Battery and Charger

WARNING	Use only Sprint-approved or HTC-approved batteries and chargers with your device. The failure to use a
	Sprint-approved or HTC-approved battery and charger may increase the risk that your device will overheat,
	catch fire, or explode, resulting in serious bodily injury, death, or property damage.

Sprint-approved or HTC-approved batteries and accessories can be found at Sprint Stores or through HTC; or call 1-866-866-7509 to order. They’re also available at www.sprint.com.

Battery Capacity

Your device is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained. The battery provides up to 4 hours of continuous talk time.

Note	Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, browser use, and other variables may reduce the
	battery’s talk and standby times.
Tip	Watch your device’s battery level indicator and charge the battery before it runs out of power.
