Guidelines and Preparation for Using 10.2 GPS
If you installed a GPS navigation software on your device, follow these guidelines
before and when using your device for GPS navigation.
• 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.
166 Navigating on the Road
• 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.
•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.
Navigating on the Road 167
• 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.
10.3 Downloading Location Data via QuickGPS
Before using the device for GPS navigation, open QuickGPS to download
ephemeris data (current satellite position and timing information). QuickGPS
significantly speeds up the time for determining your GPS position. QuickGPS
downloads ephemeris data from web servers, instead of from satellites, using your
device’s Internet connection via Wi-Fi, ActiveSync or GPRS/3G.
To open QuickGPS
Tap Start > All Programs > QuickGPS.
To download GPS 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.
168 Navigating on the Road
Changing the download options
To configure download options, tap Menu > Options and choose from available
options:
• Remind me when data expires.
Display a message when ephemeris data expires.
• Auto download when data expires.

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.
220 Appendix
• 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 HTC 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.
Appendix 221
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The standard incorporates a
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. This phone has been
tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with an accessory
222 Appendix
that contains no metal and that positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from
the body. For body worn operation, to maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines, use only HTC Corporation approved accessories. When carrying the
phone while it is on, use the HTC Corporation supplied or approved carrying case,
holster, or other body-worn accessory. Use of non HTC Corporation approved
accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines and should be avoided.

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.
Appendix 223
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.
