Important information

This device was tested for typical body-worn operations per the FCC's radio

frequency (RF) safety requirements. To comply with these RF exposure

requirements, use a belt-clip, holster, or similar accessory with this device to

maintain a minimum separation distance of 1.0 cm between the user’s body

and the handset, with the device oriented with either the front or back of the

device facing towards the user’s body. Such accessories should not contain

any metallic components. Body-worn accessories that do not meet these

requirements may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines

and their use should be avoided.

SIM card

HTC First uses a microSIM card. The microSIM card contains your phone number,

service details, and memory for storing phonebook contacts and/or text messages.

Inserting the SIM card

1. Hold the phone face up.

2. Insert the tip of the SIM eject tool 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.

Use a standard microSIM only. Inserting other types (such as nanoSIM with an

adapter or a modified SIM) may cause the card to not fit properly or damage the

card slot.

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

Removing the SIM card

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

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 remove the SIM card.

When removing the SIM card, make sure that you insert the empty SIM card tray back

into the slot.
