Assembly

Your device only supports nano SIM cards. The nano SIM card and the memory card

have separate slots in the same device. Make sure you don’t confuse the two.

To prevent data loss, make sure you turn off your device before you drag out the holder to

remove the nano SIM card (or cards) or memory card from the device.

To insert the nano SIM card and the memory card

Do not cut your SIM card, for example using a blade or scissors, as this may damage your

device.
