Page 2 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.) Choose a rate plan wisely Your phone can use up a lot of Internet bandwidth really quickly. Before you use your phone, we strongly recommend that you talk to your mobile operator about data rates. If you’re on a standard data plan, the costs could really add up. Switching to a flat-rate plan could be a lot cheaper. 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.
Page 3 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 Safety and regulatory guide 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 guide for regulatory information about your phone.

Page 289: Update And Reset
Update and reset Updating your phone’s system software From time to time, system software updates for your phone may be available. Your phone can check and then notify you if an update is available. You can then download and install the update to your phone. Depending on the type of update, the update may erase all your personal data and customized settings, and also remove any programs you have installed. Make sure that you have backed up the information and files you want to keep. Checking and downloading system software updates may incur additional data transfer fees from your mobile operator. When there is an update available, the Install system software update dialog box will appear onscreen. On the dialog box, select Install now, and then tap OK. Select Install later if you want to install the system update at a later time. When you are ready to install, open the Notifications panel, and then tap System update is ready.

Page 290 90 Update and reset Your phone checks for system software updates. If no update is available the message “Your system is currently up to date.” appears. Performing a hard/factory reset You can return your phone to its original state, as it was when it left the factory. This is also called a hard reset. You might want to do this if you are giving your phone to a friend or relative and you want to remove all your data first, or if your phone has a persistent problem that is not solved by powering off the phone and then powering it on again. A factory reset is a drastic measure. It permanently erases all your personal data and customized settings, and also removes any programs you have installed. Make sure that you have backed up the information and files you want to keep. If your phone hangs or freezes, we recommend that you do a “soft” reset instead of a hard/factory reset. To perform a soft reset, remove the battery, wait for a few seconds, and then re-install it. After re- installing the battery, turn on the phone. Performing a factory reset via settings The most convenient way to do a factory reset is via the phone settings. Press HOME > MENU, then tap Settings. Scroll down the screen, and then tap Privacy > Factory data reset. On the Factory data reset screen, tap Reset phone, and then tap Erase everything. ...
