4 Quick Start Guide
1. Welcome to the HTC Snap Quick Start Guide
Congratulations on your purchase of the HTC Snap™ Global Phone!
This Quick Start Guide will help you get started with your new phone. This guide will walk
you through the features we feel you will want to learn right away when you use your HTC
Snap.
For a more complete guide in using your HTC Snap, please refer to the User Manual PDF
in the Getting Started disc that came with the device.
Changing Networks on the Go!
Have you ever traveled to another country or outside your network carrier service area
only to find that you have to purchase or lease another cell phone?
Your HTC Snap Global Phone covers all the bases by incorporating a GSM SIM slot into its
CDMA architecture. Now when you travel outside the range of the Telus CDMA service
coverage area, you can insert a quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE SIM card that gives you the
power to go where you want to and still keep connected.
For more information about your dual mode CDMA Global Phone, refer to the User
Manual.
