SAFETY IN AIRCRAFT
Due to the possible interference caused by this product to an aircraft’s navigation
system and its communications network, using this device’s phone function on
board an airplane is against the law in most countries. If you want to use this
device when on board an aircraft, remember to turn off your phone by switching to
Airplane Mode.
ENVIRONMENT RESTRICTIONS
Do not use this product in gas stations, fuel depots, chemical plants or where
blasting operations are in progress, or in potentially explosive atmospheres such
as fuelling areas, fuel storehouses, below deck on boats, chemical plants, fuel or
chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders. Please be aware that sparks in such
areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
When in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere or where flammable
materials exist, the product should be turned off and the user should obey all signs
and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in
bodily injury or even death. Users are advised not to use the equipment at refueling
points such as service or gas stations, and are reminded of the need to observe
restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants, or where
9
blasting operations are in progress. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere
are often, but not always, clearly marked. These include fueling areas, below deck
on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
ROAD SAFETY
Vehicle drivers in motion are not permitted to use telephony services with
handheld devices, except in the case of emergency. In some countries, using hands-
free devices as an alternative is allowed.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR RF EXPOSURE
• Avoid using your phone near metal structures (for example, the steel frame of
a building).
• Avoid using your phone near strong electromagnetic sources, such as
microwave ovens, sound speakers, TV and radio.
• Use only original manufacturer-approved accessories, or accessories that do
not contain any metal.
• Use of non-original manufacturer-approved accessories may violate your
local RF exposure guidelines and should be avoided.
INTERFERENCE WITH MEDICAL EQUIPMENT FUNCTIONS
This product may cause medical equipment to malfunction. The use of this device is
forbidden in most hospitals and medical clinics.
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your
device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your
physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in
these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using
equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
10
HEARING AIDS
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event
of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider, or call the
customer service line to discuss alternatives.
NONIONIZING RADIATION
Your device has an internal antenna. This product should be operated in its normal-
use position to ensure the radiative performance and safety of the interference.
As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for
satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is
recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to come too close to the
antenna during operation of the equipment.
Use only the supplied integral antenna. Use of unauthorized or modified antennas
may impair call quality and damage the phone, causing loss of performance and
SAR levels exceeding the recommended limits as well as result in non-compliance
with local regulatory requirements in your country.
To assure optimal phone
performance and ensure human
exposure to RF energy is within the
guidelines set forth in the relevant
standards, always use your device
only in its normal-use position.
Contact with the antenna area
may impair call quality and cause
your device to operate at a higher
power level than needed. Avoiding
contact with the antenna area
when the phone is IN USE optimizes
the antenna performance and the
battery life.

1.7 Navigating On Your Device
There are different ways you can navigate and interact with the interface of your
device.
Finger-touch control
A quick and easy way to interact with the home screen and the whole interface
of your device is by touch. Basically, the following are the types of actions, called
finger gestures, you would use when interacting with your device:
40 Getting Started
Touch or tap
When selecting items on the screen, such as the Home screen tabs, Start menu,
programs and settings icons, and large on-screen buttons, simply touch them with
your finger. Apply some pressure with your finger pad when touching an item on
the screen.
Tapping means to touch lightly and quickly with your finger pad or fingertip.
On screens that display smaller-size items, you can more accurately select an item
by tapping it with your fingertip.
Swipe
To swipe means to drag your finger vertically or horizontally across the screen.
The following are some instances when you would use swiping:
Flipping on the Home screen
Swipe your finger vertically to flip through favorite contacts, messages, music
albums, photos, and more. For more information, see “Using the TouchFLO
Home Screen” in Chapter 3.
Scrolling
When browsing the contacts list, web pages, documents, and certain
selection lists on the Home screen (such as the All Programs list), slowly
swipe your finger vertically across the screen to scroll. This allows you to scroll
by page and to view the content or available selections as you scroll.
For detailed instructions, see “Finger scrolling” in Chapter 3.
Slide
Sliding on the touch screen also involves dragging with your finger, but you need
to press and hold your finger with some pressure before you start to drag. While
dragging, do not release your finger until you have reached the target position.
•
•
Getting Started 41
The following are some instances when you would use sliding:
Switching between Home screen tabs
Slide your finger left and right to switch between the Home screen tabs. For
more information, see “Using the TouchFLO Home screen“ in Chapter 3.
Advancing playback
In Windows Media® Player Mobile, slide your finger horizontally on the
progress bar to advance forward or move backward in the music or video you
are playing. For more information about Windows Media® Player Mobile, see
“Using Windows Media® Player Mobile” in Chapter 11.
Flick
Flicking the screen is similar to swiping, except that you need to swipe your finger
in light, quicker strokes. This finger gesture is always in a vertical direction, such as
when flicking the contacts list. See “Finger scrolling” in Chapter 3 for details.
Finger zooming and panning
In programs such as Album and Opera Mobile, you can use finger gestures when
zooming and panning. See Chapter 3, 8 and 11 for details.
Stylus
You can use the stylus to navigate and interact with the touch screen. To use the
stylus, pull it out from the stylus compartment at the top of the right panel of your
device. Basically, you tap with the stylus to open programs and select items on the
screen, and you tap and hold on the screen to open a shortcut menu. You can also
use the stylus the same way as what you do with finger gestures, such as swiping,
sliding and flicking on the screen.

42 Getting Started
Navigation Wheel
On the home screen and in many programs on your device, you can use the
Navigation Wheel to move through menus and instructions. Rotate the wheel or
press the control up, down, left, and right to move around the screen. When an item
has been selected on the screen, press the ENTER button (the center button) to
confirm your selection.

2.2 Making Calls
To make a call, you can either dial a number or select a contact you want to call.
Make a call from the Phone screen
The Phone’s Smart Dial feature makes it quick and easy for you to place a
call. When you start entering a phone number or contact name, Smart Dial
automatically searches and sorts the contact entries on the SIM card, in Contacts,
and the phone numbers in Call History (including incoming, outgoing, and missed
calls). You can then select the desired number or contact from the filtered list.
You can just enter the first letter of the name or number of a contact. Smart Dial will
search for contact phone numbers and the first character of a contact name as well
as from the character that appears after a space, dash, or underscore in a contact
name. For example, if you tap number “2” on the phone keypad, which is associated
with [a, b, and c] on the Phone keypad, contact names such as the following will
be considered matches: “Ben Miller”, “George Adams”, “John-Carter”, “Carter, Ellen”,
“Dixon, Allan”, “Thomas_Clark”, “JaneCampbell”.
If the matching list is long and you want to narrow down the search further, enter
another letter. Using the same example above, if you continue to tap “3” which is
associated with [d, e, f], the matching list will be narrowed down to the following
names: “Ben Miller”, “George Adams”, “Carter, Ellen”, “Dixon, Allan”.
To call a phone number or contact
1. Press the TALK/SEND button or tap Phone on the Home screen.
2. Begin entering the first few numbers or characters by tapping the keys on
the Phone keypad. As you enter numbers or letters, the Smart Dial panel will
display matches found.
If you tapped a wrong number or character, tap to erase each subsequent
digit or character. To erase the entire entry, tap and hold .
56 Using Phone Features
3. Tap to close the phone keypad and to see if there are more matching
numbers or contacts in the Smart Dial panel. To browse through the filtered
list, flick through the list, slide your finger up or down the list slowly, or press

7.2 Working With Company E-mails
Your device gives you instant access to your company e-mails and lets you manage
your messages easier. Direct Push, Fetch Mail, Remote e-mail search, and e-mail
flags are just some of the tools you can use to manage your e-mails.
Note Some messaging features depend on the Microsoft Exchange Server version used in

your device as soon as they arrive in your Inbox on the Exchange Server. Items such
as contacts, calendar and tasks are also immediately updated onto your device when
these items have been changed or new entries have been added on the Exchange
Server. To make Direct Push work, you need to have a Wi-Fi or data connection on
your device.
You need to perform a full synchronization between your device and the Exchange
Server first before Direct Push can be enabled.
Requirement The Direct Push feature works for your device only if your company is using

10.1 Guidelines and Preparation for Using GPS
Please follow these guidelines when using GPS on your device:
• When using GPS navigation software in the car, always plot your GPS route
before starting to drive. Do not try to configure the GPS navigation software
while driving.
• The plotted GPS route is only for driving reference. It should not interfere with
actual driving behavior.
• Do not leave your device in a vehicle or expose the device to direct sunlight
to avoid overheating the battery, which could pose damage to the device or
risk to the vehicle.
• When using the device inside a vehicle, use the car holder to mount the
device securely in place. Avoid placing the device in the areas shown in the
following diagram:
1 Do not place where it will block the driver’s vision.
2 Do not place where air bags could deploy.
3 Do not place anywhere in the vehicle without securing the device in the
holder.
Finding and Recording Places 193
• Please use the GPS system cautiously. Users shall be liable for any damages
resulting from negligent operation of the system.
• The GPS signal cannot pass through solid non-transparent objects. Signal
reception may be affected by obstructions such as high-rise buildings,
tunnels, bridges, forests, weather (rainy or cloudy days), etc. If the vehicle’s
visor contains metal, it will be difficult for the GPS signal to pass through.
• Other nearby wireless communication products (such as mobile phones or
radar-detecting devices) may interfere with the satellite signal, resulting in
unstable signal reception.
• The Global Positioning System (GPS) is built and operated by the US
Defense Department. The Department is responsible for the accuracy and
maintenance of the system. Any changes that the Department makes may
affect the accuracy and function of the GPS system.
10.2 Downloading Satellite Data via QuickGPS
Before you start using your device for GPS navigation, open the QuickGPS program
first to download ephemeris data (current satellite position and timing information)
onto your device. This data is needed to determine the GPS position of your current
location.
QuickGPS downloads ephemeris data from a web server, instead of from the
satellites, using the Internet connection on your device, which can be via Wi-Fi,
ActiveSync or GPRS/3G. This significantly speeds up the time for determining your
GPS position.
To open QuickGPS
Tap Start > Programs > QuickGPS.
194 Finding and Recording Places
To download data
Tap Download on the QuickGPS screen.
On the screen, initially, you will see the Valid
time of the downloaded data. As time passes,
the remaining days and hours of validity will be
shown.
To speed up GPS positioning, download the
latest ephemeris data when the validity of the
data expires. You can improve GPS performance
even more by downloading data more
frequently.
Download options
To configure download times, tap Menu > Options and choose from the following:
• Remind me when data expires.
Enables your device to display a reminder message when the validity of the
ephemeris data has expired.
When you see the reminder message, tap Menu to dismiss the reminder or to
set the snooze time so that you will be reminded again. Tap OK to open the
QuickGPS program and download the latest data.
• Auto download when data expires.
Allows ephemeris data to be automatically updated onto your device when
the data has expired.
• Auto download when connected to PC via ActiveSync.
Allows ephemeris data to be automatically downloaded via ActiveSync to
your device when your device is connected to your computer. Your computer
must be connected to the Internet in order to download data.
Note The ephemeris data is stored on HTC web servers. QuickGPS is preconfigured to
connect to these servers.

IOLI110.
To ensure continued reliable and safe operation of your device, use only the
accessories listed below with your IOLI110.
The Battery Pack has been assigned a model number of JADE160.
Note This product is intended for use with a certified Class 2 Limited Power Source, rated 5
Volts DC, maximum 1 Amp power supply unit.
Federal Communications Commission Notice
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harm-ful interference to radio or TV reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment on and off, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Appendix 305
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or television technician for help.
Modifications
The FCC requires the user to be notified that any changes or modifications made
to the device that are not expressly approved by High Tech Computer Corporation
may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Safety precautions for RF exposure
• Use only original manufacturer-approved accessories, or accessories that do
not contain any metal.
• Use of non-original manufacturer-approved accessories may violate your
local RF exposure guidelines and should be avoided.
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Your device contains a radio transmitter and receiver. The radiated output power
is far below the international radio frequency exposure limits. These limits are part
of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the
general population. The guidelines are based on the safety standards previously set
by international standards bodies:
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1-1992
• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP). Report
86. 1986
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996
• Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6. The standards include a
substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The standard incorporates a
306 Appendix
substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to
account for any variations in usage.
As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for
satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is
recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to come too close to the
antenna during operation of the equipment.
Your device has an internal antenna. Use only the supplied integral antenna. Use of
unauthorized or modified antennas may impair call quality and damage the phone,
causing loss of performance and SAR levels exceeding the recommended limits as
well as result in non-compliance with local regulatory requirements in your country.
To assure optimal phone performance and ensure human exposure to RF energy
is within the guidelines set forth in the relevant standards; always use your
device only in its normal-use position. Do not touch or hold the antenna area
unnecessarily when placing or receiving a phone call. Contact with the antenna
area may impair call quality and cause your device to operate at a higher power
level than needed. Avoiding contact with the antenna area when the phone is IN
USE optimizes the antenna performance and the battery life.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified by
the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all
tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified
power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operation can be well
below the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at
multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network.
In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the
power output. Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be
tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the
government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in
positions and locations (for example, at the ear and worn on the body) as required
by the FCC for each model. (Bodyworn measurements may differ among phone
models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements). For body
Appendix 307
worn operation, to maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, use
only original manufacturer approved accessories. When carrying the phone while
it is on, use the specific original manufacturer supplied or approved carrying case,
holster, or other body-worn accessory.

Telecommunications & Internet Association (TIA)
Safety Information
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum
separation of six inches be maintained between a handheld wireless phone
and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and
recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers:
• Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their pacemaker
when the phone is turned ON.
• Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking
place, turn the phone OFF immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event
of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider, or call the
customer service line to discuss alternatives.
308 Appendix
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your
device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your
physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn the phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in
these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using
equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
