Battery
HTC XXXX uses a built-in, rechargeable battery. How long the battery can last before
it needs recharging depends on how you use HTC XXXX.The features and accessories
you use can affect battery life. For example, leaving your Bluetooth® connection
always on uses more power. Long phone calls and frequent web browsing use up a lot
of battery power. Also, consider your location: poor signal strength from your mobile
network and extreme temperature make the battery work harder.

battery.

the battery.

2. Insert the other end of the USB cable into the power adapter.
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 orange light. The
light turns to solid green when the battery is fully charged.
When you charge the battery and HTC XXXX is on, the charging battery icon is
displayed in the status bar. After the battery has been fully charged, the charging
battery icon turns to a full battery icon .
As a safety precaution, the battery stops charging when it overheats.
