Taking apart your Cingular 8125 helps prepare the cell phone for long-term storage, shipping or resale. Accessing the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card and battery is easier when the phone is disassembled, which is useful if you are replacing either part. Installing a new SIM card is sometimes necessary when changing cell service provider. Your Cingular 8125 is easily disassembled by hand in just a few seconds.
Instructions
1. Hold the "Power" button on top of the phone for a few seconds. The phone turns off. Disconnect the charger cable from the bottom of the 8125, if necessary.
2. Turn the phone over so the back is facing upward. Slide the plastic battery cover panel beneath the camera lens downward toward the bottom of the phone with your thumb. The battery cover clicks off.
3. Pull the plastic ribbon or slide a fingernail down the left side of the battery and press it up and to the right. Lift the battery out of its cavity in the back of the phone. The SIM card is revealed once the battery is out.
4. Gently slide the SIM card toward the top of the phone; it comes out from beneath its holder. Set the SIM card aside with the battery cover and battery. Your Cingular 8125 is disassembled and ready for storage, transit or sale.
