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.

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.
