Back cover
Removing the back cover
Remove the back cover to access the battery compartment, SIM card slot, and
storage card slot.
1. With HTC EVO 3D switched off, hold your phone securely with the front facing
down.
2. Lift the back cover up gently, starting from the small opening at the bottom of
the phone and then from the two sides.
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.
1. Align the back cover onto the top panel of HTC EVO 3D.
2. Press the sides and the top part of the back cover down to lock the cover into
place. You’ll hear clicks when the small tabs underneath the back cover are
locked in place.
