next to the SIM card tray slot. You should insert it at an angle.

the tray.

Charging the battery

Before you turn on and start using HTC One XL, it is recommended that you charge

the battery.

Use only the adapter and the USB cable that came with HTC One XL to charge the

battery. When the battery power is too low, make sure to use the power adapter to

charge, not the USB cable connection with your computer.

1. Insert the small end of the USB cable into the USB connector.

2. Insert the other end of the USB cable into the power adapter.

3. Plug in the power adapter to an electrical outlet to start charging the battery.

§As a safety precaution, the battery stops charging if it overheats.

§When you're using the Internet and charging the battery, HTC One XL may

become warmer. This is normal.

§To conserve energy, unplug the power adapter from the electrical outlet after you

finish charging.

Switching the power on or off

Switching the power on

Press the POWER button.

When you turn on HTC One XL for the first time, you’ll need to set it up.
