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.

A note about location services
Your phone is designed to make it easy for you to access a wide variety of
content. For your protection, we want you to be aware that some applications
that you enable may involve the location of your phone being shared. For
applications available through AT&T, we offer privacy controls that let you
decide how an application may use the location of your phone and other
phones on your account. However, the AT&T privacy tools do not apply to
applications available outside of AT&T. Please review the terms and conditions
and the associated privacy policy for each location-based service to learn how
location information will be used and protected. In addition, your AT&T phone
may be used to access the Internet and to download, and/or purchase goods,
applications, and services from AT&T or elsewhere from third parties. AT&T
provides tools for you to control access to the Internet and certain Internet
content. These controls may not be available for certain devices which bypass
AT&T controls.
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.
