About this guide
In this user guide, we use the following symbols to indicate useful and important information:
This is a note. A note often gives additional information, such as what happens when you choose
to do or not to do a certain action. A note also provides information that may only be applicable
to some situations.
This is a tip. A tip gives you an alternative way to do a particular step or procedure, or lets you
know of an option that you may find helpful.
This indicates important information that you need in order to accomplish a certain task or to
get a feature to work properly.

about to prevent potential problems.
Some apps may not be available in all regions or with your mobile operator.

levels, use a belt-clip, holster, or similar accessory that maintains a minimum separation
distance of 1.0 cm between your body and the device, with either the front or back of the
device facing towards your body. Such accessories should not contain any metallic
components. Body-worn accessories that do not meet these specifications may not ensure
compliance with applicable SAR limits and their use should be avoided.

About the fingerprint scanner
You can quickly wake up and unlock the HTC 10 using your fingerprint. You can add up to 5
fingerprints.
When setting up and using the fingerprint scanner, follow these tips:
§ Make sure your finger and the fingerprint scanner are dry and clean.
§ Use the entire pad of your finger, including the sides and tip.
§ When recording your fingerprint, touch the scanner until it vibrates.
§ The fingerprint scanner has 360° readability—you can touch a recorded finger at any angle to
the scanner to turn on the screen or unlock the HTC 10.
You may not be able to set the fingerprint scanner to unlock HTC 10, if you've signed in to an
Exchange ActiveSync account that requires you to set a different screen lock option (such as
password). Check with your Exchange Server administrator if your Exchange ActiveSync
account supports the fingerprint scanner.
