Facebook FAQ
What are the differences Between Facebook for
HTC Sense and Facebook for Android
Application?
Facebook for HTC Sense is not a standalone
application. It is integrated into People, Friend
Stream, and Gallery to give you up-to-date
information about your Facebook contacts (their
status updates and new photos) in these
applications.
The Facebook for Android application is a
standalone application. Use this application to do
most of the things that you would do when you’re
using your computer’s Web browser to access your
Facebook account, such as adding a friend and
adding captions to photos you upload.
The two do not share the same login credentials.
Signing in to Facebook for HTC Sense does not sign
you in to the Facebook application and vice versa. If
you want to use the same Facebook account for
both, you’ll have to sign in to both using the same
login credentials.

occurs:
Note: Face detection does not work in video mode.
Tip: Hold the device vertically when taking portrait shots or

TV FAQs
1. Will I know if I’m receiving an incoming call while I’m
viewing or listening to a media clip?
No. All incoming calls will roll into voicemail while
you are playing a clip. If the caller leaves a
voicemail, you will see the voicemail icon on the
screen.
2. How long are the clips? Will I know the estimated
time it will take to play the clip prior to accessing it?
Once you have selected a channel, you will see a
listing of the available clips, with each clip’s length
displayed after the clip’s title. In general, a clip’s
duration will depend on the story or content being
provided, and can be fairly short or as long as a
few minutes.
3. Can I access a clip wherever I am, as long as I have
my device?
As long as you are on the network, you will have
access to the audio and video clips.
Note: The first time you access a channel, the
system will prompt you to purchase access
(unless the channel doesn't have a
monthly fee). Select Subscribe to purchase
access, or select Preview to view a preview
of the selected channel.
Note: You must turn off Wi-Fi before you can
view TV. If you launch TV and have Wi-Fi
enabled, a message will appear onscreen
asking you if you want to turn off Wi-Fi.
Tip: While you are playing a clip, you can slide your finger up
or down on the screen to surf to a different channel. You
will see a small pop-up screen that tells you which
channel you are watching as well as other channels that
you have access to. Slide your finger on the screen to
scroll through the channels. Once you find a channel that
you want to watch or listen to, scroll to it and then tap it (or
simply wait approximately three seconds), and the
channel will begin loading.
Note: TV service does not work while roaming off

4. Are the videos that I’m viewing “live” videos?
It depends on the content provider. Some of the
channels available through TV stream live content.
Others provide media on demand with video and
audio clips that are refreshed throughout the day,
but that are not “live.”
5. After purchasing access to an Available Channel for a
monthly fee, do I receive any confirmation? That is,
how do I know it has been purchased?
The next time you access the channel, you bypass
the Preview/Purchase page and go directly to the
available content.
6. If I don’t subscribe to a data plan, will I still be able to
view the multimedia clips?
Yes. For service access charges, please consult
your service plan.
7. What does it mean when the video pauses and I see
the word “loading” at the bottom of the screen?
This happens when the device is loading the data
necessary to play the clip. It typically occurs when
there is heavy traffic on the network.
8. How can I cancel service if I decide I don’t want it?
To cancel your TV service, sign on with your
account number and password. From this page,
you have the ability to cancel the service or any
channels to which you subscribe.
9. If I put on my stereo headset and insert it into the
device’s headset jack, can I turn off the screen while I
am playing an audio (or video) clip without
interrupting the clip?
Yes. When you insert your stereo headset into the
device’s headset jack, the device automatically
goes into “headset mode,” allowing you to turn the
screen off and continue playing the clip. (Likewise,
if your device is in “headset mode,” a phone call
will not disconnect when you turn off the screen.)
10. Can I surf to a different channel while I am playing a
clip?
Yes. While you are playing a clip, you can use the
up and down navigation keys to surf to a different
channel. You will see a small pop-up screen that
tells you which channel you are watching as well
as other channels that you have access to. Use the
navigation keys to scroll through the different
channels. Once you find a channel that you want
to watch, scroll to it and press (or simply wait
approximately three seconds), and the channel will
begin loading.

FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC)
Regulations for Wireless Devices
On July 10, 2003, the U.S. Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) Report and Order in WT Docket 01-
309 modified the exception of wireless phones under
the Hearing Aid Compatibility Act of 1988 (HAC Act) to
require digital wireless phones be compatible with
hearing-aids. The intent of the HAC Act is to ensure
reasonable access to telecommunications services for
persons with hearing disabilities. While some wireless
phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing
aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a
buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing
devices are more immune than others to this
interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount
of interference they generate. The wireless telephone
industry has developed a rating system for wireless
phones, to assist hearing device users find phones that
may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all
phones have been rated. Phones that are rated have
the rating on their box or a label located on the box.
The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary
depending on the user’s hearing device and hearing
loss. If your hearing device happens to be vulnerable to
interference, you may not be able to use a rated phone
successfully. Trying out the phone with your hearing
device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal
needs.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC
requirements and are likely to generate less interference
to hearing devices than phones that are not rated. M4 is
the better/higher of the two ratings. Your PG06100 is
rated M4.
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC
requirements and are likely to be more usable with a
hearing aid’s telecoil than phones that are not rated. T4
is the better/higher of the two ratings. Your PG06100 is
rated T3.
282 4B. Regulatory Notices
Please power off the Bluetooth function while using
hearing aid devices with your PG06100.
The hearing aid and wireless phone rating values are
then added together. A sum of 5 is considered
acceptable for normal use. A sum of 6 is considered
for better use. A sum of 8 is considered for best use. In
the above example, if a hearing aid meets the M2 level
rating and the wireless phone meets the M3 level
rating, the sum of the two values equal M5. This should
provide the hearing aid user with “normal usage” while
using their hearing aid with the particular wireless
phone. “Normal usage” in this context is defined as a
signal quality that is acceptable for normal operation.
This methodology applies equally for T ratings. The M
mark is intended to be synonymous with the U mark.
The T mark is intended to be synonymous with the UT
mark. The M and T marks are recommended by the
Alliance for Telecommunications Industries Solutions
(ATIS). The U and UT marks are referenced in Section
20.19 of the FCC Rules. The HAC rating and
measurement procedure are described in the
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19
standard.
Hearing devices may
also be rated. Your
hearing device
manufacturer or
hearing health
professional may help
you find this rating.
Higher ratings mean
that the hearing device
is relatively immune to
interference noise.

major change in the treatment of electrical equipment
at end-of-life.
The purpose of this Directive is, as a first priority, the
prevention of WEEE, and in addition, to promote the
reuse, recycling and other forms of recovery of such
wastes so as to reduce disposal.
