A SIM card contains your phone number, subscriber details, phonebook, and additional phone memory. Your P525 comes with a rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery. New batteries come partially discharged and should be fully charged before using them. They generally do not reach their rated capacity until they have been charged and discharged at least four (4) times. We recommended that new batteries be charged overnight even though they may indicate that the charge is complete after a few hours. Sometimes charging may stop during the initial charge and it is necessary to remove the battery for approximately fifteen (15) minutes and then put it back on charge. CAUTION: Use only an ASUS qualified battery. To install a SIM card and battery: 1. Remove the battery compartment over. NOTE: If the device is on, it automatically turns off after you open the battery compartment. 1 2. Remove the battery. 3. Insert the SIM card with its gold contacts facing down and the notched corner oriented to the upper left corner of the slot as shown. 4.
