depending on which Country you are in at the time) until a valid one is inserted. Always disconnect the
charger and other accessories from your handset before inserting or removing your SIM card. Slide the
SIM card into the SIM card holder. Make sure that the SIM card is properly inserted and the gold contact
area on the card is facing downwards. To remove the SIM card, press down lightly and pull it gently
outwards.
