4. Setup

4.1. SIM Card and Battery Installation

To begin using your USHINING 4G Senior Cell Phone, you will need to install a SIM card and the battery.

1. Remove Back Cover: Gently pry open the back cover of the phone.
2. Insert SIM Card: Locate the SIM card slot(s). This phone supports standard SIM cards. If you have an activated SIM card, insert it directly. If you are activating a new SIM card, it is recommended to activate it using an old phone or a smartphone first, then insert it into the USHINING phone. This is because some carriers may not recognize the IMEI of basic phones for initial activation.
