The first thing you need to do is insert the SIM card and, if you're using one, a memory card.

2.
Take the battery out if it's in place.
3.
Slide the SIM into the left-hand slot (cut-corner first, with the gold contacts facing down).

If you're adding a microSD card, slide it in narrow-end first, with the gold contacts facing down.
5.
