Galaxy S5: insert SIM card - how it works

If you have bought a Samsung Galaxy S5, the first thing you should do is insert your SIM card. We'll show you how it's done.

Insert the SIM card in the Samsung Galaxy S5

1. First switch off the Galaxy S5 completely, as you should not remove the battery while it is in operation.
2. On the top left you will find a small slot between the front and back. Here you can pull off the back of the S5 with your fingernail.
3. If you remove the battery, you will find two small shafts below the camera. The top one is for an SD card, the bottom one is for your SIM card.
4. Insert the SIM card into the slot with the contacts facing down and the corner cut off at the top left.
5. Reassemble and restart the Galaxy S5. The SIM card is now ready for use.
