Setting up HTC One S for the first time

When you switch on HTC One S for the first time, you’ll be asked to set it up.

Just follow the onscreen instructions and you’ll be up and running in no time.

Some features that need to connect to the Internet such as location-based services and auto-sync of your online accounts may incur extra data fees. Don’t worry. You can enable or disable them in settings later on.

When HTC One S has started, you'll see Quick Tips on some screens (such as the Home screen) that will guide you in using HTC One S. The tips for a screen won't display again after you've closed them.

To view the Quick Tips again, slide the Notifications panel open, and then tap > About > Help > Show all quick tips.
