nano SIM card
HTC Desire EYE uses a nano SIM card.
Use a standard nano SIM card only. Inserting a modified card that is thicker than the
standard nano SIM card may cause the card to not fit properly or damage the card
slot.
Inserting a nano SIM card
With HTC Desire EYE facing up, the nano SIM slot is on the left side.
1. With the HTC Desire EYE facing down, insert your fingertip in the small
nano SIM tray slot opening, and then pull the nano SIM tray out.
2. Make sure the nano SIM tray is facing up so that the nano SIM doesn't
accidentally fall out when you insert the card.
3. Place the nano SIM card into the tray, with the card’s gold contacts facing up
and cut-off corner facing out.
14 Unboxing
4. To reinsert the nano SIM tray, center it first in the slot, and then slide it all the
way in.
5. Slide your finger several times across the cover that’s attached to the nano SIM
tray, to ensure that it’s closed evenly and firmly.

phone storage space, you can also move certain apps to the storage card, if the apps
support this feature.

reset, your phone loses the apps. You'll need to reinstall them.
§ When you remove the storage card and insert it in another phone, the apps on the
storage card won't be installed automatically to the other phone. You'll need to

Charging the battery
Before you turn on and start using HTC Desire EYE, it is recommended that you
charge the battery.
§ If the battery has been discharged for several days, you may need to charge
HTC Desire EYE for several minutes before powering it on.
§ Use only the adapter and the USB cable that came with HTC Desire EYE to charge
the battery. When the battery power is too low, make sure to use the power
adapter to charge, not the USB cable connection with your computer.
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.

Also, avoid charging the battery in hot environments.
§ When you're using the Internet and charging the battery, HTC Desire EYE may
become warmer. This is normal.
§ To conserve energy, unplug the power adapter from the electrical outlet after you
finish charging.
