the temperature may exceed 60°C (140°F), such as on a car dashboard,

window sill, or behind a glass that is exposed to direct sunlight or strong

ultraviolet light for extended periods of time. This may damage the product,

overheat the battery, or pose a risk to the vehicle.

PREVENTION OF HEARING LOSS

CAUTION: Permanent hearing loss may occur if earphones or

headphones are used at high volume for prolonged periods of time.

NOTE: For France, Headphones and Earphones (listed below) for this device

have been tested to comply with the Sound Pressure Level requirement laid

down in the applicable NF EN 50332-1:2000 and/or NF EN 50332-2:2003

standards as required by French Article L. 5232-1.

• Earphone, manufactured by HTC, Model name: HS S168 and S200.

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

the phone by switching to Flight 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, 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 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 device near metal structures (for example, the steel

frame of a building).

• Avoid using your device 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 it is 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.

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.

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.
