20 Getting Started
1.3 Starting Up
After inserting the battery, you can now power on and start using your XV6900.
Turn your XV6900 on and off
To turn on the power
• Press the POWER button. When you turn on your XV6900 for the first time, a Quick Start Wizard will
guide you through the calibration process and the setup of regional settings, date and time, and
password. For more information about touch screen calibration, see “Calibrate the device”.
To turn off the power
• Press and hold the POWER button for a few seconds. A message will then be displayed, prompting you
whether or not to turn off the device completely.
Calibrate the device
Calibrating the touch screen involves tapping the centre 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 XV6900 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.
• 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.
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.
Switch your XV6900 to Sleep mode
Quickly pressing the POWER button turns off the display temporarily and switches your XV6900 to Sleep
mode. Sleep mode suspends your XV6900 to a low power state while the display is off in order to save battery
power. Your XV6900 also automatically goes into Sleep mode when you leave the device idle after a certain
amount of time.
You will still be able to receive messages and calls while your XV6900 is in Sleep mode. Pressing the POWER
button again or new incoming calls/messages will wake up your XV6900.
To specify the timeout period before your XV6900 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.
