Important Information

Radio Frequency Exposure Operating Instructions

This device was tested for compliance with the applicable FCC and Industry Canada specific absorption rate (SAR) limits for radio frequency (RF) exposure during typical body-worn operations. To ensure that RF exposure levels remain at or below the tested levels, use a belt­clip, holster, or similar accessory that maintains a minimum separation distance of 1.0 cm between your body and the device, with either the front or back of the device facing towards your body. Such accessories should not contain any metallic components. Body-worn accessories that do not meet these specifications may not ensure compliance with applicable SAR limits and their use should be avoided.

Important Note on Recoverable Data

Files and other data that have been deleted, cleared, removed, or erased from your device may still be recoverable by third-party data recovery software. Even a factory reset may not permanently erase all data from your phone, including personal information.

This section gives you all the information you need to set up your phone and Sprint service the first time.

Your Phone at a Glance

The following illustrations outline your phone’s primary external features, keys, and buttons.
Front Panel
Get Started 1
Page 18
Back Panel

Charge Your Phone

Your phone’s battery should have enough charge for the device to turn on and find a signal, run the setup application, set up voicemail, and make a call. You must fully charge the battery to begin setting up your phone.
1. Plug one end of the USB cable into the AC adapter.
2. Plug the other end of the USB cable into the Charger/Accessory Jack on the bottom panel of your phone.
Get Started 2
Page 19
3. Plug the AC adapter into an electrical outlet. Fully charging a battery may take up to three hours.
Note: Use only the adapter and the USB cable that came with your phone to charge the battery. When the battery power is too low, make sure to use the power adapter to charge, not the USB cable connection with your computer.
Note: As a safety precaution, the battery may stop charging to avoid overheating. Note: When you’re using the Internet and charging the battery, your phone may become
warmer. This is normal. Note: To conserve energy, unplug the power adapter from the electrical outlet after you finish
charging.

Activate Your Phone

Follow the instructions below to activate your phone if it has not already been activated. Depending on your account or how and where you purchased your phone, it may be ready to use or you may need to activate it on your Sprint account.
● If you purchased your phone at a Sprint Store, it is probably activated and ready to use.
● If you received your phone in the mail and it is for a new Sprint account or a new line of
service, it is designed to activate automatically. When you turn the phone on for the first time and start the setup application, you
should see a Hands Free Activation screen, which may be followed by a PRL Update screen and a Firmware Update screen. Follow the onscreen instructions to continue.
● If you received your phone in the mail and you are activating a new phone for an existing
number on your account (you’re swapping phones), you can activate on your computer online or directly on your phone.
Activate on your computer:

Transfer Content to Your New Phone

You can easily transfer content, contacts, messages, calendar events, music, photos, videos, and more from other phones or your computer to your new phone using the HTC Transfer Tool, Bluetooth®, or direct USB connection.

Transfer Content from an Android Phone

On your old Android™ phone, download the HTC Transfer Tool and use it to transfer your
content to your new HTC phone. The types of locally stored content on your old phone that the tool can transfer include contacts, messages, calendar events, Web bookmarks, music, photos, and videos. Some settings can also be transferred.
Note: You need Android version 2.2 or later to use the HTC Transfer Tool on your old phone. Note: If your old phone has Android version 2.1 or an earlier version, you need to use Bluetooth
transfer. For details, see Transfer Content From Your Old Phone Using Bluetooth.

5. When you see a PIN on your old phone, make sure the same PIN also appears on your new phone before you continue.
Get Started 6
Page 23
Note: If the PIN code doesn’t appear, this may mean that your old phone is unable to connect to your new phone. If this happens, touch Try another transfer method on your new phone to use Bluetooth for transferring contacts from your old phone.
6. On your old phone, choose the types of content you want to transfer, and then touch Start or Transfer.
7. Wait for the transfer to finish.
8. Touch Done on both phones.

Transfer Content from an iPhone

If you have an iPhone®, it’s fast and easy to transfer your contacts, messages, and other content when you use HTC Sync Manager. For details, see Transfer iPhone Content to Your
HTC Phone.

Transfer Content From Your Old Phone Using Bluetooth.

Transfer Content From Your Old Phone Using Bluetooth

Use Bluetooth to transfer contacts from an iPhone, a phone that has Android version 2.1 (or earlier version), or other types of phones.
Depending on the capabilities of your old phone, you may be able to transfer not only contacts but also other data such as calendar events and text messages to your new HTC phone.
Get Started 7
Page 24

Transfer Content Between Your Phone and Computer

There are two ways you can transfer content to or from your computer.
● Connect your phone to your computer. Your computer will recognize it just like any
removable USB drive, and you can copy your media between them.
● Download and use the HTC Sync Manager software on your computer. You can set
it up to automatically get music, photos, and videos off your phone to your computer. You can also sync playlists from your computer to the phone.
If you have an iPhone, you can even connect it and transfer the camera roll (photos and videos) to your computer. Then reconnect your phone and copy them over. For details, see HTC Sync Manager.
Tired of keeping copies of your media in several places? Use online storage services to put your media in one place so you can manage them anywhere — on your computer, phone, and other mobile devices.
Go to Settings, and then touch Accounts & sync > to check first what online storage accounts are available on your phone. Sign in to the one you want to use and then use the Gallery app to access media in your online storage.

Ways of Transferring Contacts and Other Content into Your Phone

There are different ways you can individually add contacts and other content to your new HTC phone.

Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync Server in your workplace.

store them on your online accounts.

Restore Your Backup From Your Online Storage to Your New Phone

If you used HTC Backup before, you can restore your backup to your new HTC phone when you turn thephone on for the first time or after a factory reset.
Important: Depending on the amount of content, restoring your backup to your phone through your data connection may use a lot of time and data. Using a Wi-Fi connection is recommended.
1. When you're asked whether you have a Google® Account, sign in to your account.
2. Use your mobile data or Wi-Fi connection to connect your phone to the Internet. If you used your Google login credentials as your HTC Account and your backup is in
Google Drive™, touch Sign in with Google. If not, touch Remind me later, go to the Transfer or restore screen, and select Restore
from HTC Backup.
3. Follow the onscreen instructions to restore your backup and to continue setting up your phone.
4. Slide open the Notifications panel to check if there's any notification to finish setting up your phone.
Your free apps that you’ve previously downloaded from Google Play will be restored in the background, and you can track the progress via a notification in the status bar. To restore paid apps, you need to download and install them from Google Play.
Get Started 9
