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.)
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 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 Statement 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.

Back cover
Removing the back cover
Remove the back cover to access the battery compartment and
storage card and SIM card slots.
With the phone switched off, hold your phone securely with the
front facing down.
Starting from the small opening at the bottom of the phone, lift
the back cover and remove it completely.
Replacing the back cover
Please handle the back cover with care since your phone’s antennas are placed
underneath it. Avoid twisting or bending the back cover.
To get the best signal for calls, data connection, or GPS navigation, be sure to
secure the back cover tightly to the phone.
Align the back cover onto the phone’s top panel.
Press all sides of the back cover towards the phone.
You’ll hear clicks when the small tabs underneath the back cover
are locked in place.

16 Basics
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.
Removing the battery
When you take your phone out from the box, make sure to peel off the thin film
of the battery that’s inside your phone. Pull the flap of the film to release the
battery.
1. Take the back cover off. See “Removing the back cover”.
2. Lift the battery from the groove at the top of the battery
compartment.

Basics 17
Inserting the battery
Insert the battery (with its exposed copper contacts first) into the
battery compartment. Then gently push the battery into place.
Charging the battery
The battery is partially charged when shipped. Before you turn on
and start using your phone, it is recommended that you charge
the battery. Some batteries perform best after several full charge/
discharge cycles.
Only the power adapter and USB sync cable provided with your phone
must be used to charge the battery.
Do not remove the battery from the phone while you are charging it using
the power or car adapter.


1. Connect one end of the USB cable to the AC charger.
2. Connect the smaller end of the USB cable to the USB Connector
on the left side of your wireless device.
4. Plug in the AC charger to a wall socket 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 phone is fully
charged.

18 Basics
When you charge the battery while the phone is on, the charging
battery icon is displayed in your phone’s 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.
Switching your phone on or off
Switching your phone on
Press and hold the POWER/LOCK button for a few seconds until the
screen turns on.
When you turn on the phone for the first time, you’ll need to set it up. See the
Getting started chapter for details.
Switching your phone off
1. If the display is off, press the POWER/LOCK button to turn it
back on, then unlock the screen by sliding down the bar on the
lock screen.
See “Unlocking the screen” in the Getting started chapter for
details.
2. Press and hold the POWER/LOCK button for a few seconds.
3. When the Power options menu appears, tap Power off.

Basics 19
Finger gestures
Tap When you want to type using the keyboard, select items
onscreen such as application and settings icons, or press
onscreen buttons, simply tap them with your finger.
Press and hold To open the available options for an item (for example, a
contact or link in a web page), simply press and hold the
item.
Swipe or slide To swipe or slide means to quickly drag your finger
vertically or horizontally across the screen.
Drag Press and hold your finger with some pressure before you
start to drag. While dragging, do not release your finger
until you have reached the target position.
Flick Flicking the screen is similar to swiping, except that you
need to swipe your finger in light, quicker strokes. This
finger gesture is always in a vertical direction, such as when
flicking the contacts or message list.
Rotate For most screens, you can automatically change the
screen orientation from portrait to landscape by turning
the phone sideways. When entering text, you can turn the
phone sideways to bring up a bigger keyboard.
Pinch In some apps, like Gallery or the web browser, you can
“pinch” the screen using two fingers (for example, thumb
and index finger) to zoom in or zoom out when viewing a
picture or a web page.

Getting started
Setting up your phone for the first time
When you switch on your phone for the first time, you’ll be asked to
set up your phone. Just follow the onscreen instructions and you’ll be
up and running with your phone in no time.
Some features that need to connect to the Internet such as location-based
services and auto-sync of your online accounts may incur extra data fees from
Verizon Wireless. Don’t worry. You can enable or disable them in your phone’s
settings as you go along later on. To find out how, see the Settings chapter.
Home screen
Your Home screen is where you make your phone your own. It comes
with a weather clock widget that shows the time and weather in your
current location.
You can also add your favorite apps, shortcuts, folders and widgets so
they’re always just a tap away.
To find out how, see the Personalizing chapter.
