out the SIM card holder.

3Carefully insert the 4G LTE SIM card into the SIM card holder with the Verizon

logo facing up.

4Push the SIM card holder back into place.

5Close the SIM card slot cover.

Inserting the SIM card into the device without the SIM card holder could damage your SIM

card or your device, and Sony Mobile does not warrant and will not be responsible for any

damage caused by such action.

To ensure the water resistance of your device, the cover for the SIM card slot must be firmly

closed.
