2. Insert the tip of the SIM eject tool (or a small bent paperclip) into the small hole

next to the SIM card tray slot.

3. Push the tip all the way into the hole until the SIM card tray ejects.

4. Pull the SIM card tray out, and place the SIM card (contacts facing down) into

the tray.

5. Insert the SIM card tray back into the slot.

Removing the SIM card

Make sure to switch off HTC Butterfly before removing your SIM card.

1. Hold the phone face up and the top panel facing you.

2. Insert the tip of the SIM eject tool (or a small bent paperclip) into the small hole

next to the SIM card tray slot.
