The Nexus 7 tablet is certified by ASUS under the name ASUS Pad K009. 1 SIM Card Tips Warning: The SIM card ejection tool and SIM card tray included with Nexus 7 are very small objects that represent a potential choking hazard. Please keep them out of reach of small children. To install and activate a new SIM card:
1. Turn your tablet off and place it on a flat surface with the screen facing up. 2. Tilt up the right side slightly and locate the SIM card tray near the bottom, and the small hole in the tray door. 3. Insert the SIM ejection tool that comes with the tablet (or a paperclip) into the hole in the tray door, and push firmly but gently until the tray pops out. 4. Remove the tray and place the micro SIM card inside it, with the contacts facing up and the angled corner fitting snugly into the angled corner of the tray. 5. Reposition the tray in the slot and push it gently back into the tablet. 6. On your tablet, open the Settings app and turn off Wi-Fi. Youll soon see a notification at the top of your screen. It may take a minute or more to arrive. 7. Swipe down from the top of your tablet and touch the notification. 8. Follow the activation instructions provided by your carrier. 2 Safe Temperature Use Nexus 7 only in environments with ambient temperatures between 0C (32F) and 35C
(95F). Airplane precautions Check with airline personnel if you want to use your Nexus 7 on board an aircraft. Most airlines have restrictions for using electronic devices. Most airlines allow electronic use only between and not during takeoffs and landings. There are three main types of airport security devices: X-ray machines (used on items placed on conveyor belts), magnetic detectors (used on people walking through security checks), and magnetic wands (hand-held devices used on people or individual items). You can send your Nexus 7 through airport X-ray machines. But do not send your Nexus 7 through airport magnetic detectors or expose it to magnetic wands. 3 FCC RF Exposure Requirements Nexus7 K009 The highest SAR value for the device as reported to the FCC is 1.45 W/kg when placed next to the body.

Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into the tablet, immerse or expose to water or other liquids, or expose to fire, explosion, or other hazard. Use only an authorized service provider to replace the battery. Avoid dropping the tablet. If you do drop it and suspect that its been dropped, take it to a service center for inspection. Improper use may result in a fire, explosion, or other hazard. The USB charging unit varies by country or region. Use only the USB charging unit that comes with your Nexus 7. Using a different charging unit may damage your tablet. To avoid risk of injury or damaging your device, connect the charging unit and USB cable before charging your tablet. The input voltage range between the wall outlet and this charging unit is AC 100V240V, and the charging units output voltage is DC 5.2V, 1.35A. Your Nexus 7 can be charged via the USB port on a computer only when Nexus 7 is in sleep mode (screen off) or turned off. Charging through the USB port will take longer than charging with the USB charging unit. Make sure the wall socket where you plug in the charging unit is easily accessible and near your Nexus 7. DO NOT throw Nexus 7 in municipal waste. This product has been designed to enable proper reuse of parts and recycling. The symbol of the crossed out wheeled bin indicates that the product (electrical, electronic equipment and mercury-containing button cell battery) should not be placed in municipal waste. Check local regulations for disposal of electronic products. 13
