Activating Your Phone
When you subscribe to a cellular network, you are
provided with a plug-in SIM card loaded with your
subscription details, such as your PIN, any optional
services available, and many others.
Installing the SIM Card
Important! The plug-in SIM card and its contacts can be easily damaged
by scratching or bending, so be careful when handling, inserting, or
removing the card.
Keep all SIM cards out of reach of small children.
1. If necessary, switch off the phone by holding down the
key until the power-off image displays.
2. If necessary, disconnect the Travel Adapter from the
phone. See “Charging a Battery” on page 8 for more
information.
3. To remove the battery cover, press the ridged area on the
battery cover using your thumb (1) and gently slide it in
the direction of the arrow (2). Remove the battery cover.
4. Grasp the top of the battery with your finger and lift up in
the direction of the arrow. Remove the battery.
