Battery

HTC Status uses a rechargeable battery. How long the battery can last before it needs
recharging depends on how you use HTC Status. Use of different features uses the
battery quicker than others. 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

2. Lift the battery out from the right side.

Inserting the battery

1. Take the battery cover off.

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

Charging the battery

The battery is partially charged when shipped. Before you turn on and start using
HTC Status, 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 in the box must be used to
charge the battery.

§ Do not remove the battery from HTC Status 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.

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.
