Battery and Charger
Sprint-approved or HTC-approved batteries and accessories can be found at Sprint Stores or through HTC;
or call 1-866-866-7509 to order. They’re also available at www.sprint.com.
Battery Capacity
Your device is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is
fully drained. The battery provides up to 6 hours of continuous talk time. For battery-saving tips, see “Power-
Saving Tips” on page 37.
Installing the Battery
1. With the device turned off, insert your fingernail into the slot at the top left of the battery compartment
cover and lift gently to remove.
2. Align the battery’s exposed copper contacts with the battery connectors inside the battery compartment.
3. Insert the contact end of the battery first then gently push the battery into place.
4. Replace the back cover, making sure all the locking tabs are seated and there are no gaps around the
cover.
Note: The indicators are listed in order of priority. For example, if your device is connected to a power adapter and is
charging the battery, the LED will be solid amber and will not switch to a flashing green light even if there is a
pending notification.
WARNING: Use only Sprint-approved or HTC-approved batteries and chargers with your device. The failure to use an
Sprint-approved or HTC-approved battery and charger may increase the risk that your device will overheat,
catch fire, or explode, resulting in serious bodily injury, death, or property damage.
Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, browser use, and other variables may reduce the
battery’s talk and standby times.
Tip: Watch your device’s battery level indicator and charge the battery before it runs out of power.

2. Remove the back cover. (See step 1 of “Installing the Battery.”)
3. Lift the battery from the notches on the upper left and right sides of the battery compartment.
Charging the Battery
Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. If your battery level becomes too low, your device
automatically turns off, and you will lose any information you were just working on.

charge your battery.
1. Plug the USB connector of the AC adapter into the charger/accessory jack at the bottom of your device.
2. Plug in the AC adapter to an electrical outlet to start charging the battery.

TTY Use With Sprint Service
A TTY (teletypewriter, also known as a TDD or Text Telephone) is a telecommunications device that allows
people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or who have speech or language disabilities, to communicate by
telephone.
Your device is compatible with select TTY devices. Please check with the manufacturer of your TTY device to
ensure that it supports digital wireless transmission. Your device and TTY device will connect using a special
cable that plugs into your device’s headset jack. If this cable was not provided with your TTY device, contact
your TTY device manufacturer to purchase the connector cable.
When establishing your Sprint service, please call Sprint Customer Service using the state
Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) by first dialing . Then provide
the state TRS with this number: 866-727-4889.
To turn TTY Mode on or off:
1. Press > and tap Settings > Call > TTY mode.
2. Tap TTY Full, TTY HCO, or TTY VCO to turn TTY mode on.
– or –
Tap TTY Off to turn TTY mode off.
Note: When enabled, TTY mode may impair the audio quality of non-TTY devices connected to the headset jack.
WARNING: 911 Emergency Calling
Sprint recommends that TTY users make emergency calls by other means, including Telecommunications
Relay Services (TRS), analog cellular, and landline communications. Wireless TTY calls to 911 may be
corrupted when received by public safety answering points (PSAPs), rendering some communications
unintelligible. The problem encountered appears related to TTY equipment or software used by PSAPs. This
matter has been brought to the attention of the FCC, and the wireless industry and the PSAP community are
currently working to resolve this.

Facebook FAQ
What are the differences Between Facebook for HTC Sense and Facebook for Android Application?
ⅷFacebook for HTC Sense is not a standalone application. It is integrated into People, Friend Stream, and
Gallery to give you up-to-date information about your Facebook contacts (their status updates and new
photos) in these applications.
ⅷThe 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.
ⅷThe 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.

Camera Flash FAQ
Camera flash light doesn’t turn on?
The flash light quickly consumes battery power. To save battery power, the camera disables the flash light or
locks it to Flash off mode (even when you have set it to Auto flash or Flash on) when one of the following
occurs:
ⅷYou have an incoming call. If you have set the flash light to Flash on, it turns back on after you answer and
end the call.
ⅷYour device’s battery level reaches 20% or lower. Recharge the battery so that the camera can have
enough battery power to use the flash light.
ⅷCold weather lowers battery performance and affects the flash light. To make sure the camera has
enough battery life to power up the flash light, keep your device warm. When not in use, put the device
inside your jacket to keep it warm, and try to avoid sudden temperature changes that may affect battery
performance.
