How do I insert a 3G SIM Card?

Inserting SIM Card

SIM card slot locations vary by device type. 

P5 (Nano) 

On the P5, the SIM card slot is on the right hand side, by the power button.  You will need a sharp, pointed object (ie pin/tack).

1.  Insert the pin in the hole and pull out gently.

2.  Insert the SIM card gently with the gold contacts facing up and the carrier info on the bottom.  You should hear a click once the card has been pushed in all the way.

P61 (Micro)

On the P61, the SIM card is located inside the printer hatch.

1. Open the printer hatch door and lay the device on its side so that the left side of the second screen is flush with a level surface (see image below).

2. Some models of Poynt P61s will have two card slots - one for an SD card and one for your SIM card. The SIM card goes into the longer slot. The correct slot is also indicated below (left).

Some other models P61s just have a SIM card slot (right). This one has a push-in-bounce-out mechanism so you may not need tweezers to remove the SIM card.

3. When inserting the SIM Card, make sure the notch on the SIM card is oriented so the upper right is inserted first with the gold contacts face up.

Make sure you are careful not to damage the connector pins in the slot. Gently push the SIM Card all the way into the slot.

P61B (Nano SIM)

The SIM card slot is located on the right hand side of the device.  You will need a sharp pointed object (ie pin/tack).  

1.  Insert the pin in the hole and pull out gently.

2.  Insert the SIM Card, make sure the notch on the SIM card is oriented so the upper right is inserted first with the gold contacts face up.
