Your Surface comes with a SIM ejector tool. To find it, look for an instruction card in the box your Surface was packaged in. You’ll need this tool to place a SIM card in your Surface.
1.Do one of the following on your Surface Duo, depending on if the Surface Duo Bumper is on or off:
•If the bumper is off (recommended), locate the SIM card tray near the bottom-right corner.
•If the bumper is attached, near the bottom-right corner, take the SIM ejector tool and use it to lift the small silicone tab up.
2.Insert the SIM ejector tool into the small hole and gently press in to eject the SIM card tray.
3.Remove the SIM card tray from the slot. Keep it face up.
Note: If the bumper is attached, the SIM card tray may not come all the way out. If this occurs, slightly insert the SIM ejector tool back into the hole for the SIM card tray, and then gently angle the tool and pull the tray all the way out. You might be able to grab the longer end of the SIM tray with your fingernails to remove it.
1.With your Surface Duo 2 closed and the triple lens rear-facing camera facing up, insert the SIM ejector tool into the small hole on the bottom of the left screen, and then gently press in to eject the SIM card tray.
2.Remove the SIM card tray from the slot. Keep it face up.
3.Place the nano SIM card face up in the SIM card tray. Make sure the small notch in the corner of the SIM card matches the one in the SIM card tray so that it fits properly. The words or logo on the SIM card should be facing up.
4.Slide the SIM card tray back into the SIM card slot. The small hole in the SIM card tray should be closest to the bottom-left corner—not towards the middle of your Surface Duo 2. Make sure the SIM card tray slides in smoothly. Don't force it.
After you insert your SIM card, you'll be ready to set up your mobile data connection on your Surface Duo.
