Getting Started With Data Services
With your HTC service, you are ready to start enjoying the advantages of data services. This section will help
you learn the basics of using your data services, including managing your user name, launching a data
connection, and navigating the Web with your phone.
Your User Name
When you buy your phone and sign up for service, you’re automatically assigned a user name, which is
typically based on your name and a number, followed by “@HTCpcs.com.” (For example, the third John
Smith to sign up for HTC data services might have
jsmith003@HTCpcs.com
as his user name.)
When you use HTC Power Vision services, your user name is submitted to identify you to the Nationwide
HTC Network. Your user name will be automatically programmed into your phone. You don’t have
to enter it.
Note The next time your phone connects to a previously accessed secured wireless network, you will not be prompted
to enter the WEP key again, unless you reset your phone to its factory default settings.
Wi-Fi networks are self-discoverable, which means no additional steps are required for your phone to connect to a
Wi-Fi network. It may be necessary to provide a username and password for certain closed wireless networks.
Note If you want to remove the phone’s wireless network settings, tap Forget on this window. You need to enter the
settings again if you want to connect to this wireless network.
Tip To manually scan for available Wi-Fi networks, on the Wi-Fi settings screen, press and tap Scan .
Note If the wireless network you want to connect to is not in the list of detected networks, scroll down the screen, and
tap
Add a Wi-Fi network . Enter the wireless network settings and tap Save .
