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 onscreen
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.
To smooth the edges of screen fonts for many programs, on the ClearType
tab, select the Enable ClearType check box.
To increase the readability or to see more content on the screen, on the
Text Size tab, adjust the text size by moving the slider.
Switch your device to Sleep mode
Quickly pressing the POWER button turns off the display temporarily and
switches your device to Sleep mode. Sleep mode suspends your device to a
low power state while the display is off in order to save battery power.
Your device also automatically goes into Sleep mode when you leave the
device idle after a certain amount of time.
To specify the timeout period before your device goes into Sleep mode
1. Tap Start > Settings > System tab > Power > Advanced tab.
2. Under On battery power, make sure the Turn off device if not used
for check box is selected.
3. Select the battery timeout period, then tap OK.
To automatically configure data connection settings
1. When you see the notification message from the Connection Setup,
tap Yes.
Notes • If you do not see the notification message, tap on the title bar to
display the message.
• If your USIM/SIM card supports multiple network operator profiles, a
message will appear with network profile choices. Select the profile
you want to use and tap OK.
2. Connection Setup then starts to configure your device’s data
connection settings.
3. After the Connection Setup completes the configuration, tap Restart.
For more information about the Connection Setup, see Chapter 10.
Charge the battery
New batteries are shipped partially charged. Before you start using your
device, it is recommended that you 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 right 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 right 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.
