Removing the bottom cover

Remove the bottom cover to access the SIM card slot and storage card slot.

1. With the phone turned off, hold your phone securely with the front facing down.

Replacing the bottom cover

2. Push the bottom cover towards the phone. You’ll hear a click when the bottom

cover is locked in place.

Your phone’s antenna is placed underneath the bottom cover. We recommend that

you secure the bottom cover to the phone’s back panel to get the best radio

reception for your phone.

8 Basics

SIM card

The SIM card contains your phone number, service details, and phonebook/message

memory. Your phone supports both 1.8 V and 3 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.

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.

2. With your thumb, slide the SIM card out from the SIM card slot.

9 Basics

Storage card

Use the microSD card to store your photos, videos, and music. You’ll find the microSD

card already inserted in your phone.

Inserting the storage card

1. Take the bottom cover off.

2. Insert the microSD card into the storage card slot with its gold contacts facing

down and push it until it clicks into place.

Removing the storage card

If your phone is on you must first "unmount" the storage card before removing it to

prevent corrupting or damaging the files in the storage card.

1. Take the bottom cover off.

2. Push the storage card in to eject it from its slot.

3. Slide the storage card out from its slot.

Unmounting the storage card

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.

2. Scroll down the screen, and then tap SD & phone storage.
