Getting Started
What is a SIM card?
Every mobile telephone requires an SIM
card (Subscriber Identity Module);
without the SIM card, you cannot make
phone calls. The SIM card is a
microprocessor that saves your data and
contacts. Therefore, handle the card with
care and exercise caution when inserting
or removing the card. SIM card must be
kept out of reach of small children.
Inserting the SIM card and Micro
SD card
1. The telephone must be switched off
and disconnected from the charger.
2. Remove the battery cover on the back
by pushing it off on the bottom left
side using your thumbnail. If there is
a battery in the device, remove it
please.

3. You will see 2 card holders: for the
SIM card on the bottom right and for
Micro SD card on the bottom right.
Slide the SIM card carefully into the
SIM card slot. Make sure that the
gold-colored contacts on the card are
facing downwards and the tapered
corner is facing left.
