SIM & MicroSD Card Installation
The SIM Card slot is located under the battery.
Before installing the card, make sure the phone is
switched off, and it is not connected to an AC adapter
or any other accessories.
Place the phone face down, and slide down the
battery cover to remove it.

17
Carefully insert the SIM Card into the slot, and
close the slot with the metal contacts facing
downwards. Make sure the notch on the Card is
located on the right down corner.

18
There is a MicroSD memory card next to the SIM
Card slot. Move the pin towards OPEN (to the side
closer to the edge), and then lift it up. Insert the
microSD Card so that the microSD Card contacts will
touch the phone contacts, close the pin towards
LOCK.

19

inserting and removing the card. Some memory cards
must be formatted on a computer before the first use.
Regularly make backup copies of data stored on cards
used in other devices, if you use SD Cards! Misuse or

20
other factors might damage the card or make the
card lose its content.
Insert the battery so that the contacts +/- will go
to the front of the phone.

prior to inserting or removing the SIM Card.
