Battery
HTC Salsa uses a rechargeable battery. How long the battery can last before it needs
recharging depends on how you use HTC Salsa. Among these are the features and
accessories you use (for example, leaving your Bluetooth™connection always on uses
more power). Long phone calls and frequent web browsing uses up a lot of battery
power. Also, consider your location: poor signal strength from your mobile network
and extreme temperature make the battery work harder.
Inserting the battery
1. Take the bottom cover off.
2. Open the battery compartment door.
3. Insert the battery (with its exposed copper contacts first) into the battery
compartment.
14 Getting started

Removing the battery
1. Take the bottom cover off.
2. Open the battery compartment door.
3. Slide the battery out.
Charging the battery
The battery is partially charged when shipped. Before you turn on and start using
HTC Salsa, 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 in the box must be used to
charge the battery.
§Do not remove the battery from HTC Salsa while you are charging it using the
power or car adapter.
1. Plug the power adapter into the USB connector.
2. Plug in the power adapter to an electrical outlet 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 battery is fully charged.
15 Getting started

When you charge the battery and HTC Salsa is on, the charging battery icon is
displayed in the 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 the power on or off
Switching the power on
Press the POWER button. Easy.
When you turn on HTC Salsa for the first time, you’ll need to set it up.
Switching the power off
1. If the display is off, press the POWER button to turn it back on, then unlock the
screen.
2. Press and hold the POWER button for a few seconds.
3. When the Power options menu appears, tap Power off.
Entering your PIN
Most SIM cards come with a PIN (personal identification number) set by your mobile
operator. If you’re asked for a PIN, enter it and then tap OK.
If you enter the wrong PIN three times, your SIM card is blocked. No problem. Just
contact your mobile operator and ask for the PUK (PIN Unblocking Key).
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.

horizontally across the screen.
16 Getting started

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 HTC Salsa sideways. When
entering text, you can turn HTC Salsa 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.
Setting up HTC Salsa for the first time
When you switch on HTC Salsa for the first time, you’ll be asked to set it up. You can
choose your language, how you want to connect to the Internet, and whether you
want your current location to be automatically detected. If you still have personal
contacts and calendar events stored on your old phone, you can easily transfer them
to HTC Salsa through Bluetooth as well.
Be sure to sign in to your Google™Account so you can use Google apps like Gmail™
and Android Market™. You can also set up your other email accounts, favorite social
networks like Facebook®and Twitter™, and more.
Just follow the onscreen instructions and you’ll be up and running 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 your mobile
operator. Don’t worry. You can enable or disable them in settings later on.
