Battery

HTC Sensation 4G uses a rechargeable battery. How long the battery can last before it needs recharging depends on how you use HTC Sensation 4G. Among these are the features and accessories you use (for example, leaving your Bluetooth™ connection always on uses more power). Long phone calls and 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.

Removing the battery thin film

Before using HTC Sensation 4G for the first time, you need to remove the thin film that's underneath the battery.
1. Take the back cover off.
2. Pull the flap of the thin film out, and then remove it from the battery
compartment.

2. Insert the battery (with its exposed copper contacts first) into the battery
compartment.

Charging the battery

The battery is partially charged when shipped. Before you turn on and start using HTC Sensation 4G, it is recommended that you charge the battery. Some batteries perform best after several full charge/discharge cycles.
§ The battery is already installed in HTC Sensation 4G when shipped. A thin film is inserted between the battery and the compartment. You need to remove this film before you can charge the battery.
§ Only the power adapter and USB sync cable provided in the box must be used to charge the battery.
§ Do not remove the battery from HTC Sensation 4G while you are charging it using the power or car adapter.

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 the battery is fully charged.
15 Getting started

is displayed in the status bar. After the battery has been fully charged, the
charging battery icon turns to a full battery icon .
