Getting The Battery To Last Longer - HTC Cobalt User Manual

14 Getting started
Charging the battery
Before you turn on and start using HTC Cobalt, it is recommended that you charge
the battery.
§ The battery is already installed in HTC Cobalt when shipped. A thin film is inserted
between the battery and the compartment. You need to remove this film before
you can charge the battery.
§ Only the power adapter and USB cable provided in the box must be used to
charge the battery.
§ Do not remove the battery from HTC Cobalt while you are charging it using the
power or car adapter.
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 stops charging if it overheats.
