Before you do anything else, please read this
Charge the battery
The battery in your phone hasn’t been charged yet. While your phone
is charging, it’s important that you do not remove the battery pack.
Doing so can damage your phone. Also, please don’t try to take your
phone apart. (If you do, it may invalidate your warranty.)
Choose a rate plan wisely
Your phone can use up a lot of Internet bandwidth really quickly.
Before you use your phone, we strongly recommend that you talk to
your mobile operator about data rates. If you’re on a standard data
plan, the costs could really add up. Switching to a flat-rate plan could
be a lot cheaper.
Know about privacy laws
Some countries have strict laws about how and when you can record
phone conversations. For example, you may need to tell the person
you’re speaking to before you start recording. It’s a good idea to find
out what the laws are where you live before you use your phone’s
recording feature.

And finally, a few important words from our legal team (LIMITATION OF
DAMAGES)
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall
HTC or its affiliates be liable to you, any user, or third party for any
indirect, special, consequential, incidental or punitive damages of any
kind, arising in contract, tort, or otherwise, including, but not limited
to, injury, loss of revenue, loss of goodwill, loss of business opportunity,
loss of data, and/or loss of profits, regardless of the foreseeability
thereof or whether HTC or its affiliates have been advised of the
possibility of such damages. And in no event shall the total liability of
HTC or its affiliates exceed the amount received from you, regardless
of the legal theory under which the cause of action is brought. The
foregoing does not affect any statutory rights which may not be
disclaimed.
Please also read the Product Safety & Warranty Brochure that is
included in the box for information on the proper usage of your phone
to prevent injuries and to avoid damaging your phone. You can also
refer to this brochure for warranty information about your phone.
You can also visit our support website at www.htc.com/support to
download the Product Safety & Warranty Brochure and to access other
helpful resources for your phone.

Facebook for Android application
The Facebook application on your phone lets you keep up and stay
close with your friends in Facebook. It offers most of the features that
you are familiar with when using Facebook on your computer.
If you have more than one Facebook account, you can sign in to the
Facebook application using your other Facebook account.
Using the Facebook application
Press HOME , and then tap > Facebook.
If this is your first time to use Facebook, follow the onscreen
instructions to sign in to your Facebook account.
On the News Feed screen, press MENU, and then tap Home to
access the other functions.
While on the Facebook home screen, press MENU, and then tap
Settings to set refresh and notification options.
On some Facebook screens, you can press and hold an item to
open an options menu.
With the Facebook application, you can:
Share your thoughts and check other people’s status updates.
View your friends list and write on someone’s wall.
Comment on a friend’s post.
View someone’s personal information, including photo albums.
Check your Facebook notifications.
Take a photo and upload it straight to your Facebook account.
Adding the Facebook widget
Add the Facebook widget to the Home screen to let you quickly share
your thoughts and view your friends’ status updates.

Differences between Facebook for HTC Sense and
Facebook for Android application
Facebook for HTC Sense is not a standalone application. It is
integrated into People, Friend Stream, and Photos to give you
up-to-date information about your Facebook contacts (their
status updates and new photos) in these applications.
The Facebook for Android application is a standalone application.
Use this application 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 adding captions
to photos you upload.
The two do not share the same login credentials. Signing in to
Facebook for HTC Sense does not sign you in to the Facebook
application 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.

backs up your contacts to an online server. You must first create an
account on the Verizon Wireless website.

Updating your phone’s system software
From time to time, system software updates for your phone may be
available. Your phone can check and then notify you if an update is
available. You can then download and install the update to your phone.
Depending on the type of update, the update may erase all your
personal data and customized settings, and also remove any programs
you have installed. Make sure that you have backed up the information
and files you want to keep.
Checking and downloading system software updates may incur
additional data transfer fees from Verizon Wireless.
When there is an update available, the Install system software
update dialog box will appear onscreen.
On the dialog box, select Install now, and then tap OK.
Select Install later if you want to install the system update at a later
time. When you are ready to install, open the Notifications panel, and
then tap System update is ready.
Wait for the update process to finish. When the update is
finished, the phone will automatically reset.

Backup, update and reset 291
Checking for phone system software updates manually
Press HOME > MENU, then tap Settings.
Scroll down the screen, and then tap About phone > System
updates.
Your phone checks for system software updates. If no update is
available the message “Your system is currently up to date.” appears.
Performing a hard/factory reset
You can return your phone to its original state, as it was when it left the
factory. This is also called a hard reset. You might want to do this if you
are giving your phone to a friend or relative and you want to remove
all your data first, or if your phone has a persistent problem that is not
solved by powering off the phone and then powering it on again.
A factory reset is a drastic measure. It permanently erases all your
personal data and customized settings, and also removes any
programs you have installed. Make sure that you have backed up the
information and files you want to keep.
If your phone hangs or freezes, we recommend that you do a “soft”
reset instead of a hard/factory reset. To perform a soft reset, remove
the battery, wait for a few seconds, and then re-install it. After re-
installing the battery, turn on the phone.
Performing a factory reset via settings
The most convenient way to do a factory reset is via the phone
settings.
Press HOME > MENU, then tap Settings.
Scroll down the screen, and then tap Privacy > Factory data
reset.

can still perform a factory reset by using the buttons on the phone.
With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN
button, and then briefly press the POWER button.
Wait for the screen with the 3 Android images to appear, and
then release the VOLUME DOWN button.
Press VOLUME DOWN to select CLEAR STORAGE, and then
press POWER.
