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.

Synchronizing with online accounts

About online accounts

Your phone can sync information with your Google™ and Microsoft® Exchange ActiveSync® accounts as well as receive updates from social networks such as Facebook®, Twitter™, and Flickr™.

These are some of the types of information you can sync:



Gmail™/Google Mail and Exchange ActiveSync email.



Google and Exchange ActiveSync contacts, as well as your Facebook friends’ contact information. For information on contacts, see the People chapter.



Calendar events from your primary Google Account and from Exchange ActiveSync. For information on using Calendar, see the Calendar chapter.



Status updates and links shared by your friends and yourself on social networks such as Facebook and Twitter. For details, see the Social chapter.



Flickr and Facebook photo uploads. For information on viewing photos, see the Gallery chapter.

You can set up an Exchange ActiveSync account on your phone either in the Mail application or the Accounts & sync setting.

To set it up in the Mail application, see “Adding a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account” in the Email chapter.

Adding a social network account

If you skipped setting up your social network account (such as Facebook, Twitter, or Flickr) when you first turned on and set up your phone, you can still sign in to these accounts through your phone’s settings.

From the Home screen, press MENU, and then tap Settings > Accounts & sync.

Tap Add account, and then tap the account type you want to add.

Signing in to your Google Account lets you synchronize Gmail/Google Mail and your Google contacts and calendars between your phone and the web. You also need to sign in to a Google Account to use Google applications such as Google Talk™ and Android Market™.™..

If you skipped signing in to a Google Account when you first set up your phone, you may encounter problems when using some Google applications. If these problems persist, you may need to factory reset your phone and enter your Google Account details when you set up the phone again. To factory reset your phone, see “Restarting or factory resetting your phone” in the Update and reset chapter.

Adding more Google Accounts

You can add more than one Google Account on your phone. However, subsequent Google Accounts can only synchronize Gmail/Google Mail and contacts. Other Google services use the first Google Account you added.
