Battery

HTC Flyer uses a rechargeable battery. How long the battery can last before it needs recharging depends on how you use HTC Flyer. Among these are the features and accessories you use (for example, leaving your Bluetooth™ connection always on uses more power). Frequent web browsing uses 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.

Charging the battery

The battery is partially charged when shipped. Before you turn on and start using HTC Flyer, it is recommended that you charge the battery. Some batteries perform best after several full charge/discharge cycles.

Only the power adapter provided in the box must be used to charge the battery.

1. Plug the power adapter into the USB connector of HTC Flyer.

2. 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 orange light. The light turns to solid green when HTC Flyer is fully charged.

When you charge the battery while HTC Flyer is on, the charging battery icon is displayed in your tablet’s status bar. After the battery has been fully charged, the charging battery icon turns to a full battery icon .

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

What your tablet pen can do

Use the tablet pen to tap the button on HTC Flyer and open the Pen options palette. This lets you choose from a variety of pen types, strokes, and colors. Here are some of the pens and strokes you can use:

1 Pencil 2 Ballpoint pen 3 Paintbrush 4 Calligraphy pen 5 Marker 6 Highlighter 7 Eraser

How you typically use your regular pen on a piece of paper is also the way you can use the tablet pen on HTC Flyer. In other words, your tablet pen is for:

§ Writing and drawing.

If is lighted green, it means that you're in an app where you can freely write and draw. If is lighted red, then you're in an area where you can't write or draw unless you switch to Scribble mode.

§ Highlighting text.

When you're reading something interesting in pen-integrated apps, use the tablet pen as a highlighter and mark your favorite words and phrases.

§ Erasing.

Make quick edits to your notes or sketches.

You still need to use your finger to slide to another screen, scroll through a web page, or select onscreen items in the Home screen and other apps.

the Updates and events tab to see updates such as posted status messages, uploads, and profile changes.

What’s the difference between Facebook app and Facebook for HTC Sense?

§ Facebook for HTC Sense is not a standalone app. It is integrated in People, Friend Stream, Gallery, and Calendar to give you up-to-date information about your Facebook contacts (their status updates, shared links, and photos) in these apps.

§ The Facebook app is a standalone app. Use this app to do most of the things that you would do when you’re using your computer’s web browser to access your Facebook account, such as adding a friend and sending Facebook messages.

§ The two do not share the same login credentials. Signing in to Facebook for HTC Sense does not sign you in to the Facebook app and vice versa. If you want to use the same Facebook account for both, you’ll have to sign in to both using the same login credentials.

If you have more than one Facebook account, you may sign in to the Facebook app using your second account, since the Facebook app does not share the same login credentials as Facebook for HTC Sense.

Twitter for HTC Sense

If you signed in to your Twitter account when you turned on and set up HTC Flyer for the first time, that means your Twitter account is linked to Twitter for HTC Sense on HTC Flyer. (If you did not do this, add the Twitter for HTC Sense account in Settings > Accounts & sync.)

With Twitter for HTC Sense, you can:

§ Link your contacts in People to their Twitter profiles (if you’re following them).

§ Send tweets and check your friends’ tweets in Friend Stream.

Twitter for HTC Sense and the Twitter for app do not share the same login credentials. Signing in to Twitter for HTC Sense does not sign you in to the Twitter app and vice versa. If you want to use the same Twitter account for both, you’ll have to sign in to both using the same login credentials.

username]\My Documents\Bluetooth Exchange

§ On Windows 7, the path may be: C:\Users\[your username]\My Documents
