Know about privacy laws
Some countries have strict laws about how and when you can record

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)

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
3
brought. The foregoing does not affect any statutory rights which may
not be disclaimed.

Battery
Your phone uses a rechargeable battery. Please use only original
batteries and accessories that came with your phone or replacements
that we recommend.
How long the battery can last before it needs recharging depends on
how you use your phone. Among these are the phone features and
accessories you use (for example, leaving your Bluetooth connection
always on uses more power). Long phone calls and frequent web
browsing use up much battery. Also, consider your location: poor
signal strength from your mobile network and extreme temperature
make the battery work harder.
Inserting the battery
Align the battery’s exposed copper contacts with the battery
connectors inside the battery compartment.
Insert the contact side of the battery first, and then gently push
the battery into place.
Replace the back cover.

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
From the Home screen, tap > Facebook.
If this is your first time to use Facebook, follow the onscreen
instructions to sign in to your Facebook account.

While on the Facebook home screen, press MENU, and then tap

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 Gallery 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.

Update and reset
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 U.S. Cellular.
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.

302 Update and reset
Wait for the update process to finish. When the update is
finished, the phone will automatically reset.
Checking for phone system software updates manually
From the Home screen, press MENU, then tap Settings.
Scroll down the screen, and then tap Software update >
Check new.
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.

Scroll down the screen, and then tap Factory data reset.
On the Factory data reset screen, tap Reset phone, and then tap
Erase everything.
Performing a factory reset using phone buttons
If you cannot turn on your phone or access the phone settings, you
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 press and hold the POWER button.
When the screen with Android images appears, release the
buttons.
Press VOLUME DOWN to select FACTORY RESET, and then
press the POWER button.
