such as your PIN, available optional services, and many
others features.
Important! The plug-in SIM card information 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.
 Carefully slide the SIM card into the SIM card socket (1)
until the card locks into place (2). The illustration
shows the screen facing up.
Caution! Make sure that the SIM card’s gold contacts face
downward and that the notched corner of the card
