Finding the SIM Card Tray
The first step is to locate the SIM card tray on your Lenovo Tab M10 FHD Plus. It’s usually located on the side or top of the tablet, often near the volume buttons or power button.
Here’s how to find it:
1. Examine the tablet’s exterior: Carefully inspect the sides and top of your tablet for a small, rectangular slot or a small pinhole.
2. Check the user manual: If you can’t find the SIM card tray, consult your tablet’s user manual. It should provide detailed instructions and illustrations.
3. Look for a small eject tool: Some Lenovo Tab M10 FHD Plus models come with a small eject tool, usually packaged with the tablet or in the box. This tool is specifically designed to help you eject the SIM card tray.
Ejecting the SIM Card Tray
Once you’ve located the SIM card tray, you’ll need to eject it to access the SIM card slot. Here’s how to do it:
1. Use the eject tool: If you have the eject tool, insert it into the pinhole next to the SIM card tray. Gently push the tool in, and the tray should pop out slightly.
2. Use a paperclip: If you don’t have the eject tool, you can use a straightened paperclip. Insert the paperclip into the pinhole and gently push it in until the tray pops out.
Important Note: Be careful not to apply excessive force when ejecting the tray. Doing so could damage the SIM card tray or your tablet.
Inserting the SIM Card
Now that the SIM card tray is ejected, you can insert your SIM card.
1. Check the SIM card size: Your Lenovo Tab M10 FHD Plus uses a **nano SIM card**. Ensure that you have the correct SIM card size.
2. Align the SIM card: The SIM card has a small notch or bevel on one side. Align this notch with the corresponding notch on the SIM card tray.
3. Insert the SIM card: Carefully slide the SIM card into the SIM card tray.
4. Push the tray back in: Once the SIM card is securely in place, gently push the tray back into the slot until it clicks into place.
Activating Mobile Data
After inserting the SIM card, you’ll need to activate mobile data on your Lenovo Tab M10 FHD Plus.

2. Find Network and Internet: Look for the “Network & internet” or “Connections” section in the Settings menu.
