Setup Guide

1. Installing SIM Card(s) and Battery

The AGM M6 supports dual Micro SIM cards. To install, you will need to remove the back cover and the battery.

  2. Locate the inner protective cover and remove it.
  3. Remove the battery, which may have a protective tape on its contacts. Remove this tape before re-inserting.

  5. Insert a MicroSD memory card (up to 128GB, sold separately) into its slot if you wish to expand storage for multimedia.
  6. Re-insert the battery, ensuring the contacts align.
  7. Replace the inner protective cover and then the back cover, ensuring it is securely sealed for water and dust resistance.
