Setting up your tablet

Your tablet already has a NANO SIM card installed. MicroSD cards (capacity up to 256GB) may be purchased separately.

*Insert the SIM card/microSD card**

Power off the tablet before opening the SIM tray to remove and/or insert the NANO SIM or microSD card.

Step 1. If you need to replace the NANO SIM card and/or insert an optional microSD card, use the SIM tool provided in the box to open the SIM tray.

*A Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card is a “smartcard” that houses personal information, such as your mobile number and account information. The Verizon 4G LTE SIM
card is compatible with any Verizon 4G LTE certified device that uses the same size SIM card. The 4G LTE SIM card can move from one device to another, and your wireless
service will support the services that are compatible with your new device and service plan. To see which devices are compatible with the Verizon 4G LTE SIM card, visit

Step 2.
Remove the NANO SIM card/microSD card tray.
Step 3.
Position the SIM card and/or microSD the card in the tray correctly, align the cutout tab, and gently snap it into place. Be sure the edges are aligned.

Step 4.
Slide the tray slowly into the SIM tray slot. It only fits one direction. Do not force into place. Keep the SIM tool in a safe place for future use.
NOTE: The microSD card is sold separately.
