When inserting the eject tool into the tray eject holes to remove the card trays, make
sure not to press on the trays to avoid damaging the eject mechanism inside the slots.
Also, if you want to use a protective case, make sure to buy a case that's designed for
HTC One and that doesn't block the trays.
11 Unboxing

nano SIM card
HTC One uses a nano SIM card.
Use a standard nano SIM card only. Inserting a modified card that is thicker than the
standard nano SIM card may cause the card to not fit properly or damage the card
slot.
Inserting a nano SIM card
1. Hold the phone face up.
2. Insert the tip of the tray eject tool (or a small bent paperclip) into the tray eject
hole next to the nano SIM card slot.
3. Push the tip all the way into the hole until the tray ejects, and then pull the tray
out.
4. Remove the placeholder card from the tray, if there's one pre-inserted.
5. Place the nano SIM card (contacts facing down) into the tray.
6. Insert the card tray back into the slot.
12 Unboxing

Removing a nano SIM card
Make sure to switch off HTC One before removing the card.
1. Hold the phone face up and the top panel facing you.
2. Insert the tip of the tray eject tool (or a small bent paperclip) into the tray eject
hole next to the nano SIM card slot.
3. Push the tip all the way into the hole until the card tray ejects.
4. Pull the card tray out, and remove the nano SIM card.
5. Make sure that you insert the empty card tray back into the slot.
Storage card
Use a storage card to store your photos, videos, and music. When you need to free up
phone storage space, you can also move certain apps to the storage card, if the apps
support this feature.
The storage card is optional and sold separately.
§Moving apps to the storage card doesn't back up the apps. If you do a factory
reset, your phone loses the apps. You'll need to reinstall them.
§When you remove the storage card and insert it in another phone, the apps on the
storage card won't be installed automatically to the other phone. You'll need to
reinstall them.

Charging the battery
Before you turn on and start using HTC One, it is recommended that you charge the
battery.
§If the battery has been discharged for several days, you may need to charge
HTC One for several minutes before powering it on.
§Use only the adapter and the USB cable that came with HTC One 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.
1. Insert the small end of the USB cable into the USB connector.
2. Insert the other end of the USB cable into the power adapter.
3. Plug in the power adapter to an electrical outlet to start charging the battery.
§As a safety precaution, the battery may stop charging to avoid overheating.
§We recommend you check the temperature of the battery while you're charging.
Also, avoid charging the battery in hot environments.
§When you're using the Internet and charging the battery, HTC One may become
warmer. This is normal.
§To conserve energy, unplug the power adapter from the electrical outlet after you
finish charging.

Phone setup and transfer
Setting up your new phone for the first time
When you switch on your new phone for the first time, you’ll be asked to set it up.
You can enable TalkBack to navigate by voice feedback before selecting the
language. Press and hold two fingers on the screen until you hear a message saying
that accessibility mode is enabled.
Walk through the on-device setup to choose your Internet connection, sign in to your
accounts, and more.
There are different options you can choose to set up your new phone:
§If you don't plan to restore a previous backup from your online storage, you can
use the HTC Get Started service to first personalize your new phone and set up
your accounts from your computer.
On the Fast and easy setup screen, tap I want to use Get Started. Your phone
will show you the URL of the HTC Get Started site and a pair code. On your
computer's web browser, just go to the URL and enter the pair code to start
your web setup. Save your setup to your HTC Account so you can download
your personalized settings to your phone.
If you already finished the HTC Get Started setup before turning on your new
phone, just download your web setup.
§If you have content from another phone that you want to transfer, whether it's
from an Android™or other phone, select Get content from old phone.
§If you have a previous phone backup that you want to restore from your online
storage, select Restore from HTC Backup.
To make it easier for you to back up and restore content from HTC One to another
HTC phone in the future, select Back up phone daily.
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. To avoid incurring
data fees, disable these features under Settings. For more information on location
services, see Turning location services on or off on page 160.

Restoring your backup from your online
storage
If you used HTC Backup before, you can restore your backup to HTC One when you
turn the phone on for the first time or after a factory reset.
Depending on the amount of content, restoring your backup to your phone
through your data connection may incur additional data costs and take a long time.
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.
3. If you used your Google login credentials as your HTC Account and your backup
is in Google Drive™, tap Sign in with Google.
If not, tap Remind me later, go to the Transfer or restore screen, and select
Restore from HTC Backup.
4. Follow the onscreen instructions to restore your backup and to continue setting
up your phone.
5. Slide open the Notifications panel to check if there's any notification to finish
setting up your phone.
Free apps 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 HTC One while apps are being restored.

Transferring content from an Android phone
On your old Android phone, download the HTC Transfer Tool and use it to transfer
your content to your new HTC phone. The types of locally stored content on your old
phone that the tool can transfer include contacts, messages, calendar events, web
bookmarks, music, photos, and videos. Some settings can also be transferred.
§You need Android version 2.2 or later to use the HTC Transfer Tool on your old
phone.
§If your old phone has Android version 2.1 or an earlier version, you need to use
Bluetooth®transfer. For details, see Transferring contacts from your old phone
through Bluetooth on page 21.
1. If you're setting up your new HTC phone for the first time, select Get content
from old phone.
Or go to Settings, and then tap Get content from another phone.
2. Choose whether to transfer from an old HTC Android phone or other Android
phone.
3. Tap Full transfer, and then tap Next.
4. Follow the steps shown on your new phone to download the HTC Transfer Tool
from Google Play to your old phone, install it, and open the tool.
5. When you see a PIN on your old phone, make sure the same PIN also appears
on your new phone before you continue.
If the PIN code doesn't appear, this may mean that your old phone is unable to
connect to your new phone. If this happens, try another transfer method.
6. On your old phone, choose the types of content you want to transfer, and then
tap Start or Transfer.
7. Wait for the transfer to finish.
8. Tap Done on both phones.
Transferring content from an iPhone
If you have an iPhone, it's fast and easy to transfer your contacts, messages, and other
content when you use HTC Sync Manager.
To find out how, see Transferring iPhone content and apps to your HTC phone on
page 138.
If you only need to migrate your contacts, you can also use Bluetooth transfer. For
details, see Transferring contacts from your old phone through Bluetooth on page
21.
