  • Page 2 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.  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 ...

Please also read the Product Safety & Warranty Brochure 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 brochure for warranty information about your phone.

      Update and reset Checking for phone system software updates manually Press HOME    > MENU, then tap Settings. Scroll down the screen, and then tap System updates. Tap HTC software update, and then tap Check now. Your phone checks for system software updates. If no update is  available, the “Your phone is up to date” dialog box 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. Factory reset is not a step to be taken lightly. It permanently erases all  your data and customized settings, and also removes any applications  you have downloaded and installed. Make sure that you have backed  up the information and files you want to keep before you do a factory  reset.  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.
