Slide cover towards bottom of phone and remove.
If fitted, remove the battery by lifting the tab at the bot-
tom.
Insert SIM card through
the slot in the side of case,
positioning cut-off corner
as shown.
To replace the battery and
cover, reverse the previous
steps, ensuring the bottom
of cover is engaged before
swinging the top into place.
Charging
Insert the supplied charger into an easily accessible
mains socket of the correct rating and, having removed
the socket cap, plug in with the pins face up.
While it charges, the battery indicator will animate – if it
doesn’t, then see What if...? on p 28.
Be sure to unplug the charger from the mains when
you’re finished.
