The back of the phone can be removed to reveal the battery compartment and SIM card tray.
With the LCD display facing down, locate the small tab on the left hand edge of the back of the phone, towards the bottom. Lift up on the tab to release the cover and place down next to you.
The battery compartment is in the lower half, and along the top edge is a small half-moon shaped cut out. Place you finger nail into the cut-out to lift out the battery.
Inserting the battery
Replace the battery so that the metal contacts on the short edge meet the metal contacts within the battery compartment. If the phone is the correct way around, these should be in the bottom right hand corner. Slide the battery in at an angle and place into the battery compartment.
Installing the SIM card
Before inserting the SIM card make sure that the phone is switched off. The charger should be disconnected. To install the SIM card, you will need to remove the battery.
The SIM card tray is located in the bottom right hand corner. Slide your SIM card in from the top, with the metal contacts facing down and the corner with the cut-out in the top left position.
Installing a Micro SD card
Just above the SIM card tray and to the left is the Micro SD card tray. To open the tray, slide it gently to the right to release and lift upwards. Insert the Micro SD card so that the metal contacts are facing down. Close the tray and slide gently to the left to clip into place.
While using the memory card exercise care, in particular while inserting and removing it. Some memory cards, before the first use, need to be formatted with the use of a computer.
Regularly make copies of the information collected on the cards used in other devices, if you use this SD card type. Incorrect using or other factors may cause the damage or the loss of the card content.

433MHz band, which is used by SOS bracelet, is also used by other devices for example by alarm remote controls, remote controls for garage doors, wireless doorbells, sockets with remote controls, immobilizers, alarm detectors and many others.
Because of radio interference, the SOS bracelet may not work in relevant time.
