Your Q Display doesn’t have a factory-installed SIM card, so the mobile application notifies you that “No device SIM → Get a free SIM card”. Order a valid SIM card for free via the link.
Then follow the installation instructions:
Make sure the Q Display is turned off before installation.
Locate the SIM card slot at the back of your Q Display.
Remove the SIM card from the plastic holder in the second smallest size (Micro SIM)
Install the SIM card in the SIM card slot
→ Make sure the SIM card clicks into place.
→ Pay attention to the orientation of the SIM card; the correct orientation is shown below the SIM card slot.
Note!!! Installing the SIM card in the wrong way might break the card slot.
With the SIM card installed, check that the Q Display recognizes the SIM.
→ Turn on the Q Display and go to: Settings > System settings > System info > SIM IMSI
→ If you see a series of digits on the IMSI row, your Q Display recognizes the SIM, and the installation was a success.
