HTC PD26110, PD26100 User Manual

Your HTC Mondrian

User guide

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 polymer or 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.

Inserting the battery

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

[IMAGE]

Removing the battery

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

[IMAGE]

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. Attach the power plug to the power adapter.

Plug the power adapter into the USB connector at the bottom of your phone.

[IMAGE]

3. Plug in the power adapter to an electrical outlet to start charging the battery.

12 Basics

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 [IMAGE] is displayed in the status bar of the Start screen. After the battery has been fully charged, a full battery icon [IMAGE] will be displayed in the status bar of the Start screen.

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

Switching your phone on or off

Switching your phone on

Press the POWER button. Easy.

When you turn on the phone for the first time, you’ll need to set it up. Go to “Setting up your phone for the first time” and we’ll take you through it.

Getting started

Entering your PIN

Most SIM cards come with a PIN (personal identification number) set by your mobile operator. If you’re asked for a PIN, enter it and then tap OK.

To find out how to enable, disable, or change the PIN, see “Protecting your SIM card with a PIN” in the Security chapter.

If you enter the PIN wrong three times, your SIM card is blocked. No problem. Just contact your mobile operator and ask for the PUK (PIN Unblocking Key).

Setting up your phone for the first time

When you switch on your phone for the first time, you’ll be asked to set some options such as your time zone, data connection preferences, and/or your Window Live ID. Just follow the onscreen instructions and you’ll be up and running with your phone in no time.

Start screen

The Start screen contains tiles that are associated with apps on your phone. Scroll up or down to see the other tiles that are on the Start screen. Pin your frequentlyaccessed apps, contact cards, favorite picture albums, and more on the Start screen. By pinning those things on the Start screen, they’re always just a tap away. See “Pinning items to the Start screen” later in this chapter to learn how to add your stuff to the Start screen.

Rearranging the tiles on the Start screen

Press and hold the tile you want to move. The other tiles will look like that

they’ve been moved back.

Drag the tile to the position where you want to place it. Pause at the top or

bottom edge of the screen to drag the tile to the extended Start screen.

When the tile is where you want it, tap the tile to dock it.

Switching to Sleep mode

Press the POWER button to turn off the display and switch your phone to Sleep mode. Your phone also automatically goes into Sleep mode when it’s idle for a while.

Waking up from Sleep mode

Your phone automatically wakes up when you have an incoming call. To wake it up manually, press the POWER button. You’ll need to unlock the screen.

Unlocking the screen

With the lock screen showing, press the bottom of the screen and then slide your finger up to unlock the screen or answer an incoming call.

Flick Flicking the screen is similar to swiping, except that you need to swipe your

finger in light, quicker strokes. This finger gesture is always in a vertical direction, such as when flicking the contacts or message list.

Rotate For most screens, you can automatically change the screen orientation

from portrait to landscape by turning the phone sideways. When entering text, you can turn the phone sideways to bring up a bigger keyboard.

screen using 2 fingers (for example, thumb and index fingers) to zoom in or zoom out when viewing a picture or a web page.

You can pin just about anything you want to the Start screen: apps, pictures, songs, shortcuts, and even contacts. For example, when you pin a contact to the Start screen, you’ll get all of that person’s updates—feeds, email, text messages, and call notifications—right from that tile.
