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

3
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.
Please also read the Product Safety & Warranty Brochure 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 brochure for warranty information about your phone.
