Battery
HTC Acquire uses a rechargeable battery. How long the battery can last before it
needs recharging depends on how you use HTC Acquire. Among these are the
features and accessories you use (for example, leaving your Bluetooth® connection
always on uses more power). Long phone calls and frequent web browsing uses up a
lot of battery power. Also, consider your location: poor signal strength from your
mobile network and extreme temperature make the battery work harder.

around the battery.

Charging the battery
The battery is partially charged when shipped. Before you turn on and start using
HTC Acquire, it is recommended that you charge the battery. Some batteries perform
best after several full charge/discharge cycles.
§ The battery is already installed in HTC Acquire when shipped. A thin film is
inserted between the battery and the compartment. You need to remove this film
before you can charge the battery.
§ Only the power adapter and USB sync cable provided in the box must be used to
charge the battery.
§ Do not remove the battery from HTC Acquire while you are charging it using the
power or car adapter.

When you switch on HTC Acquire for the first time, you’ll be asked to set it up. You
can choose your language, how you want to connect to the Internet, and whether you
want your current location to be automatically detected. If you still have personal
contacts and calendar events stored on your old phone, you can easily transfer them
to HTC Acquire through Bluetooth as well.
