Get started

Insert & activate a SIM card

Applies only for Nexus 7 with mobile data.

To use your tablet with 3G networks, you must rst insert & acti-

vate a SIM card. If no card is installed, the message “No SIM card”

appears on the tablet’s lock screen.

Only the Nexus 7 with mobile data can accept a SIM card. Wi-Fi

versions of the tablet can’t.

When the tablet is face down, the SIM card tray is located on the

right side. The eject button is a small round opening on the left

side of the tray door.

To install a new SIM card:

1. Turn your tablet off and place it on a flat surface with the

screen facing down.

2. Locate the SIM card tray on the right side of your tablet, and

nd the hole on the tray door.

3. Insert the tool that comes with the tablet (or a paperclip) into

the hole on the tray, and push rmly but gently until the tray

pops out.

4. Remove the tray and place the micro SIM card inside it, with

the angled corner to the left.

5. Carefully reposition the tray in the slot and push it gently back

into the tablet.

To activate a SIM card:

1. Turn off Wi-Fi after completing the set-up instructions. Once

Wi-Fi is off, you’ll see a notication at the top of your screen.

2. Swipe down the notication shade and touch the notication.

3. Follow the activation instructions provided by your carrier.

IMPORTANT:Some carriers may take a minute or more to

activate your SIM card. In particular, AT&T may take a long

time to activate, in some cases requiring that you restart

your tablet. Other carriers may require you to enter and

then exit airplane mode, or to use an SMS app from the Play

store to manage your data.
