Section 1: Getting Started This section explains how to start using your phone by first configuring your hardware, activating your service, and then setting up your voice mail. Setting Up Your Phone Prior to use it is necessary to install both the battery and SIM into their corresponding internal compartments. The microSD™ card slot is also located in this same internal area. 1. Remove the back cover by inserting a fingernail into the slot on the top of your phone (1). 2. Lift the cover up (2) and away from the phone (3). Caution! Do not bend or twist the back cover excessively. Doing so may damage the cover. Getting Started 6
