Important RF Notice
This device was tested for compliance with the applicable FCC and Industry
Canada specific absorption rate (SAR) limits for radio frequency (RF)

levels remain at or below the tested levels, use a belt-clip, holster, or similar
accessory that maintains a minimum separation distance of 1.0 cm between
your body and the device, with either the front or back of the device facing
towards your body. Such accessories should not contain any metallic
components. Body-worn accessories that do not meet these specifications
may not ensure compliance with applicable SAR limits and their use should be
avoided.

microSIM card
HTC One mini uses a microSIM card. The microSIM card contains your phone number,
service details, and memory for storing phonebook contacts and/or text messages.
Inserting the SIM card
Use a standard microSIM only. Inserting other types (such as nanoSIM with an
adapter or a modified SIM) may cause the card to not fit properly or damage the
card slot.
1. Hold the phone face up.
2. Insert the tip of the SIM eject tool (or a small bent paperclip) into the small hole
next to the SIM card tray slot.
3. Push the tip all the way into the hole until the SIM card tray ejects.
4. Pull the SIM card tray out, and place the SIM card (contacts facing down) into
the tray.
5. Insert the SIM card tray back into the slot.
