Your HTC Liberty
User guide
![](/img.php?id=1269579&img=bg2.png)
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 Safety and regulatory guide 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
guide for regulatory information about your phone.
You can also visit our support website at www.htc.com/support to download the Safety and regulatory
guide and to access other helpful resources for your phone.

In this user guide, we use the following symbols to indicate useful and important information:
This is a note. A note often gives additional information, such as what happens on your phone when
you choose to do or not to do a certain action. A note also provides information that may only be
applicable to some situations.
This is a tip. A tip gives you an alternative way to do a particular step or procedure, or lets you know
of an option that you may find helpful.
This indicates that something is very important. Important information is something that you need to

This provides safety precaution information, that is, information that you need to be careful about to
prevent potential problems when using your phone.

Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi provides wireless Internet access over distances of up to 300 feet (100 meters). To use
Wi-Fi on your phone, you need access to a wireless access point or “hotspot”.
The availability and range of the Wi-Fi signal depends on the number, infrastructure, and other objects
through which the signal passes.
Turning Wi-Fi on and connecting to a wireless network
Press HOME > MENU, and then tap Settings > Wireless controls.
Select the Wi-Fi check box to turn Wi-Fi on. The phone will scan for available wireless
networks.
Tap Wi-Fi settings. The network names and security settings of detected Wi-Fi networks
are displayed in the Wi-Fi networks section.
Tap a Wi-Fi network to connect. If you selected an open network, you will be automatically
connected to the network. If you selected a network that is secured with WEP, enter the
key and then tap Connect.
Depending on the network type and its security settings, you may also need to enter more
information or choose a security certificate.
When your phone is connected to a wireless network, the Wi-Fi icon appears in the
status bar and tells you the approximate signal strength (number of bands that light up).
If Network notification in Wi-Fi settings is enabled, this icon appears in the status bar
whenever the phone detects an available wireless network within range.
The next time your phone connects to a previously accessed secured wireless network, you will not
be prompted to enter the key or other security information again, unless you reset your phone to its
factory default settings.
Connecting to a Wi-Fi network with EAP-TLS security
You may need to install a network certificate (.p12) to your phone before you can connect to
a Wi-Fi network with EAP-TLS authentication protocol.
Save the certificate file to the root folder of the storage card.
Press HOME > MENU, and then tap Settings > Security.
Tap Install from SD card.
Select the network certificate needed to connect to the EAP-TLS network.
Follow the steps in the previous section to connect to the Wi-Fi network.
