Nano-SIM
Important: This device is designed to be used with a nano-SIM card only. Use of incompatible SIM cards may damage the card or the device, and may corrupt data stored on the card.
Note: Switch the device off and disconnect the charger and any other device before removing any covers. Avoid touching electronic components while changing any covers. Always store and use the device with any covers attached.
Open the back cover
- Put your fingernail in the small slot at the top of the phone and lift it slightly.
- Put your fingernail in the space created on the side, and lift to remove the cover.
- If the battery is in the phone, lift it out.
Insert the SIM cards
- Slide the SIM card in the SIM card slot with the contact area face down.
- If you have a second SIM, slide it in the SIM2 slot. Both SIM cards are available at the same time when the device is not being used, but while one SIM card is active, for example, making a call, the other may be unavailable.
Tip: To find out if your phone can use 2 SIM cards, see the label on the sales box. If there are 2 IMEI codes on the label, you have a dual-SIM phone.
Insert the memory card
- Slide the memory card holder down and open it up.
- Place the memory card in the slot.
- Close down the holder and slide it up to lock it in place.
- Put back the battery.
- Put back the back cover.
Use only compatible memory cards approved for use with this device. Incompatible cards may damage the card and the device and corrupt data stored on the card.
Important: Do not remove the memory card when an app is using it. Doing so may damage the memory card and the device and corrupt data stored on the card.
Tip: Use a fast, up to 32 GB microSD memory card from a well-known manufacturer.
Note: Pre-installed system software and apps use a significant part of memory space.
