13 Getting started
Battery
HTC Sensation uses a rechargeable battery. How long the battery can last before it
needs recharging depends on how you use HTC Sensation. 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 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.
Removing the battery
1. Take the back cover off.
2. With your thumb or finger, lift the battery from the battery compartment.
14 Getting started
Inserting the battery
Please use only original batteries that came in the box or replacements that we
recommend.
1. Take the back cover off.
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, 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 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 while you are charging it using the
power or car adapter.
1. Plug the power adapter into the USB connector.
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
When you charge the battery and HTC Sensation is on, the charging battery icon is
displayed in the 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.

screen.
2. Press and hold the POWER button for a few seconds.
3. When the Power options menu appears, tap Power off.

operator. If you’re asked for a PIN, enter it and then tap OK.
If you enter the wrong PIN three times, your SIM card is blocked. No problem. Just

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 HTC Sensation sideways. When
entering text, you can turn HTC Sensation sideways to bring up a bigger
keyboard.

When you switch on HTC Sensation for the first time, you’ll be asked to set it up. You
can choose your language, how you want to connect to the Internet, and whether you
want your current location to be automatically detected. If you still have personal
contacts and calendar events stored on your old phone, you can easily transfer them
to HTC Sensation through Bluetooth as well.

and Android Market™. You can also set up your other email accounts, favorite social
networks like Facebook® and Twitter™, and more.
Just follow the onscreen instructions and you’ll be up and running in no time.

and auto-sync of your online accounts may incur extra data fees. Don’t worry. You
can enable or disable them in settings later on.
