Charging the battery

Before you turn on and start using HTC Phone, it is recommended that you charge the battery.

§ If the battery has been discharged for several days, you may need to charge HTC Phone for several minutes before powering it on.

This is normal.

§ To conserve energy, unplug the power adapter from the electrical outlet after you finish charging.

§ Make sure your finger and the fingerprint scanner are dry and clean.
