    Step 4. SIM Card Installation & Setup IMPORTANT! If your Phonecell did NOT come with a pre-installed mini-SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card, OR if you’re experiencing SIM card-related problems, follow the steps below. Otherwise, continue with STEP 5. How to Install the Mini-SIM Card The GSM module within the Phonecell requires a Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) for normal operation.
  • Page 22: Sim Pin Programming

    SIM PIN Programming The mini-SIM may require entry of a Personal Identification Number (PIN). The PIN is a four- to eight-digit number provided with the SIM card. If the service provider has set the SIM to require PIN entry, the Phonecell will request the PIN each time it is powered ON or the SIM is removed and replaced.
  • Page 23 SIM PIN Programming - continued IMPORTANT! You must enter the PIN correctly. After three attempts to load an incorrect PIN, the SIM will be blocked and the SIM card will have to be unblocked. If you do not have the unblocking key, the SIM will have to be returned to the service provider for reactivation.
  • Page 24 SIM PIN Programming - continued How to Set a New PIN in the SIM REMINDER: Automatic PIN entry must be disabled - before and while the SIM PIN is changed - until programming of the new PIN and Auto PIN Entry (see previous page) is completed.
