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.
Check out our support website at www.htc.com/support for software
updates and other helpful resources for your phone.

12 Basics
Battery
Your phone comes with a rechargeable Lithium-ion battery and is designed to use
only manufacturer-specified original batteries and accessories. Battery performance
depends on many factors, including network configuration, signal strength, the
temperature of the environment in which you operate your phone, the features and/or
settings you select and use, items attached to connecting ports, and your voice, data,
and other program usage patterns.
Removing the thin film from the battery
When you take your phone out from the box and remove the back cover for the first
time, you’ll find that the battery is inside the phone with a thin film. Pull the upper flap
of the film to release the battery. Make sure to peel off the film before placing back the
battery.
Inserting the battery
Line up the battery’s copper contacts with the connectors inside the battery slot. Then
gently push the battery into place.
Removing the battery
Lift out the battery from the small opening on the left side of the battery
compartment.
Charging the battery
The battery is partially charged when shipped. Before you turn on and start using your
phone, 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 with your phone must be used to
charge the battery.
Do not remove the battery from the phone while you are charging it using the power or car
adapter.
1. Attach the power plug to the power adapter.
2. Plug the power adapter into the USB connector on the left side of your phone.
3. 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 red light when
the battery is being charged. The light turns to solid green when the phone is fully
charged.
When you charge the battery while the phone is on, the charging battery icon
( ) is displayed in the status bar of the Home screen. After the battery has been
fully charged, a full battery icon ( ) will be displayed in the status bar of the Home
screen.
As a safety precaution, the battery stops charging when it overheats.

13 Basics
Storage card
Use the microSD card to store your photos, videos, and music. You’ll find the microSD
card already inserted in your phone.
Inserting the storage card
1. Take the back cover off.
See “Removing the back cover.”
2. Insert the microSD card into the slot with its gold contacts facing down and
push it all the way in.
Removing the storage card
1. Take the back cover off.
See “Removing the back cover.”
2. Pull the storage card out from the slot.
Removing the storage card while the phone is on
When you need to remove the storage card while the phone is on, unmount the
storage card first to prevent corrupting or damaging the files in the storage card.
On the Home screen, press MENU, and then tap Settings.
Scroll down the screen, and then tap SD card & phone storage.
Tap Unmount SD card.
Remove the storage card by following the steps in “Removing the storage card.”

contact information. For information on contacts, see the People chapter.
Calendar events from your primary Google Account and from Exchange
ActiveSync. For information on using Calendar, see the Calendar chapter.
Status updates and links shared by your friends and yourself on social
networks such as Facebook and Twitter. For details, see the Social chapter.
Flickr and Facebook photo uploads. For information on viewing photos, see
the Gallery chapter.
You can set up an Exchange ActiveSync account on your phone either in the Mail application
