  • How to Install a SIM Card into this tablet:

    If you have an active SIM card with StandUp Wireless, but not a phone, you can put your SIM Card in this tablet and allow that tablet to connect to cell towers instead of WiFi. Follow the instructions below to install your Active StandUp Wireless SIM Card into this tablet:
     

    1. First, if your Tablet is powered on, turn it off by holding down the power button for 5 seconds. Then tap power off on the screen.
    2. Find the SIM ejector tool in box with charging cord and power adapter.
    3. Locate the SIM Tray at the very top of the Tablet next to the charging port.
    4. To remove the SIM Tray, insert the SIM ejector tool into the hole in the SIM tray and gently press. The SIM Tray will pop out.
    5. Pop out the smallest size sim card or your Nano SIM from StandUp Wireless.
    6. Place your Nano SIM in the SIM Tray with the smaller slot (marked SIM ß). The cut corner of the SIM card should be on the left and the metal contact should be face down. The other slot is for an SD Card à.
    7. To reinstall the SIM Tray, place the tablet screen down, and gently slide the SIM Tray back into the SIM Tray slot until its closed. The SIM Tray can only fit in the tablet one way. Do not force it, make sure the SIM is seated properly and the ICCID on the sim card is visible while reinstalling the SIM Tray.
    8. Turn your Tablet on and it will be connected to the Mobile Network you may see the LTE/4G symbol at the top left corner of the screen.
