It shows a number and a plus sign, such as 0 +.
A screen named Sources opens.
-
Choose Add source, then Add a new source.
-
In Title, type where you know this from.
For example, My birth certificate or Mum told me. Only this box is needed.

Choose Save source.
-
Choose Done, then Done again.
The number on the chip goes up by one.
