Important Information The following topics provide important information that should be read prior to using your HTC Bolt™. Radio Frequency Exposure Operating Instructions This device was tested for compliance with the applicable FCC and Industry Canada specific absorption rate (SAR) limits for radio frequency (RF) exposure during typical body-worn operations. To ensure that RF exposure levels remain at or below the tested levels, use a belt-clip, holster, or similar accessory that maintains a minimum separation distance of 1.0 cm between your body and the device, with either the front or back of the device facing towards your body. Such accessories should not contain any metallic components. Body-worn accessories that do not meet these specifications may not ensure compliance with applicable SAR limits and their use should be avoided. Important Note on Recoverable Data Files and other data that have been deleted, cleared, removed, or erased from your device may still be recoverable by third-party data recovery software. Even a factory reset may not permanently erase all data from your phone, including personal information. Getting Started Important Information...

Warranty will be void if the phone is not used in accordance with the instructions and precautions addressed in this user guide, including, but not limited to, using the phone in environments or situations that exceed the limitations of the IP57 rating. For usage precautions and tips on care and maintenance, see Care and Maintenance Tips and Cleaning and Drying. Also make sure to read the Important Information Booklet that comes with the phone. Care and Maintenance Tips Follow these tips and precautions to help maintain water and dust resistance for your phone. Never attempt to insert or remove the nano SIM and microSD cards with gloves, wet hands, or when the phone is wet. Before closing the card slot covers, wipe off every drop of water or dirt with a clean, dry cloth. Also make sure that no hairs, fibers, or small particles are caught between the covers and the slot openings to prevent water from seeping through the gaps and entering the phone. Parts that maintain water resistance such as the card slot cover may degrade over time. If these parts degrade or get damaged, the phone will no longer be water resistant. If this happens, contact your retail store or mobile operator. You may be charged for parts replacement. Do not intentionally submerge HTC Bolt. If the phone accidentally gets immersed in water, do not press the Power/Lock and Volume button and do not operate the phone. Do not expose the phone to fast or strong-moving water such as shower spray, running taps or faucets, waterfalls, or ocean waves. Do not expose the phone to or let the USB port come in contact with the following: Water containing soap, detergent, or shower gel Sea water, swimming pools, spas, hot water, and hot springs Any liquid besides tap water such as alcohol, juices, and condiments Sand ...
If the phone is exposed to fresh water, make sure to dry it thoroughly. To avoid damaging the phone, do not charge when contaminants are present or the USB port is not completely dry. In these circumstances, do not connect any external device. Never use a hair dryer to dry wet parts of the phone. The power adapter and accessories are not water resistant. Never use them in wet areas such as in the bathroom or kitchen since contact with water may cause malfunction, electric shock, or other hazards. Avoid leaving the phone in humid places such as the bathroom or kitchen for too long since it is not moisture-proof. Cleaning and Drying If HTC Bolt has had contact with salt water, liquid chemicals, dust, or other contaminants, immediately rinse the phone. When the phone is wet, make sure to dry it thoroughly. To avoid damaging HTC Bolt, don't charge the phone when contaminants are present or the USB port is not completely dry. In these circumstances, do not connect any external device. The sound volume of the earpiece, speakers, and microphone may be less audible if these parts are not dried well. Rinsing Before rinsing, make sure the nano SIM and microSD slot covers are closed tightly. See SIM Card and SD Card for details. Rinse the phone using fresh water. Rinse by hand only. Don't use a brush or sponge. While rinsing, do not press on the card slot covers to avoid having gaps around the covers which may allow water to seep through the gaps. Drying Gently wipe off the water from the phone with a clean, dry cloth. Don't use cotton swabs to wipe the earpiece, speakers, microphone, and connection port. The display may not respond accurately to touch gestures when it's wet. For the touch screen and lenses, wipe with a soft dry cloth such as a microfiber cloth that will not scratch the surface. Leave the phone at room temperature for 3 hours or so to let it dry completely. If buttons and any ...

Make sure that the camera lens and dual flash are clean and without fingerprints. Use a soft, clean, microfiber cloth to wipe them. Make sure you're not moving the camera when taking a photo, especially in low light conditions or when taking photos in Pro mode with RAW format selected. Take Clear, Sharp Shots HTC Bolt has auto features that make taking photos easy. The Photo mode in the Camera app gives you a quick and reliable way to take photos. For more creative shots, HTC Bolt also features a quick way of adjusting the exposure level or brightness in real time. Just tap to focus, and then slide upwards repeatedly to make the subject brighter to bring out additional details or downwards to make it darker and richer. Tapping the screen to focus uses the image contrast to dynamically readjust, which is sometimes desirable if you wish to take a macro to get an off-center bokeh effect or take photos while you're moving. If the subject is moving, on the Viewfinder, touch and hold the subject to lock the focus. If there are parts of the image that are in shadows and others are in highlights, use HDR to capture multiple shots of different exposures and combine them into one shot. Keep HTC Bolt steady or place it on a level surface when using HDR. When taking a panoramic photo, consider the whole scene and focus on an object that has a neutral tone to help keep the exposure balanced in the composite image. Make sure you're not moving the camera when taking a photo, especially in low light conditions. Hold the phone steady and don't move the camera while taking RAW photos in Pro mode. Other Tips In Camera settings, tap Grid to help frame the subject better or improve the composition.

Digital Negative (DNG) is an open-standard lossless RAW image format.

RAW photos are not processed when captured to preserve most of the original image data—such as dynamic range—so you can adjust lighting or make professional adjustments using advanced editing tools. After making adjustments, save the RAW photo as a JPG file if you want to print or share it. Google Photos Here are some of the things you can do when using Google Photos on HTC Bolt.

A Standby time specification ("specification") is an industry standard that is only intended to allow comparison of different mobile devices under the same circumstances. Power consumption in a standby state is strongly dependent on factors including but not limited to network, settings, location, movement, signal strength and cell traffic. Comparisons of different mobile devices using such a specification can therefore only be done in a controlled laboratory environment. When using any mobile device in real life circumstances for which the mobile device is intended, the standby time could be considerably lower and will be strongly dependent on the factors as mentioned above.
