Setting up your device
Step one: Insert your Cingular SIM 
card
Your SIM card contains important information 
about your wireless service. Your SIM card might 
be inserted already if you did not obtain your 
BlackBerry device from a retail store. 
Warning: Turn off your device before you insert or 
remove the SIM card. Do not scratch, bend, or 
expose the SIM card to static electricity or wet 
conditions.
1. Press the battery cover release button.
2. Slide off the battery cover.
3. If the battery is inserted, remove it.
4. Hold the SIM card with the metal contacts 
facing down so that the notched corner of 
the card is on the bottom right.
5. Slide the SIM card into the holder so that it 
lies flat below the metal guide.
6. Continue to slide the SIM card into the 
holder until it stops. One end of the SIM card 
should be slightly hidden below the plastic 
casing on your device.
Note: To remove the SIM card, press down lightly 
on the SIM card and slide it out of the holder.
Step two: Insert the battery
Warning: Use only the battery that Research In 
MotionĀ® specifies for use with your BlackBerry 
device. Using any other battery might invalidate 
any warranty provided with your device and might 
present a risk of fire or explosion. See the 
BlackBerry Safety and Product Information
booklet that accompanied your device for more 
information about using the battery safely. 
1. Insert the battery so that the connectors on 
the battery align with the connectors in the 
battery compartment on your device.
