With the chamfered corner (sloping edge) of the SIM facing towards the slot, gently push the SIM into the SIM 1 or SIM 2 slot until the SIM clicks into position.

The SIM may get damaged if you attempt to insert it into the slot by the wrong end.

SIM 1 is the primary SIM slot by default. If you intend to use only one SIM, it is recommended to use SIM 1 as the primary slot. If you want to use SIM 2 as the primary slot, you must manually configure SIM 2 as the primary SIM slot using the Web Interface.
