Dock your phone
Coming home after a stressful day? Dock your phone and
wind down by listening to music or viewing your photos.
The battery is also being charged while the phone is
docked.
When in Dock Mode, your phone turns into a desk clock,
photo slideshow viewer, or music player. When you receive
a call, the dock becomes a speaker phone so you can take
your call hands free.

dock. Make sure that the dock contacts on the phone
and on the dock are aligned.
2. Press it gently to secure it in place.
2. Choose if you want to play music, view photos, or even
check the time and weather.
If it’s time to go, simply remove your phone from the dock.

box. Contact your service provider or retail store for details
on purchasing this and other accessories.
Before you do anything else,
please read this
Charge the battery
The battery in your phone hasn’t been charged yet. Please use the
supplied power adapter to do a full charge before you start using
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.
Using data services while roaming will be costly. Check with
your mobile operator for data roaming rates before you use data
roaming.
Know about privacy laws
Some countries have strict laws about how and when you can
record phone conversations. 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 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.
