Important Information 1
Important Information
The following topics provide important information that should be read prior to using your
HTC Desire 510.
Radio Frequency Exposure Operating
Instructions
This device was tested for compliance with the applicable FCC and Industry Canada specific absorption
rate (SAR) limits for radio frequency (RF) exposure during typical body-worn operations. To ensure that
RF exposure levels remain at or below the tested levels, use a belt-clip, holster, or similar accessory that
maintains a minimum separation distance of 1.0 cm between your body and the device, with either the
front or back of the device facing towards your body. Such accessories should not contain any metallic
components. Body-worn accessories that do not meet these specifications may not ensure compliance
with applicable SAR limits and their use should be avoided.
Important Note on Recoverable Data
Files and other data that have been deleted, cleared, removed, or erased from your device may still be
recoverable by third-party data recovery software. Even a factory reset may not permanently erase all
data from your phone, including personal information.

2. Plug the other end of the USB cable into the Charger/Accessory Jack on the bottom panel of your

3. Plug the AC adapter into an electrical outlet. Fully charging a battery may take up to three hours.
Note: Use only the adapter and the USB cable that came with your phone to charge the battery. When
the battery power is too low, make sure to use the power adapter to charge, not the USB cable
connection with your computer.
Note: As a safety precaution, the battery may stop charging to avoid overheating.
Note: When you’re using the Internet and charging the battery, your phone may become warmer. This is
normal.
Note: To conserve energy, unplug the power adapter from the electrical outlet after you finish charging.

Transfer Content Between Your Phone and Computer
There are two ways you can transfer content to or from your computer.
●Connect your phone to your computer. Your computer will recognize it just like any removable
USB drive, and you can copy your media between them.
●Download and use the HTC Sync Manager software on your computer. You can set it up to
automatically get music, photos, and videos off your phone to your computer. You can also sync
playlists from your computer to the phone.
If you have an iPhone, you can even connect it and transfer the camera roll (photos and videos)
to your computer. Then reconnect your phone and copy them over. For details, see HTC Sync
Manager.
