Your phone supports both 1.8 V and V SIM cards. Some legacy SIM cards may not function with your phone. You should consult with your mobile operator for a replacement SIM card. There may be fees for this service. Inserting the SIM card 1. Take the bottom cover off. See “Removing the bottom cover.” 2. With the SIM card’s gold contacts facing down and its cut-off corner facing out, insert the SIM card halfway into the SIM card slot. Removing the SIM card Make sure to switch off your phone before removing your SIM card. Otherwise, the phone will automatically turn off when you remove the SIM card. 1. Take the bottom cover off.

Removing the storage card while the phone is on When you need to remove the storage card while the phone is on, unmount the storage card first to prevent corrupting or damaging the files in the storage card. 1. On the Home screen, press MENU, and then tap Settings. 2. Scroll down the screen, and then tap SD & phone storage. 3. Tap Unmount SD card. 4. Remove the storage card by following the steps in “Removing the storage card.” 1 Basics Battery Your phone uses a rechargeable battery. Please use only original batteries and accessories that came with your phone or replacements that we recommend. How long the battery can last before it needs recharging depends on how you use your phone. Among these are the phone features and accessories you use (for example, leaving your Bluetooth connection always on uses more power). Long phone calls and frequent web browsing use up much battery. Also, consider your location: poor signal strength from your mobile network and extreme temperature make the battery work harder. Removing the battery Right after you take your phone out from the box for the first time, don’t forget to remove the thin film wrapped around the battery that’s inside your phone.
