When the tablet is face down, the SIM card tray is located on the
right side. The eject button is a small round opening on the left
side of the tray door.
To install a new SIM card:
1. Turn your tablet off and place it on a flat surface with the
screen facing down.
2. Locate the SIM card tray on the right side of your tablet, and
nd the hole on the tray door.
3. Insert the tool that comes with the tablet (or a paperclip) into
the hole on the tray, and push rmly but gently until the tray
pops out.
4. Remove the tray and place the micro SIM card inside it, with
the angled corner to the left.
5. Carefully reposition the tray in the slot and push it gently back
into the tablet.
To activate a SIM card:
1. Turn off Wi-Fi after completing the set-up instructions. Once
Wi-Fi is off, you’ll see a notication at the top of your screen.
2. Swipe down the notication shade and touch the notication.
3. Follow the activation instructions provided by your carrier.
IMPORTANT:Some carriers may take a minute or more to
activate your SIM card. In particular, AT&T may take a long
time to activate, in some cases requiring that you restart
your tablet. Other carriers may require you to enter and
then exit airplane mode, or to use an SMS app from the Play
store to manage your data.
