Back cover

Removing the back cover

Remove the back cover to access the battery compartment, SIM card slot, and

storage card slot.

1. With HTC EVO 3D switched off, hold your phone securely with the front facing

down.

2. Lift the back cover up gently, starting from the small opening at the bottom of

the phone and then from the two sides.

Replacing the back cover

Please handle the back cover with care since your phone’s antennas are placed

underneath it. Avoid twisting or bending the back cover. To get the best signal for

calls, data connection, or GPS navigation, be sure to secure the back cover tightly

to the phone.

1. Align the back cover onto the top panel of HTC EVO 3D.

2. Press the sides and the top part of the back cover down to lock the cover into

place. You’ll hear clicks when the small tabs underneath the back cover are

locked in place.
