11 Basics
Battery
Your phone uses a rechargeable battery. Please use only original batteries and
accessories that came with your phone or replacements that we recommend.
How long the battery can last before it needs recharging depends on how you use
your phone. Among these are the phone 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.
Removing the battery
Right after you take your phone out from the box for the first time, don’t forget to
remove the thin film wrapped around the battery that’s inside your phone.
1. Take the back cover off.
2. Lift the battery from the groove at the top of the battery compartment.
3. Pull the battery out of the battery compartment.
Inserting the battery
1. Take the back cover off.
2. Insert the battery (with its exposed copper contacts first) into the battery
compartment.
3. Replace the back cover.
12 Basics
Charging the battery
The battery is partially charged when shipped. Before you turn on and start using your
phone, it is recommended that you charge the battery. Some batteries perform best
after several full charge/discharge cycles.
§ When the phone is shipped, the battery is already installed on your phone. 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 with your phone must be
used to charge the battery.
§ Do not remove the battery from the phone while you are charging it using the
power or car adapter.
1. Plug the power adapter into the USB connector of your phone.
2. Plug in the power adapter to an electrical outlet to start charging the battery.
As the battery is being charged, the notification LED shows a solid red light. The light
turns to solid green when the phone is fully charged.
When you charge the battery while the phone is on, the charging battery icon is
displayed in your phone’s status bar. After the battery has been fully charged, the
charging battery icon turns to a full battery icon .
As a safety precaution, the battery stops charging when it overheats.

Facebook for HTC Sense
If you signed in to your Facebook account when you turned on and set up your phone
for the first time, that means your Facebook account is linked to Facebook for HTC
Sense on your phone.
With Facebook for HTC Sense, you can:
§ See all your Facebook contacts and their instant status updates in People.
When you tap a contact on the All tab, slide to
the Updates and events tab to see updates such
as posted status messages, uploads, and profile
changes.
When there is a notification of the contact’s
birthday, you can tap the notification to call the
contact directly or send a message greeting.
§ See Facebook photos right on the Gallery app.
You can also upload one or more photos from
your storage card to Facebook, then tag and add
captions that go with it.
When you’re viewing the albums of a Facebook
friend, you can also share a link to a particular
album, or comment on the album photos.
86 Social
§ Check your friends’ Facebook status updates in Friend Stream.
§ Add your Facebook events and your friends’ birthdays to the Calendar app.
What’s the difference between Facebook app and Facebook for HTC Sense?
§ Facebook for HTC Sense is not a standalone app. It is integrated in People,
Friend Stream, Gallery, and Calendar to give you up-to-date information about
your Facebook contacts (their status updates, shared links, and photos) in these
apps.
§ The Facebook app is a standalone app. Use this app to do most of the things
that you would do when you’re using your computer’s web browser to access
your Facebook account, such as adding a friend and sending Facebook
messages.
§ The two do not share the same login credentials. Signing in to Facebook for
HTC Sense does not sign you in to the Facebook app and vice versa. If you want
to use the same Facebook account for both, you’ll have to sign in to both using
the same login credentials.
If you have more than one Facebook account, you may sign in to the Facebook app
using your second account, since the Facebook app does not share the same login
credentials as Facebook for HTC Sense.
Facebook app
The Facebook app on your phone lets you keep up and stay close with your friends in
Facebook. It offers most of the features that you are familiar with when using
Facebook on your computer.
With the Facebook app, you can:
§ Share your thoughts and check other people’s status updates.
§ View your friends list and write on someone’s wall.
