YOUR SIM CARD
Inside your Omnipoint handset, there’s an ingenious and
intelligent component: the SIM (Subscriber Identity Module)
Card.
Your SIM Card is what makes your handset work. It has a computer
chip that can store digital information, including your personal
Phone Book, text messages, and the information your handset needs
to operate.
(Note: keep all SIM Cards out of reach of small children.)
The SIM Card is pre-loaded in the card holder on the back of your
handset, beneath the rechargeable battery. If your SIM Card is
missing from your handset or has been inserted improperly, you’ll
see the message “Insert Card” on your display. The handset will not
function when the SIM Card is removed (except for 911 calls).
In most cases, you never have to touch your SIM Card. But you can
remove your SIM Card if necessary – for example, to use in another
handset or to loan your handset to someone for use with their card.
Here’s how:
> First, switch your handset off by pressing the
G key and
holding it until you hear a click.
> Remove your battery (see p. 19).
> Release the SIM Card holder by sliding it toward the top of the
handset.
> Flip up the SIM Card holder.
> Slide the SIM Card out of its holder.

REMOVING & REPLACING
BATTERIES
Your battery is designed to be easy to remove in case you need
to change batteries or access your SIM Card.
To remove a battery:
> First, turn the handset off by pressing the
G key and
holding it until you hear a click.
> Push the battery tab up slightly from the bottom of the
handset.
> Lift the battery away from the handset.
To replace a battery:
> Place the battery top against the back top of the handset.
> Slide the battery gently upward until it locks into place.
> Lock the battery into position by pressing it against the
handset.
