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.

Make sure the cover doesn’t protrude from the side.

tray, to ensure that it’s closed evenly and firmly.

Storage card

Use a storage card to store your photos, videos, and music. When you need to free up

phone storage space, you can also move certain apps to the storage card, if the apps

support this feature.

The storage card is optional and sold separately.

§ Moving apps to the storage card doesn't back up the apps. If you do a factory

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

reinstall them.

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.

§ As a safety precaution, the battery may stop charging to avoid overheating.

§ We recommend you check the temperature of the battery while you're charging.

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.
