2. Insert your activated SIM card into the SIM slot, which is on the left side of the Connect IT. The
notched end of SIM card should be inserted first, with the gold metal contacts facing down. You
will hear a click once the SIM is completely inserted.

forefinger, tighten until secure. Do not tighten the antenna by holding any part of the plastic
antenna housing.
