Before you do anything else, please read this

Charge the battery

The battery in your phone hasn’t been charged yet. While your phone 
is charging, it’s important that you do not remove the battery pack. 
Doing so can damage your phone. Also, please don’t try to take your 
phone apart. (If you do, it may invalidate your warranty.)

Know about privacy laws

Some countries have strict laws about how and when you can record 
phone conversations. For example, you may need to tell the person 
you’re speaking to before you start recording. It’s a good idea to find 
out what the laws are where you live before you use your phone’s 
recording feature.

And finally, a few important words from our legal team
(LIMITATION OF DAMAGES)

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event 
shall HTC or its affiliates be liable to you, any user, or third party for 
any indirect, special, consequential, incidental or punitive damages 
of any kind, arising in contract, tort, or otherwise, including, but not 
limited to, injury, loss of revenue, loss of goodwill, loss of business 
opportunity, loss of data, and/or loss of profits, regardless of the 
foreseeability thereof or whether HTC or its affiliates have been 
advised of the possibility of such damages. And in no event shall the 
total liability of HTC or its affiliates exceed the amount received from 
you, regardless of the legal theory under which the cause of action is 
brought. The foregoing does not affect any statutory rights which may 
not be disclaimed.

Please also read the Product Safety & Warranty Statement that is 
included in the box for information on the proper usage of your phone 
to prevent injuries and to avoid damaging your phone. You can also 
refer to this brochure for warranty information about your phone.

the back cover and remove it completely.

Replacing the back cover

Please handle the back cover with care since your phone’s antennas are placed 
underneath it. Avoid twisting or bending the back cover. 
To get the best signal for calls, data connection, or GPS navigation, be sure to 
secure the back cover tightly to the phone.

Align the back cover onto the phone’s top panel.

Basics  15

16  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 use up much battery. Also, consider your location: poor 
signal strength from your mobile network and extreme temperature 
make the battery work harder.

Removing the battery

When you take your phone out from the box, make sure to peel off the thin film 
of the battery that’s inside your phone. Pull the flap of the film to release the 
battery.

1. Take the back cover off. See “Removing the back cover”.

2. Lift the battery from the groove at the top of the battery 

compartment.

Basics  17

Inserting the battery

Insert the battery (with its exposed copper contacts first) into the 
battery compartment. Then gently push the battery into place.

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.

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. Connect one end of the USB cable to the AC charger.

2. Connect the smaller end of the USB cable to the USB Connector 

on the left side of your wireless device.

3. Plug in the AC charger to a wall socket to start charging the 
battery.

As the battery is being charged, the notification LED shows a solid 
orange light. The light turns to solid green when the phone is fully 
charged.

18  Basics

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. 

Switching your phone on or off

Switching your phone on

Press and hold the POWER/LOCK button for a few seconds until the 
screen turns on.

When you turn on the phone for the first time, you’ll need to set it up. See the 
Getting started chapter for details.

Switching your phone off

1. If the display is off, press the POWER/LOCK button to turn it 

back on, then unlock the screen by sliding down the bar on the 
lock screen.

See “Unlocking the screen” in the Getting started chapter for 
details.

2. Press and hold the POWER/LOCK button for a few seconds.

3. When the Power options menu appears, tap Power off.

Getting started

Setting up your phone for the first time

When you switch on your phone for the first time, you’ll be asked to 
set up your phone. Just follow the onscreen instructions and you’ll be 
up and running with your phone in no time.

Some features that need to connect to the Internet such as location-based 
services and auto-sync of your online accounts may incur extra data fees from 
Verizon Wireless. Don’t worry. You can enable or disable them in your phone’s 
settings as you go along later on. To find out how, see the Settings chapter.

Home screen

Your Home screen is where you make your phone your own. It comes 
with a weather clock widget that shows the time and weather in your 
current location.

You can also add your favorite apps, shortcuts, folders and widgets so 
they’re always just a tap away.

To find out how, see the Personalizing chapter.

Getting started  21

Extended Home screen

As you start to do more things with your phone, you might find that 
one Home screen is not enough. No problem. You can use up to six 
extra screens. It should be plenty.

Slide your finger horizontally to the left or right and you’ll discover 
more space for adding icons, widgets, and more.

Press HOME   to return to the main Home screen (that is, the center 
home screen).

22  Getting started

Using Leap view

To jump straight to the screen that you want, press HOME   while on 
the main Home screen or pinch the screen to show the Leap view. It 
reveals all seven Home screens as thumbnails.

Just tap the one you want and you’ll leap right there.
