notifications more efficient. Here's an overview of some of its features.
Incoming call pop-up

2. Proximity and light sensor
3. VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons
4. POWER button
5. HTC BoomSound™ Hi-Fi edition speakers
6. USB Type-C™ connector
7. Microphones
8. nano SIM and storage card tray
9. Iris Unlock LED
10. Front camera
11. Iris Unlock camera
You need a 4G/LTE™ plan to use your operator's 4G/LTE network for voice calls and data services.
Check with your operator for details.
§ If you want to use a case or screen protector, don’t cover and block the proximity and light
sensor. Purchase a case or screen protector designed for HTC U19e.
§ Avoid liquid or dust from entering the microphone hole to prevent damage to the microphone.
§ Don’t disassemble any part of the phone. Don’t try to open the phone or remove the battery by
force. This may damage the phone or its electronics and will invalidate the warranty.
14 Unboxing and setup
Back panel
1. Dual cameras
2. Fingerprint scanner
3. LED flash
Inserting the nano SIM and microSD cards
§ Use a standard nano SIM card. A modified card that is thicker than the standard nano SIM card
will not fit properly on the tray and may damage the card slot.
§ The microSD™ card is optional and sold separately.
1. Hold the phone face down.
2. Insert the tip of the tray eject tool that came with your phone—or a small bent paperclip—
into the tray eject hole.
When inserting the eject tool into the tray eject hole to remove the card tray, do not obstruct
the tray to avoid damaging the eject mechanism inside the slot.
3. Push the tip all the way into the hole until the tray ejects, and then pull the tray out.
15 Unboxing and setup
4. Do the following to place your nano SIM and microSD cards into the tray:
§ With the gold contacts facing up, place two nano SIM cards into the SIM 1 and SIM 2
holders of the tray. Make sure to align the cut-off corners to the notches on the holders.
Both SIM 1 and SIM 2 cards
can be 4G LTE cards. To
find out how to set the
preferred card for your
mobile data connection, see
Choosing which nano SIM
card to use for your data
connection on page 19.
§ When you need to use a microSD card, remove your second nano SIM card and then
place the microSD card with its gold contacts facing up on the SIM 2/SD holder. You
cannot have both the second nano SIM card and the microSD card inserted at the same
time.
16 Unboxing and setup
5. When reinserting the tray, make sure it is facing up so that your cards don't fall out. With the
outer card holder between your fingers, steadily slide the tray all the way into the slot.
6. Make sure the tray is fully inserted and doesn't protrude from the slot.
Follow the same procedure above to eject the tray and remove your cards. Before ejecting the tray,
make sure to unmount your microSD card first. See Unmounting the storage card on page 93.
Charging the battery
Before you turn on and start using HTC U19e, it is recommended that you charge the battery.
§ If the battery has been fully drained, you may need to charge HTC U19e for several minutes
before powering it on.
§ Use HTC's power adapter and USB Type-C cable to charge the battery. When the battery power
is too low, make sure to use the power adapter to charge, not the USB cable connection with
your computer.
1. Insert the small end of the USB Type-C cable into the USB Type-C connector.
2. Insert the other end of the USB Type-C cable into the power adapter.
17 Unboxing and setup

4. After you finish charging, unplug the USB cable from your phone first. Hold the part of the
power adapter that's close to the USB port when you unplug the adapter from the outlet.
§ Avoid charging the battery in hot environments. As a safety precaution, the battery may stop
charging to avoid overheating.
§ When you're using battery-intensive apps such as games or video streaming apps while charging
the battery, your phone may become warmer. This is normal.

use.
