Removal of the Removable SIM Module (RSM) and the SIM Cards of the WGL-QAR

CAUTION: OBEY THESE PRECAUTIONS TO PREVENT ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) DAMAGE TO THE COMPONENTS:

STAY ON A CONDUCTIVE SURFACE THAT IS ELECTRICALLY GROUNDED.
USE A CONDUCTIVE WRIST-STRAP THAT IS ELECTRICALLY GROUNDED. (CONNECTED TO A BONDING-POINT NEAR THE WORK AREA).
BEFORE YOU USE THE TOOLS, MOMENTARILY HOLD THEM AGAINST AN ELECTRICAL GROUND TO RELEASE STATIC ELECTRICITY.

CAUTION: BEFORE YOU REMOVE OR INSTALL THE REMOVABLE SIM MODULE, MAKE SURE THAT THE WGL QAR IS DE-ENERGIZED. IF YOU DO NOT OBEY THIS INSTRUCTION, DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT CAN OCCUR.

CAUTION: INSTALL THE SIM CARDS VERY CAREFULLY AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU DO NOT CAUSE DAMAGE TO THEIR METAL CONTACTS. THIS WILL HELP TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO OTHER COMPONENTS.
