Hardware setup
1. Use a sheet of paper or cardboard over the area where you intend to work.
2. Use isopropyl alcohol and a cotton-tipped applicator to gently clean the SIM contacts. Using
isopropyl alcohol requires a well vented environment. Demineralized water can also be used as
an alternative.
3. Once the surface is clean and dry, apply a small amount of dielectric grease in a thin layer over
the contacts. Use a new cotton-tipped applicator to work the grease smoothy over the
contacts. Apply gentle pressure.
4. When the dielectric grease has been applied, insert the SIM into the SIM slot as described
above.
SIM removal
The IX10 has a PUSH-PUSH SIM connector. To insert, push each SIM in until it clicks, and repeat for
removal. When you push to eject, the SIM ejects back out about 1/8 inch.
