Battery

HTC Explorer uses a rechargeable battery. How long the battery can last before it needs recharging depends on how you use HTC Explorer.The features and accessories you use can affect battery life. For example, leaving your Bluetooth® connection always on uses more power. Long phone calls and frequent web browsing use up a lot of battery power. Also, consider your location: poor signal strength from your mobile network and extreme temperature make the battery work harder.

Removing the battery

Take the back cover off.
With your thumb or finger, lift the battery from the battery compartment.

Inserting the battery

Important: Please use only original batteries that came in the box or replacements that we recommend.

Take the back cover off.
