HTC Detail User manual

Your HTC Detail

User guide

Before you do anything else, please read this

Charge the battery

The battery in your phone hasn’t been charged yet. While your phone

is charging, it’s important that you do not remove the battery pack.

Doing so can damage your phone. Also, please don’t try to take your

phone apart. (If you do, it may invalidate your warranty.)

Choose a rate plan wisely

Your phone can use up a lot of Internet bandwidth really quickly.

Before you use your phone, we strongly recommend that you talk to

your mobile operator about data rates. If you’re on a standard data

plan, the costs could really add up. Switching to a flat-rate plan could

be a lot cheaper.

Know about privacy laws

Some countries have strict laws about how and when you can record

phone conversations. For example, you may need to tell the person

you’re speaking to before you start recording. It’s a good idea to find

out what the laws are where you live before you use your phone’s

recording feature.

And finally, a few important words from our legal team (LIMITATION OF

DAMAGES)

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall

HTC or its affiliates be liable to you, any user, or third party for any

indirect, special, consequential, incidental or punitive damages of any

kind, arising in contract, tort, or otherwise, including, but not limited

to, injury, loss of revenue, loss of goodwill, loss of business opportunity,

loss of data, and/or loss of profits, regardless of the foreseeability

thereof or whether HTC or its affiliates have been advised of the

possibility of such damages. And in no event shall the total liability of

HTC or its affiliates exceed the amount received from you, regardless

of the legal theory under which the cause of action is brought. The

foregoing does not affect any statutory rights which may not be

disclaimed.

Please also read the Product Safety & Warranty Brochure that is

included in the box for information on the proper usage of your phone

to prevent injuries and to avoid damaging your phone. You can also

refer to this brochure for warranty information about your phone.
