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.)

Choose a rate plan wisely

Your phone can use up a lot of Internet bandwidth really quickly. Before you use your phone, we strongly recommend that you talk to your mobile operator about data rates. If you’re on a standard data plan, the costs could really add up. Switching to a flat-rate plan could be a lot cheaper.

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 Safety and regulatory guide 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 guide for regulatory information about your phone.

Check out our support website at www.htc.com/support for software updates and other helpful resources for your phone.

Battery

Your phone comes with a rechargeable Lithium-ion battery and is designed to use only manufacturer-specified original batteries and accessories. Battery performance depends on many factors, including network configuration, signal strength, the temperature of the environment in which you operate your phone, the features and/or settings you select and use, items attached to connecting ports, and your voice, data, and other program usage patterns.

Removing the thin film from the battery

When you take your phone out from the box and remove the back cover for the first time, you’ll find that the battery is inside the phone with a thin film. Pull the upper flap of the film to release the battery. Make sure to peel off the film before placing back the battery.

Inserting the battery

Line up the battery’s copper contacts with the connectors inside the battery slot. Then gently push the battery into place.

Removing the battery

Lift out the battery from the small opening on the left side of the battery compartment.

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.

Basics 15



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. Attach the power plug to the power adapter.

2. Plug the power adapter into the USB connector on the left side of your phone.

3. 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 when the battery is being charged. 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 the status bar of the Home screen. After the battery has been fully charged, a full battery icon (

) will be displayed in the status bar of the Home screen.

As a safety precaution, the battery stops charging when it overheats.
