The HTC Butterfly 3 is a smartphone designed with user convenience and durability in mind, particularly regarding its waterproof capabilities. This manual provides essential instructions for setting up the device, focusing on the insertion of nano SIM and microSD cards, and offers crucial information on maintaining its waterproof integrity.

Function Description

The HTC Butterfly 3 serves as a mobile communication device that supports both nano SIM and microSD cards. The nano SIM card enables cellular connectivity, allowing users to make calls, send messages, and access mobile data networks. The microSD card slot provides expandable storage, allowing users to store a larger volume of photos, videos, applications, and other data. The device is designed to be user-friendly, with clear instructions for card insertion and removal.

Usage Features

Card Insertion and Removal:

The process of inserting and removing both the nano SIM and microSD cards is straightforward, utilizing trays that slide into dedicated slots on the phone.

Nano SIM Card Insertion:
1. Ensure the phone is powered off and facing down.
2. Locate the small groove on the upper slot.
3. Insert a fingernail into the groove and gently pull the nano SIM tray out.
4. Place the nano SIM card into the tray with its gold contacts facing up and the cut-off corner facing outwards. This orientation is crucial for proper recognition by the device.
5. Carefully reinsert the nano SIM tray, ensuring it is facing up to prevent the card from falling out. Slide the tray completely into the slot until it is flush with the phone's body.
MicroSD Card Insertion:
1. After inserting the nano SIM, locate the small groove on the bottom slot.
2. Insert a fingernail into the groove and pull the microSD tray out.
3. Flip the phone and the microSD tray over so that both are facing up.
4. Place the microSD card into the tray with its gold contacts facing down and the narrower side facing towards the slot. This specific orientation ensures the card is correctly seated and recognized.
5. Slide the microSD tray all the way into its slot until it is flush with the phone's body.

Important Considerations for Card Usage:

Standard Nano SIM Only: The device is designed exclusively for standard nano SIM cards. Attempting to use a cut micro SIM or regular SIM card is strongly discouraged. Such cards are typically thicker than standard nano SIMs and can get stuck in the slot, potentially damaging the phone or the card itself.
Retain Trays: The nano SIM and microSD slots require their respective trays for card insertion. It is essential not to discard these trays, as they are integral to the functionality of the card slots.

Maintenance Features

Waterproof Protection:

The HTC Butterfly 3 boasts an IP57 dustproof and waterproof standard, offering a degree of protection against accidental water exposure. This means the phone is designed to withstand certain conditions without sustaining damage.

Conditions for Waterproof Protection:

For the waterproof feature to be effective, specific conditions must be met:

Closed Covers: The nano SIM and microSD covers must be firmly closed and not protrude from the side of the phone. Any gap or improper closure can compromise the waterproof seal.
Water Type: The phone's waterproof rating applies to immersion in plain tap water only.
Depth and Duration: The device is protected if immersed within 1 meter deep for less than 30 minutes. Exceeding these limits or exposing the phone to different types of liquids may void the waterproof protection.

Precautions for Maintaining Waterproof Integrity:

To ensure the longevity and effectiveness of the phone's waterproof features, users should adhere to the following precautions:

Avoid Liquid Chemicals: Do not immerse the phone or allow the USB port and headset jack to come into contact with liquid chemicals such as liquid soap or detergent. These substances can degrade the seals and materials, compromising the waterproof protection.
Avoid Specific Environments: Never immerse the phone in sea water, swimming pools, hot springs, or any liquid other than plain tap water (e.g., alcohol). These environments contain chemicals, salts, or other substances that can damage the phone's internal components and seals.
Rinse After Exposure: If the USB port and headset jack have accidentally come into contact with salt water or liquid chemicals, immediately rinse them with fresh water. This helps to remove corrosive elements that could damage the connector pins over time.
Dry Wet Ports: If the USB port and headset jack get wet, hold the phone with these ports facing up and gently shake the water off. It is crucial to allow these ports to dry completely before using the phone or connecting any accessories. Using the phone with wet ports can lead to short circuits or damage.
Keep Away from Sand: Sand can easily enter small openings and scratch surfaces, potentially compromising the seals and overall integrity of the phone. Keep the device away from sandy environments.

Self-Help and Support:

For further guidance on using the phone and understanding its features, including more detailed information on waterproof protection, users can access the HTC Help app directly on the device. From the Home screen, tap the ::: icon, then find and tap "Help."

Additionally, comprehensive support resources are available online at www.htc.com/support/. This website offers tutorials, the user guide, FAQs, the latest news, and more. Users are also advised to read the Safety and regulatory guide included in the box for important information.

By following these instructions and precautions, users can ensure the proper functioning and extended lifespan of their HTC Butterfly 3, leveraging its features while maintaining its designed durability.
