Battery
HTC EVO V 4G uses a rechargeable battery. How long the battery can last before it
needs recharging depends on how you use HTC EVO V 4G.The features and
accessories you use can affect battery life. For example, leaving your Bluetooth
connection always on uses more power. Long phone calls and frequent web browsing
use 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
1. Take the back cover off.
2. With your thumb or finger, lift the battery from the battery compartment.
®
Inserting the battery
Please use only original batteries that came in the box or replacements that we
recommend.

2. Insert the battery (with its exposed copper contacts first) into the battery
compartment.
13 Getting started
Charging the battery

the battery.
§ Only the power adapter and USB cable provided in the box must be used to
charge the battery.
§ Do not remove the battery from HTC EVO V 4G while you are charging it using the
power or car adapter.
1. Insert the small end of the USB cable into the USB connector.
2. Insert the other end of the USB cable into the power adapter.
3. Plug in the power adapter to an electrical outlet to start charging the battery.
As a safety precaution, the battery stops charging if it overheats.
Getting the battery to last longer
How long the battery can last before it needs recharging depends on how you use
HTC EVO V 4G. The features and accessories you use can affect battery life.
You can get the battery to last longer by following a few simple tips:
§ Turn off the display when you're not using it
§ Lower the volume
§ Close battery-intensive programs, such as the Camera, when you're done using
them
§ Make sure apps are closed and not continuously running in the background
§ Use the power adapter whenever possible

What are Wireless Emergency Alerts/CMAS?
Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA), also known as CMAS, is a part of a national
alerting system called IPAWS (Integrated Public Alert and Warning System) that
enables emergency management officials to rapidly disseminate the warnings and
safety information via text alerts to wireless phones based on the phones’ geographic
location. The Federal Emergency Management Agency or FEMA is responsible for
receiving the alerting information and forwarding the alerts to participating wireless
carriers such as Sprint. Such alerts may come from the President of the United States;
the National Weather Service, state or county public safety officials. This system is
integrated into the same national alerting services that serve television and radio
today. For more information regarding WEA/CMAS please go to FEMA website.
