• The battery indicator on the screen will show charging progress.

2. Inserting the SIM Card

The HTC One (M7) uses a Nano-SIM card. Locate the SIM card tray on the side of the device. Use the SIM ejector tool (if provided, or a small paperclip) to open the tray. Place your Nano-SIM card into the tray with the gold contacts facing down and the cut corner aligned correctly. Gently push the tray back into the slot until it clicks into place.

Maintenance

1. Battery Care

To maximize battery life, avoid extreme temperatures. Charge the phone regularly, but it is not necessary to fully discharge the battery before recharging. Close unused applications running in the background to conserve power.

2. Software Updates

Keep your device's software up to date to ensure optimal performance and security. You can check for updates by navigating to Settings > About phone > Software updates.

3. Cleaning Your Device

Use a soft, lint-free cloth to clean the screen and body of your HTC One. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the device's finish and screen coating. The screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 2, but care should still be taken to prevent scratches.
