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.
