Charge the battery

New batteries are shipped partially charged. Before you start using your device, it is recommended that you install and charge the battery. Some batteries perform best after several full charge/discharge cycles. You can charge the battery in two ways:

•Charging the device’s battery by connecting the power adapter.

•Connecting your device to a PC via the provided USB Sync cable.

Note Only the AC adapter and USB cable provided with your device should be used to charge the device.

Charging is indicated by a solid amber light on the left LED indicator.

As the battery is being charged while the device’s power is on, a charging icon ( ) will be shown on the title bar of the Today screen. After the battery has been fully charged, the left LED becomes green and a full

battery icon ( ) appears on the Today screen’s title bar.

Warning!	• Do not remove the battery from the device while you are charging it
	using the AC or car adapter.
	• As a safety precaution, the battery stops charging when it overheats.

Calibrate the device

Calibrating the touch screen involves tapping the center of a cross with the stylus as the cross moves around the screen. This process ensures that when you tap the screen with your stylus, the tapped item is activated.

If your device does not accurately respond to screen taps, follow these steps to re-calibrate it:

1.Tap Start > Settings > System tab > Screen.

2.On the General tab, tap Align Screen, then follow the on-screen instructions to complete the calibration.

Manage screen settings

The device’s display has the following orientation modes: Portrait and Landscape. To change the orientation, tap Start > Settings > System tab > Screen, and select the orientation you want.

Tip To quickly change the screen orientation, you can also tap the Rotate Screen icon in HTC Home’s Launcher. See “HTC Home” later in this chapter for details.
