Make sure you insert the nano SIM card into the nano SIM card holder before inserting it into

the device. Also, don’t confuse the nano SIM card slot with the memory card slot.

To insert the nano SIM cards

If you insert a nano SIM card while the device is powered on, the device restarts automatically.

Detach the nano SIM card slot cover.

Using a fingernail or other similar object, drag out the nano SIM card holder (or

holders).

Place the nano SIM card (or cards) in the relevant nano SIM card holder, then

reinsert the holder.

Re-attach the cover.

Make sure you reinsert each nano SIM card holder in the correct orientation. When you drag a

holder out to insert a nano SIM card, do not turn the holder around.

To insert the memory card

Remove the memory card slot cover.

Insert the memory card into the memory card slot, then re-attach the memory

card slot cover.
