time.
Your Phone at a Glance

Front Panel

Get Started 2
Back Panel
Charge Your Phone
Your phone’s battery should have enough charge for the device to turn on and find a signal, run the setup
application, set up voicemail, and make a call. You must fully charge the battery to begin setting up your
phone.
1. Plug one end of the USB cable into the AC adapter.
2. Plug the other end of the USB cable into the Charger/Accessory Jack on the bottom panel of your
phone.

Get Started 3
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.
Activate Your Phone
Follow the instructions below to activate your phone if it has not already been activated. Depending on
your account or how and where you purchased your phone, it may be ready to use or you may need to
activate it on your wireless account.
●If you purchased your phone at a store, it is probably activated and ready to use.
●If you received your phone in the mail and it is for a new wireless account or a new line of service,
it is designed to activate automatically.
When you turn the phone on for the first time and start the setup application, you should see
a Hands Free Activation screen, which may be followed by a PRL Update screen and a
Firmware Update screen. Follow the onscreen instructions to continue.
●If you received your phone in the mail and you are activating a new phone for an existing number
on your account (you’re swapping phones), you will need to contact your wireless service
provider.
To confirm activation, make a phone call. If your phone is still not activated, contact your wireless service
provider for assistance.
Tip: Do not press the Power Button while the phone is being activated. Pressing the Power Button
cancels the activation process.

Depending on the capabilities of your old phone, you may be able to transfer not only contacts but also
other data such as calendar events and text messages to your new HTC phone.
Tip: Use HTC Sync Manager to transfer more types of content from an iPhone. For details, see Transfer
iPhone Content to Your HTC Phone.
1. If you’re setting up your new HTC phone for the first time, select Get content from old phone
and touch NEXT.
– or –
With two fingers, swipe down from the status bar, and then touch > Get content from
another phone.
2. Choose whether to transfer from an Android phone, iPhone, or other phone types. If you chose to

4. Follow the onscreen instructions on your old and new phones to pair them and start the data
transfer.
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.
Tired of keeping copies of your media in several places? Use online storage services to put your media in
one place so you can manage them anywhere — on your computer, phone, and other mobile devices.
Go to Settings, and then touch Accounts & sync > to check first what online storage accounts are
available on your phone. Sign in to the one you want to use and then use the Gallery app to access
media in your online storage.
Ways of Transferring Contacts and Other Content into Your
Phone
There are different ways you can individually add contacts and other content to your new HTC phone.
●Sync with your computer. Use HTC Sync Manager to sync contacts, documents, playlists, and
more between your phone and a computer running a Windows®or Mac OS®operating system.

You can also use it to transfer iTunes®backup that contains contacts, messages, and other
content from an iPhone to your computer, and then to your HTC phone. For details, see HTC
Sync Manager.
●Google Account. Google contacts are imported to your phone after you sign in to your Google
Account. You can also create more Google contacts right from your phone.
●Social network accounts. Log in to your favorite social networks to sync contact information
from them.
●Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync. Your phone syncs your work contacts from the Microsoft
Exchange ActiveSync Server in your workplace.
●Phone contacts. You can create contacts locally on your phone, if you don’t prefer to store them
on your online accounts.
Restore Your Backup From Your Online Storage
to Your New Phone
If you used HTC Backup before, you can restore your backup to your new HTC phone when you turn the
phone on for the first time or after a factory reset.
Important: Depending on the amount of content, restoring your backup to your phone through your data
connection may use a lot of time and data. Using a Wi-Fi connection is recommended.
1. When you're asked whether you have a Google Account, sign in to your account.
2. Use your mobile data or Wi-Fi connection to connect your phone to the Internet.
If you used your Google login credentials as your HTC Account and your backup is in Google
Drive™, touch Sign in with Google.
If not, touch Remind me later, go to the Transfer or restore screen, and select Restore from
HTC Backup.
3. Follow the onscreen instructions to restore your backup and to continue setting up your phone.
4. Slide open the Notifications panel to check if there's any notification to finish setting up your
phone.
Your free apps that you’ve previously downloaded from Google Play will be restored in the background,
and you can track the progress via a notification in the status bar. To restore paid apps, you need to
download and install them from Google Play.
Your apps will appear on the Apps screen as they are installed. The Apps and Home screen shortcuts will
be reorganized as in your backup after all of your apps have been installed. You may continue using your
phone while apps are being restored.
