Setting up your device
To set up your BlackBerry 10 device, you need a nano SIM card. If you don't have a SIM card or don't have the right type of
SIM card, contact your service provider.
If you want more storage for pictures, videos, music, and documents, insert a media card (microSD card).
When you're ready, open the Setup app. This app helps you transfer content from your old device, and add your email,
BBM, instant messaging, and social networking accounts.
Insert the SIM card
Depending on your service provider and where you purchased your BlackBerry device, the SIM card might already be
inserted.
1.
Locate the SIM tray on the left side of the device.
2.
Push the tip of the tool provided in the box that your device came in, or a paper clip, into the hole to release the tray.

Before you begin
Make sure that you have the following:
• A nano SIM card. If you don't have a nano SIM card, contact your service provider.
CAUTION: Do not use a larger SIM card that was cut to a smaller size. Your BlackBerry device might not recognize the
SIM card, or the SIM card might get stuck because it is thicker than a nano SIM card.
• A paper clip or the tool provided in the box that your device came in.
Remove the SIM tray
The back cover of your device is not designed to be removed. The SIM card is placed in a tray that you pull out on the side
of your device.
1. Locate the SIM tray. It's on the upper-left side of your device.
2. Push the tip of the paper clip or tool into the hole next to the word SIM.
