Inserting a SIM Card

Inserting a SIM Card

Before you can connect to a mobile broadband network, you must have an active account with a cellular network provider, and a SIM card in your tablet for mobile broadband access. This SIM card works like the SIM card in your cell phone that connects you to a network provider.
The SIM card holder accommodates two Nano SIM (4FF) cards, for use with the mobile broadband option. If inserting only one SIM card, place it in the holder labeled SIM1. If inserting two SIM cards, put the card for the primary carrier in SIM1 and the card for the secondary carrier in SIM2.
  1. Turn off the tablet.
  2. If you have already put the battery in the tablet, remove it. The SIM card(s) fit into a tray in the battery bay.
  3. Find and gently remove the SIM holder tray so the slot is empty.
  4. Place the SIM card into the holder so that it is close to flush with the holder. Make sure that the SIM contacts (gold) are facing down and the notched corner is on the right side as shown in this drawing and in the graphic inside the battery bay of the tablet.
  5. Carefully align the SIM holder with the opening of the SIM holder connector. Gently slide the SIM holder tray into the connector until it stops.
  6. Install the battery in the tablet. See Replacing the Battery.
